So what are the habits you need to develop in order to climb up all the way up to the peak of your ‘success mountain’? Take a look:

1. A healthy athlete is a successful athlete.

Although performance and WOD scores are the ultimate goal of every competitive Crossfit athlete, health should be a huge priority. You can’t improve if you keep getting injured. Even small injuries bring setbacks, slower progress and weaknesses that in a sport as diverse as functional fitness, can lead to a decrease performance output and lower overall results. I’d like to argument this fact with a quote from Andrea Massi (famous coach to a 2-time Sochi Olympic gold medalist in alpine skiing Tina Maze):

Training should be designed in a way that even professional athletes can finish their career healthy.’
