Numbered Athletes

CFS No.3 Carla Maripa-Campora

With the introduction of the numbered athlete system now at CFS i thought that i would post an article Glenn wrote about it that explains what it is, and how you can earn your own number.

This is really exciting & as far as I know CFP is the first Affiliate in the WORLD to introduce this system.

One thing we pride ourselves on at CFP is the "TEAM ENVIRONMENT" we have. We can thank COACH for that. I was branded with the nickname of H.C. (Head Coach) by Coach (Jody) early in the piece & it seems to have stuck. Don't let the titles misslead you who runs things around CFP. We are a partnership in every sense of the word, however it's Jody who does so many of the behind the scenes work & it's Jody who is responsible for the great team environment that we have.Most people know that Jody played professional rugby league for 10years. He has always thrived in this environment & it was a focus of his to bring it to CFP.

So what is it & how does it work;

What is it;

With more & more affiliate meets/competitions occurring the mindset of CrossFit athletes are changing. So many people treat CrossFit as their sport & at CFP we are no different. A numbered athlete is someone who wears their own number during competition, this number will be represented by them for life.

How do I become eligible

Any financial athlete who regularly trains at CFP & takes pride in calling CFP their "Home Box" & represents CFP in 3 meets/games days becomes eligible upon their 3rd meet. All you have to do is let H.C. know that you are interested & let him know after you compete so he can track your events. Sometime after your 2nd Games day/Competition put something in writing telling us what becoming a numbered Athlete means to you. It doesnt have to be a novel, just write something from the heart. Once you become a numbered Athlete, your number will remain yours for life. A numbered athlete recieves a "competition shirt" with their number, & these shirts can't be purchased by anyone, they MUST be earnt. Feel free to number all your CrossFit clothing. Additional numbers can be obtained from us. Once you recieve your number wear it proud as you have earnt it.

If anyone has any questions about our numbered athletes setup, please feel free to ask myself or Jody.Please feel free to let us know what you think about this....
