CrossFit was love at first sight for Rachel. She loved the friendly competitiveness, whether competing with another athlete, or herself, and the fact that there is always something to challenge yourself with, or a skill to work on. She has always had a passion for coaching and helping other athletes achieve their goals. She has coached many years of high school sports, and after discovering CrossFit it was a natural transition to become a coach. She is also a wife and a mother to 4 children whom she homeschools, and loves camping, playing board games and reading with her kids. And finding any snippet of time to hangout one on one with her husband!
“One thing about CrossFit, (or any type of fitness) that I think is really neat, is the subtle mind shift that can happen. Have you ever thought, there is no way I can do a double under, a pull-up with no bands, snatch 100lb+ or a myriad of other things? I have. But once you’ve overcome those challenges, you find yourself thinking ‘I can do that if I put the work in, do I want to or no?’ And instead of defaulting to failure, you’re making the choice to not prioritize said challenge now, (which is fine, as long as you own it!) or to overcome it. This gives you more confidence, and if you really embrace it, this confidence can translate to other areas of your life, which is really cool to see.”

Heather has a love for movement and people. She enjoys encouraging others to reach new goals, grow stronger, and work through weaknesses. Heather is a wife and mother of three boys that she homeschooled for six years. She distinctly remembers the first day she walked into a CrossFit gym as a new mom. That day taught her that being fit wasn’t just a state of being but a lifelong state of doing. She takes this mindset with her as she coaches the Mallard community. After a challenging workout you’ll often hear her say, “that was fun!”
“Everyday we choose what to foundation to build our lives upon. CrossFit is similar in that it teaches the fundamentals of functional fitness and we choose how to build upon that based on our strengths while improving our weaknesses. Whether someone is a seasoned, new, returning, or an elder athlete, everyone who puts in their best effort is an inspiration!
