Above is a great article about working with adaptive athletes.
The one thing I love about crossfit is that when you enter a box, you are considered an athlete. As someone who doesn't have the body of the leanest person in the world, I walk in with pride. My fellow crossfitters treat me with respect, often telling me I did a good job (even though my workout might look different then theirs).
Reading this article gets me thinking about people. People in general. Nothing should limit someone from doing something they want and I am glad the crossfit community embraces that. Makes me happy for our future.
