We talk about the CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2, what those weekends are actually like, what they teach, and why taking a cert is only the beginning. Matt shares his journey through multiple certifications, how CrossFit coaching first clicked for him, and the moment he realized just how powerful great coaching can be.We also get into:🔥 What the L1 actually teaches🔥 Why a cert alone does not make you a coach🔥 The difference between knowledge and real coaching experience🔥 Why movement, cueing, and body awareness matter so much🔥 The value of filming yourself and learning to coach your own movement🔥 Why most “Instagram coaches” are missing the pointThis one is for anyone who has ever wondered what goes into coaching at a high level, why good coaching matters, and why CrossFit is a lot deeper than just working out hard.#BeyondTheWOD #CrossFit #CrossFitL1 #CrossFitCoaching #FunctionalFitness #FitnessCoaching
