Raw Iron

This week was about far more than a placing.

Watching Shelley compete on one of the biggest stage and finish 5th at the Adaptive CrossFit Games fills me with nothing but pride.

Most people only see the competition floor. They don’t see the the setbacks, the endless hours of training, the sacrifices, the frustration, or the resilience it takes just to get there. Every session was another opportunity to prove that limits are often far smaller than we think.

Finishing 5th in the world is an incredible achievement. While we’ll always chase improvement, this result doesn’t define the athlete. Shelleys courage, work ethic, and determination shown every single day do.

As a coach, I’m grateful to be part of the journey. It’s a privilege to stand in the corner of someone who refuses to make excuses and continues to inspire everyone around them.

Time to recover, reflect, and then get back to work. The goal hasn’t changed.

Proud is an understatement.

So much has been said, you’d think there wouldn’t be much left to say. But not when it comes to this lady, Humble as pie and always chasing a sweet treat 🍩🍪
Behind you calm exterior whilst pacing up and down a warm up area, is a lady always willing to work her hardest and still try help out her friends, training buddies and competition.
She just does the work, pushing hard and still finds time to have a good chat with anyone and everyone. If you were far from home, she’d make you feel welcome in any circumstance.
I’ve had the honour to coach Bronwyn and program for her for a few years now, and this being her third games and best ever finish. I believe she is still growing as an athlete and only becoming better as we continue mentally.
We are all so very lucky to have Bronwyn a part of Raw Iron CrossFit, and if you have crossed paths with her anywhere you’d agree 🥰
