How do you remember every person’s name in a class and why is it important? How do you know when to wait for everyone to finish a warm-up component versus when it’s time to move on? And how does a coach effectively guide athletes to understand the intended stimulus of a workout and select the appropriate scaling options?
Join Annie Sakamoto (CF-L4) and Nicole Christensen (CF-L4) as they dissect class footage from Annie’s 9 a.m. class at CrossFit Santa Cruz Central. Annie, a 17-year veteran coach and affiliate owner, provides insight into her coaching process and breaks down the elements that make her class a must-take for athletes at her gym.
From whiteboard organization to more nuanced considerations for running a group class, Annie is a master of putting each of the six criteria for effective coaching to work.
