Important! Parents & Coaches Seminar/Mandatory Meeting for All BCF Athletes


Hey Guys,

Next Tuesday June 2nd at 7:30pm BCF CrossFit will be hosting an important and informative seminar about Health, Fitness and Our Youth. The past two years we have worked incredibly hard to provide a healthy and supportive atmosphere for the youth in our community. This summer we are thrilled to finally be in a position of elevating our youth programs to new heights!! For this to happen parents and coaches need to be on the same page.

If you have a child enrolled in this summers camps or in regular classes a parent must attend this meeting!!! We will be tackling numerous topics including health, fitness, and our youth along with important documents to be signed by a guardian. Starting June 15th, athletes under the age of 18 will not be allowed to train with out this completed. Your child's foundations are laid by you, which is why this seminar is for you and not them, so please leave the kiddos at home. If you have a time conflict and can't make the meeting please contact me ASAP. You will need to set up an appointment to fill out the appropriate paperwork for your child prior to June 15th.

PLEASE understand this seminar isn't about us trying to get kids signed up for camps. If each parent or coach walks away learning one new thing then we did our job! If you don't have a child in the camp no big deal; we broke the meeting into two sections so that anyone not interested can leave after the first part. Only the second section of the seminar will get into the details of the camps. Feel free to invite anyone you think might be interested in learning something about these topics! The Topics we will be discussing are below:


Seminar Format Part 1:

1. Why Work Out (Youth and Exercise)?

2. What is CrossFit (NO Really what is CrossFit)?

3. Exercise/CrossFit & Youth ( What Ages Should Be Doing What)?

4. How to You Develop Better Athletes?

5. Nutrition (What's Really Going On)?

6. Self Perception (Where Does Your Child Fall)?

7. Parents Expectations/Facility Rules (What do we Expect of You)?


Seminar Format Part 2

1. Breakdown of Camps (Goals for each camp, Expectations, Format)

2. What Camp Should My Child Be In?

3. Parents Rolls?


Thanks,

Trevor

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.




A team of 4 Navy SEALs led by LT. Michael P. Murphy on a mission to capture or kill akey Taliban leader, found themselves seriously outnumbered in a firefight with hundreds of enemy troops. Pinned down and under intense enemy fire, their communications operator severely wounded, they were in desperate need for help. Due to the mountainous terrain, their communications could not be received. Understanding the situation, LT. Michael P. Murphy moved to open ground, to use his satellite phone, exposing himself to enemy fire. LT Murphy was mortally wounded making that call. They continued fighting until Lt. Murphy and two of his three team mates were mortally wounded. His fourth team member, severely injured himself, managed to escape and was rescued 4 days later. He went on to tell the story in a book and movie titled “The Lone Survivor”.

For his selfless leadership, courageous actions and extraordinary devotion to duty, LT. Michael P. Murphy was posthumously rewarded the Medal of Honor, the first service member to receive the medal for service in Afghanistan, and the first Navy recipient of the medal since Vietnam.
