Dear Goodland Athletes,
First of all I can’t thank you enough for the happiness you’ve brought to my life, and all the memories Ill always have with each of you! I really want you all to know that without crossfit I wouldn’t have this much passion for life, and without you I would not have crossfit. My high school wrestling coach used to say that wrestling is a team sport, and I now I am telling you crossfit is a team sport. We all want to become great as individuals, which we will, but we can’t do it alone, and you all do a great job of taking on the role of teammates for each other to inspire greatness in everyone. We all have highs and lows, but together we stay dynamically constant towards crushing our goals! I double take when I think of how short we have had the great pleasure to know each other. It feels like its been years, but that is only a testament to the experiences we’ve had and the amount of knowledge gained through our interactions. I was honored to WOD beside you, it was a pleasure to coach you, and it was a blessing to learn from you. Please, please, please keep raging harder then ever guys! The sacrifices you make in your workouts are for a goal, weather on the board or in life so don’t let them slip out of focus and stay on track. This is a long journey where we are striving for perfection, content with the knowledge that we will never be perfect. I will always applaud your effort even if I’m not in the same room as you, and know that you guys will always be in my thoughts.

P.S. If you’re ever in the bay area in the near future looking for a workout, get my information from Nick. Then, after you rage, ill tell you where the best wineries are.

Sav Up,
Nick Pappas

  1. Your leadership, approach-ability, and knowledge of strength and movements exemplifies everything one would look for in a coach while your character and virtuous nature makes you an even better friend.
    It’s been great training with you and lifting under your tutelage Pappas.
