July Athlete of the Month – Adrian Young

By Robyn Challands | In Blog Articles | on July 30, 2016
Where to begin with Adrian.  The gentleman never ceases to amaze the coaching staff here at CrossFit Victoria.  His warm and kind personality, coupled with his positive and humble attitude and wicked sense of humour, are just some of the reasons why we think he’s amazing.
Adrian joined us almost two years ago and has been working extremely hard ever since.  His squat alone has improved tenfold and we’ve watched him progress in leaps and bounds in all aspects of CrossFit.
When we envisage community spirit, Adrian is often the name that springs to mind.   He is always the first to say hello to new people and leaves a fantastic lasting impression on everyone.  We hosted an in super hero house partner competition last year and unfortunately someone had to pull out.  However, so that this person’s partner did not have to also forfeit their spot, Adrian and another member took it upon themselves to team up to help her finish the comp… while also completing the WODs himself!  It damn near brought Coach Amelia to tears, overwhelmed at the community love!
Adrian, you are an incredibly valued member of our community and so deserving of this month’s Athlete of the Month title!
Check out the fantastic things the coaches had to say below:
Senior Coach Adam Earnshaw said: “Adrian is the BOMB! Lately he has been smashing the workouts and really committing to improving in every area.”

 Coach Laura Gibbs added: “Adrian always has such a positive attitude when he walks into the gym. He’s the first to help out a newbie, and the first guy cheering his fellow box buddies on during a WOD. Such a great guy to sweat with!”

Coach Amanda Hill said: “Adrian is the best addition to any class! He is freakin’ hilarious, a bit naughty, a lot encouraging and is always working damn hard on improving his weaknesses! He’s a huge, wonderful personality in our community and is an absolute pleasure to coach.”

Head Coach Amelia Thomsett had heaps to say: “Since Adrian has been with us I have watched him get stronger and fitter but the most exciting thing I has happened over this last year, is his movement patterns have gotten SO much better. Adrian is very dedicated to improving himself, always coming in early to do mobility and listens to all the coaches advice.”

“Adrian is an amazing member of our community as well! I will always remember when him and Claire V helped Bree finish off the superhero Comp in 2015! Even after doing the WODs himself! He welcomes every new member with a massive smile and makes them feel so welcomed! We all absolutely love having Adrian as part of our team!!”

Coach Mason Dannatt added: “Working with Adrian is refreshing as a coach, he is always keen to learn better ways to do things, and will put into practice whatever advice he is given. And the guy gets after it!”
