Goodbye Matt!
















Making sure we were fed after the Epic Challenge!












Matt is leaving us to head to college at UCF! Matt has been around Tillman Physical Therapy & Sports Training since December of 2005! He started with us as a patient. He was a freshman in high school with a bit of attitude, but progressed quickly to become David's right-hand man and assistant. When we affiliated with CrossFit, Inc. in 2007, Matt was one of the first to jump on board with the idea and concepts and loved it! Matt played football for Cedar Park High School and although he suffered an injury, he was there for his teammates every step of the way.

Matt is an excellent athlete. Due to his injury, Matt double-unders on one leg and rows instead of runs. He is an inspiration to those who don't think they can - because he does it - injuries not withstanding. He is on our leader board in several places. He just went up 40lbs on his CrossFit Total with 915, a 5'35" Fran, 4'34" Grace, 8'20" Jackie and our first to master 30 Muscle-ups for time!

Matt is our employee, a terrific CrossFit Level 1 and Youth Speed & Agility Coach and above all else - a great friend. We will miss you, but know you are going to kick butt in College! Thanks for everything!

Fear Not

I've been watching a few of the females around our gym and wondering why they are still scaling their weights so low on the workouts. With 12 months of CrossFit and no history of injury under their belt, taking a wod that is a prescribed 95 lbs down to 65 lbs leaves me wondering where their desire for self improvement sits. Today, after the 5:30am class finished the WOD I asked what the deal was and the response hit home. "I'm scared of the weight." I have to admit that I've been there. I didn't even know I was scared of the weight until someone pushed me past what I thought was my limit. I very clearly remember that day, as I cussed and pouted about a metcon where I was strategically pushed into using 185 lbs on the dead lifts. That was the day I broke through a physical and mental block. I stepped off a plateau and into the next level of self achievement and all around improvement.

Ladies, take it to the next level and fear not! Guys, Don't let our ladies crush you...
