A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. -Steve Prefontaine

A few words from top CrossFitters, Coaches, and Gym Owners:

Chad and Ursula were able to point out, and correct just two small faults in my clean and jerk. Over the next two months of training I added 40 lbs to my squat clean 1 RM. I recommend their seminar to anyone that is dedicated to being a competitive CrossFitter, athlete, or weightlifter.
-Jeremy Thiel 3 time CrossFit Games qualifier, Owner of CrossFit Central

It is obvious that Chad and Ursula have the knowledge to be great Olympic style weightlifters, but they also have the coaching knowledge to make you a better lifter. I use these two regularly for help with my lifts and you would be smart to do the same thing.
– Dutch Lowy 2 time CrossFit Games qualifier, Owner CrossFit ATM and dutchlowy.com

I attended Chad and Ursula’s Olympic Weightlifting Seminar at G7. The one on one attention that I received helped me PR both my Snatch and Clean and Jerk. They where able to break down my lifts and build them up the way they needed to be. What really helped me was the attention to detail, every little correction. I can’t wait to be able to train under them again, and be able to host one of their Seminars at Bayou City CrossFit.
– Vic Zachary CrossFit Games Qualifier, Owner Bayou City CrossFit

Attending Chad and Ursula’s Olympic Weightlifting Seminar is a must. Their ability to break down lifts, and most importantly get the athlete to understand what they are doing is unmatched. Do yourself a favor and sign up to watch/learn from the best in the business.
-Bryan Diaz Regional CrossFit Games Qualifier, Head Coach/Programmer River City CrossFit, Traveling Coach for CrossFit Endurance

As a CrossFit competitor, Chad and Ursula’s seminar was a huge benefit. Becoming technically proficient in the snatch and clean and jerk has helped me to make major gains in both lifts. Besides benefiting me as an athlete, the greatest part of these seminars is that it makes me a better coach. I have a greater ability to coach athletes through the laid out progressions that Ursula and Chad demonstrate and teach. The platform time with these coaches is invaluable to me as an athlete and a coach.
-Miquel Garza Regional CrossFit Games Qualifier, Owner/Director of Programing for G7 Athletics, CrossFit Austin Coach
