Learning to Breathe Fire: The Rise of CrossFit and the Primal Future of Fitness
Description
<p><b>The absorbing, definitive account of CrossFit's origins, its explosive grassroots growth, and its emergence as a global phenomenon.</b><br /> <br />One of the most illuminating books ever on a sports subculture, <i>Learning to Breathe Fire </i>combines vivid sports writing with a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human. In the book, veteran journalist J.C. Herz explains the science of maximum effort, why the modern gym fails an obese society, and the psychic rewards of ending up on the floor feeling as though you're about to die. <br /> <br />The story traces CrossFit’s rise, from a single underground gym in Santa Cruz to its adoption as the workout of choice for elite special forces, firefighters and cops, to its popularity as the go-to fitness routine for regular Joes and Janes. Especially riveting is Herz’s description of The CrossFit Games, which begin as an informal throw-down on a California ranch and evolve into a televised global proving ground for the fittest men and women on Earth, as well as hundreds of thousands of lesser mortals. <br /> <br />In her portrayal of the sport's star athletes, its passionate coaches and its “chief armorer,” Rogue Fitness, Herz powerfully evokes the uniqueness of a fitness culture that cultivates primal fierceness in average people. And in the shared ordeal of an all-consuming workout, she unearths the ritual intensity that's been with us since humans invented sports, showing us how, on a deep level, we're all tribal hunters and first responders, waiting for the signal to go all-out. </p>
Story Behind The Book
I have been called a ‘Connector’:
According to Wiki: Connectors are people in a community who know large numbers
of people and who are in the habit of making introductions. A connector is essentially
the social equivalent of a computer network hub. Connectors usually know people
across an array of social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, and make a
habit of introducing people who work or live in different circles.
I really love networking, meeting people, and introducing people to individuals that I believe
they will have business synergies with or just enjoying knowing. It truly brings me joy to make these connections.
Over the years, I have put together an Expert Network for the benefit of my own coaching
clients. It delights me to help my clients access the knowledge, tools and resources that they
need for both their business and personal growth.
This book is a natural extension of the expert network I have been a part of for over 18 years.
It is a compilation of brilliance from just some of the experts in my network. I hope you find some valuable nuggets of information here and are inspired by this collection.
To your ongoing success!
Namaste~
