Watch Nicole Christensen Coach a CrossFit Class

One of the best ways to grow as a coach is to watch other coaches and analyze what they do throughout each section of a class.
We can then incorporate what they do effectively into our own coaching. Ask any high-level coach what most helped them to develop and they will likely say they learned from watching others, asking questions, and being open to feedback.
Recently, Nicole Christensen (CF-L4) traveled to Ute CrossFit to be a guest coach, and our cameras were there to capture the action. Follow along in this video as she coaches a class from start to finish.
The workout:
21-15-9 reps for time of:
Strict handstand push-ups
Front squats
Box jumps
♂️95 lb, 20-inch box
♂️135 lb, 24-inch box
Chapters:
0:00-1:51 - Workout explanation
1:51-12:54 - General warm-up
12:55-24:13 - Front squat specific warm-up
24:14-34:40 - Handstand push-up specific warm-up

It’s actually really nice to see the average Crossfit class with the regular CrossFitters rather than the competitors and the highly advanced athletes.

Thank you HQ! I've been coaching at my affiliate for a few years and this is actually useful content posted by the media team for affiliates. In fact, the content posted during the last year or so has been a good mix of focus on education, highlighting everyday CF Athletes and Games coverage. We are getting back into form on the media side of things. Keep it up! :-)

This was excellent! Looks easy😊Yet it is sooo hard to coach a group and keep everything in synch. She was awesome coaching individual needs correcting the Overachievers and Underachievers ! This is what all affiliate classes should look like! And surprisingly she is at an hour 😮. Super impressive.

One thing that could also be really valuable is a AAR (after action review) at the end of the video with her evaluator. So they we can review what was supposed to happen, what happened, what went well, and what could be improved. Nicole is a master at her craft but I'm sure she's always looking for improvement and doing a review with us will help us as well learn as she would. I know it would be a long video but it's not like this isn't what we need to be doing in out affiliates.

Some key coaching techniques from the L2 course seen there. With a careful eye you can see specific things she's doing in just the circle of squats. The L1 is great, but the L2 is so much better for the coaches.

Instruction is rock solid but session very much feels like a level 1 / 2 seminar workout - definitely doesn't have regular coach that knows the clients vibes.

@ballagh 3 ай бұрын

Completely agree, I was assuming she was a visiting coach but it’s almost too much attention per client. I’m missing the 3 word prompts where the coach knows just what reminders a regular needs.

@mattfletcher7739 2 ай бұрын

Without knowing the relationship in the gym between this coach and athletes, tough to comment, but this does not appear to be an environment with much energy or members having the best hour in their day, possibly due to all the cameras. I would love to see a class being coached where at least some of the athletes have injuries and or mobility challenges that see the coach needing to improvise more movements. Compared to a general Population class, almost no one in this class needed movement modifications, sure scaling was done due to skill and strength levels, but no busted knees or shoulders in play, which in real life we deal with every day.

@castrodc12 3 ай бұрын

This is awesome instruction but I'm not sure if this workout is worth the money that these members are paying a monthly fee for....I know this is just one day but gyms/coaches need to maximize the 60 minutes to best prepare their members for GPP.. I'm not sure if this makes sense but it's my opinion.

@TacticallyFitOfficial 3 ай бұрын

If that’s the case I’d highly recommend going back through the Level 1 again. Keep CrossFit what it’s meant to be and the results will come. Be impressed by intensity not volume.

@castrodc12 3 ай бұрын

@@TacticallyFitOfficial I've been doing CrossFit since 2008 and I know that a 7-12 minute workout will not do it. Even a 2-20 minute workout will not do it. Most CrossFit gyms recognize this as well. Again this is excellent instruction but I don't know if this is excellent fitness for what clients/athletes are paying/what they desire/and GPP. I'm not bashing CrossFit I love CrossFit but I recognize that a 12 minute workout in a 60 minute session is not great. Again I'm not familiar with this gym and it's programming.

@SuperKMao 3 ай бұрын

How were you able to come to this conclusion without knowing the context of all the workouts that were programmed during that week or within the month's cycle? The goal of a GPP program is not to crush your members every single day - it's to give them what they need, not what they want. This is a great workout.
