Best Hour of Their Day | Podcast

Whiteboard briefs are vital in CrossFit classes as they set the tone and direction for the entire session, serving as a critical communication tool for Coaches. They provide an opportunity to clearly outline the day's workout, emphasize the intended stimulus, and discuss scaling options, ensuring that each participant understands the goals and expectations. Effective briefs also enhance safety by preemptively addressing potential issues and offering tailored advice to meet individual fitness levels. They also establish a platform for Coaches to build rapport and foster a sense of community and engagement within the class. By efficiently delivering essential information, whiteboard briefs not only optimize the class experience but also reinforce the Coach's role as a knowledgeable and approachable leader.
