Mike Livergood, Level 1 Crossfit Certified

My name is Mike Livergood I have been the head athletic trainer at Bellevue University since 1991 and I am a Certified Strength and Condition Specialist (CSCS).
In January of 2008 I was on the phone with my nephew listening to his story about a new type of training that he was doing in the USMC and he knew I would be interested. He said "you gotta check out this website www.crossfit.com this is the stuff they are making us do I think you will like it!"
After playing around with the WOD's for about a month I was hooked on this program that was improving my fitness in ways I had previously only dreamed of.

I have been around athletics for most of my life and understand what it takes to develop championship athletes, and I feel that CrossFit will bring a new level of development to those athletes that I work with daily. CrossFit's design to used varied workouts of full functional movements at a high level of intensity fits our athletes need to be prepared for anything.
I use myself as an example to the athetes I train that their athletic goals are obtainable, CrossFit has improved not only my physical strength but also my mental strength. CrossFit has allowed me another avenue to help people make themselves better and I welcome you to join BU CrossFit so you can have the benefits CrossFit has given me!
