Winner of the Evolutio 2016 Annual Coaches Competition
On a typical vulnerable spring day in November 2013, we first came up with the idea of searching for Melbourne's best CrossFit coach. So we fluttered the concept past you, our readers and supporters to see if you would want to nominate someone for going above and beyond their call of duty.
Since then, we've had over 200 nominations and 70 coaches from Melbourne nominated.
Our marking category is varied, but we take into consideration knowledge, interaction, care, inspiration, professionalism and injury prevention.
Afterall, we've been here as physiotherapists in Melbourne working with many CrossFit athletes for 4 years now, we've helped hundreds of athletes, return to training. So we want to select a coach who works like us, and who cares for people, above and beyond their expectations.
This year 22 senational coaches across Melbourne were nominated. To those who submitted. Thankyou for taking the time out to put forward your coach. They might never know it was you, but you've done a great service.
