December 2021 Athlete of the Month
Joey Gross
Coach’s Thoughts: Joey has been a joy to coach since the day he first walked in the gym. He always comes in the door with a smile and a fist bump ready for everyone. He frequently looks to coaches for feedback and puts cues to work right away. Joey shows up early and stays late to put in extra work on the after party. We love watching Joey’s attention to detail with movements, his drive to improve every day he walks in and his willingness to try new things. His attitude and consistency truly embodies the CCF motto of Happy, Hungry and Humble.
