Q

How do “swim coaches” and “life guards” relate to cross fit and doctors?

A

Doctors are like lifeguards; CrossFit trainers are like swim coaches.

When you are drowning, you do not need a swim coach. You needed one, and you did not get one. What you need is a lifeguard. We will teach people how to swim, and when
they do not pay attention, and they go under, the doctors take care of it.
