how close they were to success when they gave up.

Handstands are a very functional aspect of training and should be introduced early on. Pressing strength says nothing about balance. Comfort in a inverted position only develops by being inverted.

The fisher who draws in his net too soon, Won't have any fish to sell;
The child who shuts up his book too soon, Won't learn any lessons well.
If you would have your learning stay, Be patient-don't learn too fast;
The man who travels a mile each day, May get round the world at last.

Nicole Holstrom of CrossFit Central wrote this article about Jeremy Thiel's struggle with a wheat allergy.
Over seven years ago, Jeremy Thiel, owner and CoFounder of CrossFit Central, found himself consistently falling asleep directly after meals. Though he was an athlete and very active, Jeremy was battling an intense state of lethargy. In college he was unable to stay awake in class, his legs often felt heavy, and after meals he would become extremely nauseous. The battle between his body and mind disrupted his daily tasks. Jeremy would run fitness camps in the morning, eat lunch after training, and would then fall asleep for a couple of hours. For an active, seemingly healthy person this can be devastating. The inability to stay focused in class, falling asleep uncontrollably, and not having a source to understand what could be wrong with him lead to frustration and signs of depression. Jeremy visited several doctors over the course of a few years who could not find anything wrong with him. He endured many tests and even CAT scans to no avail. Continue Reading Here.Enlarge image
