    Super sad to see Mike go!
    My first WOD out of elements was with Mike and he made me feel comfortable & confident that I could be part of OCCF(SDHP???!!). Great coach and you will greatly missed. Good luck Dungarees!

    Say it isn’t so! Mike, so sad to see you leaving. Even more sad to miss your last day(s)! You have been an amazing coach and so much fun to be around. I will always fondly remember you as I do my double-unders. You were there when I finally got my first one…like Christmas morning! Nothing quite like it!
    Thanks for everything and good luck in all you do!

    Coach Mike! When I first started in February, I told you my pull-up goal. You worked with me for 3 months until I finally ditched the band! Thanks for all your patience as I asked question after question those first few months… there were a lot of them! Thanks for continuing to help me become a better athlete, whether it’s in the 2k row or my very ungraceful cleans (they’re getting better!). You’ll be missed around here.

    Mike, I will miss your smiling goofy face at the gym… You have taught me so much over the past months (hell, it’s been a year now, right??)! Good luck, and I wish you all the best! Sad face…..

    You’ll be missed for sure Mike!

    Thanks for introducing me to the wonderful world of CrossFit and doing my elements with me! You’ve been awesome with helping to push me beyond the limits of pain!
    Hopefully you’ll make a few cameo appearances to make sure we’re not slacking off!

    Good luck bro!

    Mike, what can I say …. it’s been a pleasure getting to know you and becoming friends; A huge benefit having you here for coaching, encouragement and as an occasional workout partner. I will miss seeing you regularly, but know we will be keeping in touch and perhaps get in those runs we talked about last summer. Best wishes my friend.

    And, Kick Ass commercial!

  13. Mike says:

    Thanks guys!! It’s been an awesome 14 months. I have a lot of awesome memories and you are a great bunch of people no doubt. Thanks for accepting me into the box as coach in the beginning and then allowing me to push you until the very end. You made coaching there so much fun!

    If I haven’t seen you yet I will be teaching tonight as well.
    Mike
