Danielle Sidell to take Over

I was thrilled to see CrossFitGames wrote a whole article completely on Danielle. After what happened last year and what she has done since, she deserves every word typed and displayed.
I have been following Sidell from the beginning and to hear about her disqualification, made my heart break for her. I literally wished I could have hugged her and been there to simply say "you are my inspiration and always have been." Danielle having a military background pulled on her combat boots, turned that incident into drive and dedication.
I believe she will more than redeem herself on 14.1; I hope she blows the open out of the water, kills her regionals, makes it to the games so every crossfitter will know her name.
I know she'll make it all the way, not just because of her amazing performances lately and her new PRs, but because she has the edge and focus needed to get to the games. She has the discipline which is apparent by her nutrition and lifestyle of training.
I could rave on and on but I'm sure there will be more posts to come on this amazing athlete.
Here's to you Danielle!
 May the WODs ever be in your favor
Nope cause you dont need that! You can beast through it all! haha

My Inspiration: Crossfit Athlete Danielle Sidell

Interview with CrossFit Athlete Danielle Sidell

I have been following Danielle on IG for a long time and I find her an amazing athlete and one I definitely look up to. After reading this article, I realized we started in the same boat-athletes growing up and as we are grown up, we want something more. Out of school she began bodybuilding, same as I did, because she wanted to get bigger, same as me, until her supervisor told her to attend a Crossfit workout. I was not told to do CrossFit, I found my love for it on my own with me reaching out myself to learn more. Crossfit is a "love it or hate it" sport and we haven't turned back since.
She has been doing CrossFit for about a year now and the strength she's gained within that year is astounding. I would say I started CrossFit a year ago but I didnt do 100% CrossFit, I more like incorporated it into my bodybuilding regimen. So I can't really say I have been Crossfitting for a year. I have officially say I have been Crossfitting for half a year...thats more like it. Anyways I want to have gained as much progress as Danielle did in just year. It's all about the drive and dedication so knowing how far I came and how far I can go, will keep my striving for the best. 
I have started a CrossFit program in hopes to become a better athlete, gain stregnth, and little more (a secret for now). I unfortunately have to complete my program in a globo gym (shocking I know!) but I can not afford a box at the time; Im not letting that stop me from what I truly love. I have also learned that Danielle, as well, trains in a globo gym during the week, so we're in the same boat: no Crossfit equipment! 

I hope one day I'll be able to meet Danielle Sidell and let her know she has been an influence on my path of CrossFit.
