When the coaches came together to decide on the Athlete of the Month for July 2021, there was one name that kept coming up. The reason she kept coming up, because her effort in everything she does is impressive. She thrives in cardio and crushes burpees. However, she also attacks weights and constantly tries to get better. Recently, when she thought she was hitting a roadblock with her lifting, she started doing private sessions with a coach to get one-on-one attention. She learned about her limitations and worked with that coach to come up with a plan to overcome those limitations. She exhibits humility and a mindset dedicated to overcoming adversity. The Athlete of the Month for July 2021 is:
