My name is John Roan. I am a high school teacher and wrestling coach. I started CrossFit in August of 2016. I was instantly in love. CrossFit appeals to my competitive nature. It also gives me an oppurtunity to improve my health while having fun competing. I used to spend hours at the globo-gyms trying to improve my bench, or make my arms bigger. Of course I was never very successful at doing either. It was easy to become frustrated and just quit working out. This is nothing like that. The community and the support you receive is incredible. From the minute you walk into the box you feel welcome. I have been a competitive athlete for a majority of my life. In high school I wrestled, played football, and played baseball. I then went to college where I competed in wrestling and baseball. The reason I am competing in the open is for that, the competition. I want to test what I have been doing for the past 6 months. I want to find out how far I have come, as well as how far I need to go. I don't have any delusions that I can compete in the games, however, isn't that the ultimate goal. That is something I will strive towards, and that is the standard I will measure myself by. I look forward to this challenge.
