Coach Finalist: Krista Everson

Box: CrossFit Toronto (Ontario)

Nominated By: Pamela Thistle

Nomination Testimonial: “I nominate my Coach Krista Everson. Why? Because from the very first time I stepped into the CFTO box she was welcoming and supportive. Krista has helped me overcome many obstacles inside the box and out, and not once has she made me feel like there was anything I couldn’t do. You see, I am hearing impaired and legally blind. Most of my life I’ve felt like I didn’t belong because of my disabilities and I believed there were many things I couldn’t do. Krista’s coaching helped change that.  When I started CrossFit I didn’t feel comfortable doing a lot of the movements (Hello Olympic lifting) because I couldn’t see enough to learn the correct form. Krista adapted my training and spent time with me, training to go by feel rather than sight. She was patient, but tough.  With her support, I am now confident with the Oly lifts.  So much so, that I am competing in my first CrossFit competition this month!  Over the past year I’ve shared with Krista some of my goals like completing a Tough Mudder and a GoRuck, to which Krista replied “you can totally do that!” (while from others all I got were raised eyebrows). Krista has not only helped me become a better athlete, she pushed me to go farther than I ever thought I could and she gave me the confidence that I can do anything I put my mind too.  Best. CrossFit Coach. Ever.”
