Pointing Out The Positive - Lisbeth Darsh Style 3..2..1..Go!

So yesterday I wrote this as an introduction for Pointing Out The Positive (Yesterdays Blog Post) a new series I am going to do each week.

This week I am featuring Lisbeth Darsh. Writer-Thinker-CrossFitter.  Let me say that anyone and everyone that has anything to do with CrossFit knows who she is.  I first came across Lisbeth during this past years CrossFit Games.  My love, obsession and strong desire to learn more about CrossFit have led me to follow so many people on Twitter who are key pieces in the CrossFit World and Lisbeth is one of those important key pieces.

First things first.  Lisbeth is a mom.  I often see her tweet funny things about being a mom.  I can relate to this since I am a parent too.  She is a Grad from Cal State University and also spent time in the Air Force as an Officer.  She was a Coach and Owner at her own Box which was one of the earlier CrossFit affiliates. She not only loves CrossFit, she not only writes about CrossFit, she works for CrossFit HQ.  Lisbeth does many things for CrossFit HQ. Edit writing and directing social media are just some of what she does.

I mentioned before that I became a fan of Lisbeth's during the 2012 CrossFit Games.  She was a social media machine.  Pumping out tweets and photo's like Rich Froning knocking out Muscle Ups.  I even remember her tweeting that she needed an extra account because she was taking so many pictures.  Her work during the Games was so impressive.  She was so on top of everything.  Since then I have found her website Words With Lisbeth and I have read a lot of what she has written. 

Lisbeth is someone that I look at and take notice of how happy she is with her work.  I also notice that so many other people are happy with her work as well.  She touches more than the CrossFit Community, she touches those outside of it.  She posted this a while back and it made so much sense to me. Decide Now is the title.  This hit home with me. Be a miserable sac and hate my job or change it.  So I am working on changing my job. In the meantime I'm trying not to be a miserable sac.

Working at a place that you love and doing something you love must be awesome.  She speaks of hearing cries of pleasure and pain from the awesome athletes at the HQ building.  She tells stories of doing the wod's while she works.  How fun is that!  She snaps pictures of the athletes that some of us only dream about meeting and talking to.  She hangs out with people that I consider Rock Star Hall Of Famers more than I do some of my favorite Atlanta Falcons players.  Her love for CrossFit has to make her more proud of her work and in turn make her want to work harder and have more fun doing it.

I would be willing to bet that if you asked Lisbeth directly she would tell you that she is just a normal woman, mom, employee and dog lover just like some of you but to people like me who are trying to escape a negative environment she isn't normal.  She is awesome.  Thanks Lisbeth for sharing and educating us and including us into YOUR World of CrossFit.

I have never seen Lisbeth write anything negative!  This is why I am Pointing Out The Positive about her.

Find and keep up with her (If you can) @LisbethDarsh on Twitter and Facebook
