Lindsey Kelly-.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Lindsey was first introduced to CrossFit in the Fall of 2010 by a co-worker
while living in Tucson, AZ. After completing four years of collegiate swimming at
an elite level, Lindsey was looking for a competitive, performance-based fitness
program to fill the void of competition and teamwork, and to aid in maintaining the
fitness she had acquired as a Division I swimmer.

Beginning with her freshman year at Lake Forest HS Lindsey’s team
placed in the IL State top three, placing 3rd, 2nd, and 1st for the first time
in school history with Lindsey contributing multiple state champion and All-
American honors, as part of a team whose Olympian coach promoted individual
growth that contributed and sacrificed for a team result. In addition, summer
coaching age group club swim teams partly inspired her to pursue a teaching
degree.
As a HS senior she was recruited to swim as a sprinter from one coast to another
but the University of Arizona seemed to be the best fit considering the head
coach fostered individual visions as well as a collaborative team vision.
Her collegiate career resulted in not only 3 personal national
championships, 3 broken American and NCAA records, but also a team, for
the first time in school history, placing 3rd, 2nd, and NCAA champions during
her four year involvement.
Lindsey maintained her passion for swimming by coaching with
dedication, passion, and responsibility, the renowned FORD Aquatics club
team while simultaneously pursuing her Elementary Education degree. Upon
graduating Lindsey was encouraged to train as a 2012 Olympic caliber Triathlete.
She chose not to proceed directly into a classroom due to the intense discipline
and commitment required for both paths, but soon found her true passion in
CrossFit. She continues as a committed, disciplined, and responsible individual
sharing the blessings she has historically chosen to nurture in her life while
helping other to strive for excellence. Lindsey continues to have a passion for
swimming, education and improving all around fitness and strongly believes
in the CrossFit system. She is looking forward to continuing her knowledge of
fitness and nutrition to thoroughly educate adults and children on the benefits of
CrossFit.

Stefan Brabeck-

Stefan was introduced to CrossFit by Carlos Montoya after college. He was looking for a performance based athletic fitness routine with a team atmosphere. CrossFit’s ability to foster a competitive learning environment keeps him motivated and improving instead of just going through the motions. He sees it as a perfect way to continue improving the fitness that he developed as a Division I rower.

In college he rowed in the Cornell University Lightweight Varsity Eight. He won two International Rowing Association National Championships, an Eastern Athletic Rowing Association Conference Championship, and earned two trips to compete in the Henley Royal Regatta in England, where he finished second. His coach, Todd Kennett, was recognized as the EARC Lightweight Coach of the Year while he was there and most recently coached the Cornell Heavyweight Varsity Eight to a third place finish in the nation, earning him the title of EARC Coach of the Year as well as University Men’s Coach of the Year. Kennett emphasizes a technical approach to the rowing stroke that bears many similarities to the Olympic lifts which CrossFit employs.

Since college, Stefan has implemented what he learned from Kennett in coaching the Loyola Academy Freshman Eight to a fourth place finish in the nation. He continues to have a passion for teaching the rowing stroke and for improving his own all around fitness through the CrossFit system. He utilizes a hands on teaching approach that focuses on providing constant feedback through his own coaching as well as video. He is looking forward to continuing his CrossFit education while helping fellow CrossFitters to understand what it takes to perform at a high level on the rowing machine.
