Coach Sam At The World Stage

When Sam qualified for the age-group CrossFit Games, it wasn’t just a personal milestone — it was a proud moment for all of us at Horsham CrossFit. What followed was a journey filled with grit, growth, and the kind of energy that only the global CrossFit community can offer.

Touchdown in the States

We arrived in the US buzzing — part excitement, part nerves, and a whole lot of pride. The competition venue was massive, the atmosphere electric, and the field of athletes? Absolutely stacked. But from the minute Sam stepped in, she carried herself like she belonged there — calm, focused, and ready to get after it.

Game Face On

The workouts? Savage. The standard? Ruthless. But Sam rose to every challenge with the same determination we see from her every week in the box. Whether it was barbell cycling, monostructural tests, or gymnastics under fatigue, she dug deep, moved well, and gave everything.

Every event was a battle — with the clock, with the movements, and sometimes with the unexpected (classic CrossFit). But Sam showed up with heart and hustle, holding her own amongst the world’s best in her category.

Moments That Mattered

• Watching Sam absolutely crush a movement she’d been fine-tuning for months — the celebration after was pure gold.

• Mid-comp chaos and adrenaline, but Sam kept her cool and stuck to the plan.

• The support crew (yes, we were loud — and proud) made sure everyone knew Horsham CrossFit was in the building.

• Post-event food missions were an adventure in themselves. Recovery never tasted so good.

Lessons We All Took Home

• Mindset matters – Sam stayed composed, even under pressure. That’s what separates a good athlete from a great one.

• You’re only as strong as your community – and we saw just how powerful ours is, from the messages sent from home to the cheers ringside.

• Adapt and overcome – travel fatigue, time zones, nerves… nothing stopped her.

• The fire doesn’t go out – if anything, it’s burning hotter. Sam’s already got her eyes on the next one.

Coming Home Stronger

Back at the box, the energy’s been different. Everyone’s inspired. People are asking more questions, pushing harder, and setting new goals. Sam’s performance didn’t just make waves in the US — it sent ripples right through Horsham.

Her story is a reminder that these opportunities don’t come from luck. They come from showing up consistently, training smart, and staying hungry.
