Intimidation

I've heard about it a lot over the years and have experienced it myself when starting crossfit a while back.  And that is this idea of intimidation, or being intimidated to start or take a crossfit class.  One place this fear could stem from is the thought that everyone else is going to know the movements and I'm going to be the one lost up shits creek.  A helpful perspective to have especially when starting crossfit, is that we are all on this path of learning these movements, some people are just further down the road then others.  It may appear to a newbie that they are the only ones who don't have the movements "down," while everyone else seems to be flowing just fine, but the truth of the matter is, especially when looking at a movement like the snatch, even the most experienced crossfitters are still working on their craft, always trying to refine, improve, and progress their technique.  Over the years the refinement tends to be more fine-tuning, compared to a newbie who may simply be working on basic jumping an landing drills. 
The important thing to remember is It doesn't matter how far down the path you are, it just matters that you are on the path.
