Julie Foucher Finishes What She Started

During the last weekend of the 2015 Regionals, we watched the career of one of CrossFit’s most elite come to a skreeching hault. Julie Foucher fully tore her right achellies tendon during the box jumps in event 3 of what was supposed to be her last run at The Games. What we all witnessed next by Foucher will forever go down in CrossFit history.

“I know it’s the last time I’m going to be out there so I want to just do as much as I can” said Julie Foucher via a CrossFit interview. Before our eyes we saw “as much as I can” turn into something a little more.

With a hard walking boot on her foot, she managed to continue on with the competition. Finishing out the CrossFit Games Central Regional in 8th place overall.

Here are a few quick examples of what Julie Foucher taught us:

• Impossible is what you make it: Impossible is the voice inside of our head, not what we’re actually capable of doing.
• Heart: It’s that unteachable quality in an athlete to lay it all on the line for the sport they love. Quitting is giving up and giving up is never an option.
• Adaptability: At the drop of a dime, Foucher had to adjust her game plan. Instead of letting her injury get into her head, she remained committed to finishing what she could under the unfortunate circumstances.
• At the end of the day, it’s not the end of the world: It’s important to realize that life WILL go on and things could always be worse.
