Kaycie Cartwright
CrossFit Level 1//Assistant Volleyball Coach at DBU//Masters of Arts in Teaching//Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice and Psychology/ WAG Certified Nutrition Coach
I graduated from Dallas Baptist University where I played, and now coach, volleyball. I have been around sports my entire life and love the competitiveness, athleticism, and discipline that is required to be successful in sports. I love CrossFit because it also requires all of those traits as well, along with an amazing community. It allows me to feel like an athlete again while seeing others do things that they thought they could never do. It tests you mentally and physically and I love how it is literally for anyone and everyone. Outside of the gym I love to play the piano, find new places to eat, play literally any type of board game or backyard game, play with my sweet puppy, hangout with my family, and pretty much anything outdoors (hiking, swimming, biking, camping, etc).
Favorite Workout: DT or Grace
Favorite Drink: Cherry Limeade Slushy from Sonic
Preferred Training Music: Rock or Worship (I love me some Jesus)

Monika Connell
CrossFit Level 1/ CrossFit Level 2/ CrossFit Kids
I found CrossFit in 2017 while living overseas. I was 80lbs heavier and had never set foot in a CrossFit gym when I walked through the doors. The community welcomed me in with open arms exactly where I was on my fitness level and I have been coming back ever since. I am Level 1 and Level 2 certified, but I think my favorite certification is in CrossFit Kids! I have an associate degree in early childhood education and have a passion for teaching kids and teens how to empower their lives through movement. My favorite things about CrossFit are the community support and that it can be tailored to fit anyone, of any age, at any point in their life. My favorite thing about coaching is the ability to assist and encourage people on their fitness journey and to help them realize that their biggest obstacles are just waiting to be their biggest success story. Outside the gym I work in digital marketing, spend as much time as possible with my two daughter and love to do any activity outdoors. The most valuable thing CrossFit has taught me is that motivation comes and goes but it is self-discipline that carries you to the finish line.
