This is my favorite piece by Maya thus far. One of the many things that inspires me about Maya is her commitment to continually grow and learn not only as an athlete but as a coach. I am very fortunate to be a member of the Ice Chamber KB Team and it has been an extraordinary experience to work with Maya and Steve. What is so unique about Maya and Steve is that they are dedicated to coaching the entire athlete i.e. body and mind. It is just as important to them that I be as happy and well in mind as my body is strong and healthy. As an athlete who has participated in a variety of sports under various coaches this commitment to training happy balanced athletes has been unique and transforming for me. I feel very lucky to be part of such an amazing team!

Maya, Steve, and the crew at the Ice chamber are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. I have been so fortunate to cross paths with them. I wear the Ice Chamber shirt she gave me all the time. Heidi gave me a pair of shorts because I had lent her one of mine at the Vegas competition. They didn’t know that you were supposed to wear shorts and all she had was boxers. I wear those shorts all the time also!

Keep up the good work Maya!

hi maya,
you will get your gold as a lifter and as a coach. i remember meeting you for the first time and i just knew you would go far. flash forward to today and your running one of the finest kettlebell programs in the nation and have built a first rate lifting team. when we look back in time, your facility, the ice chamber, will be seen as one of the foundation blocks of kettlebell sport and kettlebell training in the united states. my friend, i salute you.
sincerely,
kevin jodrey, akc master coach

Great post, Maya! Very inspiring. It must have been tough in Denver because of the altitude. Good to hear you learned some great things there and when you came home. Keep up the good work.
