Dive into Sarah Bee’s mindset
Eddie: What does confidence mean to you?
Sarah: Confidence to me means staying calm, no matter what is being thrown at you.
And I can stay calm because I’ve done the work. I’ve trained, prepared, and earned the right to trust myself when it matters most.
Trusting myself is so important because it allows me to stop outsourcing validation and to connect with my potential and intuition.
Eddie: What’s the biggest lesson from the last year of training?
Sarah: The law of invisible progress: The rewards of today’s effort will be seen in a season that is not yet reached. Beneath the surface, actions are stacking up quietly, relentlessly, invisibly.
And then invisible becomes undeniable.
Eddie: Best part of being an Eddiesmethod athlete?
Sarah:Having someone by your side, walking this path with you, they are trying to understand you as a person and as an athlete. Eddie doesn’t just programme; he doesn’t just tell us to trust the process. He teaches us to trust the process. Eddie teaches the game so well that his athletes can lead it and play it.
Eddie: When you have a bad day, you,
Sarah:Do it anyway… and have a Snickers. Snickers makes everything better.
Eddie: When you don’t want to train, you
Sarah: Do it anyway. And make sure your emotions are not in the way of your goals and dreams. Emotions are temporary. Feel them, acknowledge them, but don’t act solely based on them.
Eddie: How important is a Coach in an athlete’s development?
Sarah: A coach plays a huge role in an athlete’s development. They don’t just provide programming; they guide mindset, help you see your potential, and hold you accountable when it matters most. A good coach understands when to push you and when to pull back, and that balance can make all the difference in long-term progress. I might be on the competition floor alone, but this is truly a team effort.
Eddie: What does it mean, no plan B to you?
Sarah: It means going all in. I don’t like having to have a Plan B. To me, a fallback plan is a mental “safety net” that can lead to less effort and ultimately prevent me from achieving what I want.
I made a full commitment to going to the CrossFit Games, and no matter what it takes, I will do the work. If you love what you do, your Plan A is all you need.
Eddie: Five years went by, and you never missed a training session. How do you manage to stay consistent?
Sarah: Two straightforward things: No Plan B and Love.
Fall in love with the daily grind, not what comes from it and being consistent is actually very easy. Love is the base of it all.
The road to success and the road to failure are the same. The only difference is at what point you get off the road. So, if you care deeply about something, do not stop. Don’t let anything stop you. Don’t just make it work, make it count. All of it, the “good” and “bad”, makes it all count, love it all. Disappear, go all in, and don’t have a plan B.
