“Built Over Time: How Long-Term Training Created Champions”

Richie Ramirez • April 6, 2025

“This Is What 9 Years of Dedication Looks Like.”

This past weekend, two of our teen athletes did something truly extraordinary.

Yaretzi earned 1st place and Vasanti placed 3rd at the State Powerlifting Championships, going head-to-head with some of the strongest and most competitive lifters across the state. But this weekend’s win wasn’t about a single moment—it was the result of over 9 years of consistent work, growth, and commitment.

These two young women walked into our facility as kids—Yaretzi at 9, and Vasanti at age 6. What started as youth training sessions turned into a lifestyle of discipline, movement, and strength. They’ve trained through elementary school, middle school, and now into high school. We’ve watched them grow—not just in strength and sport, but in resilience, confidence, and leadership.

And their talent doesn’t stop at powerlifting.
Both girls are competing in CrossFit, soccer, cross country, and basketball. They are well-rounded, capable, and unshakable in the face of challenge. This is the payoff of long-term athletic development—and we’re so proud to be a part of it.

Why does this matter?

Because in a world focused on quick fixes and short-term success, Vasanti and Yaretzi are a reminder that nothing great happens overnight. Their victories are the result of showing up, staying consistent, and learning how to push through setbacks—week after week, year after year.

Training from a young age gave them more than just a strong deadlift—it gave them:
 • A foundation in movement and injury prevention
 • The ability to compete across multiple sports
 • Mental toughness to handle pressure
 • Confidence that carries far beyond the gym

Their journey is a blueprint for what’s possible when we invest in our kids—not just for a season, but for the long run.


Final Thoughts:

To Vasanti and Yaretzi—congratulations on your state finishes. You’ve earned every bit of your success, and your story is just getting started. Your discipline, drive, and character make us proud to be your coaches and teammates.

And to every parent wondering if your child is too young to start:
This is what happens when you start early, stay consistent, and trust the process.

Fitness doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. But it does have to be intentional. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re doing a lot but not getting results… it may not be that you need more. You may just need simpler—and someone who won’t let you negotiate with yourself.

At Roswell CrossFit, we talk a lot about consistency — because it’s the quiet force behind every major transformatio n. It’s not the perfect week, the heaviest lift, or the hardest workout that changes you. It’s showing up when it’s inconvenient. It’s tracking your meals even when you “mess up.” And it’s realizing that progress isn’t built in sprints — it’s built in reps.
