Your ego has cursed you. Break the spell in three steps.
"There is a compelling tendency among novices … to quickly move past the fundamentals." —Greg Glassman, CrossFit Founder and CEO
Read that quote twice. Maybe three times.
Now admit that you—yes, you—are afflicted by the novice's curse.
Far more powerful than the Madden Curse combined with the Curse of the Hope Diamond, the novice's curse is utterly indiscriminate: It affects 99 percent of people who do anything.
Luke Skywalker succumbed when he brushed off the last of his training and went to fight Vader. Your partner bowed to the curse when he or she tried to assemble the new barbecue without reading the instructions. Your kids got a taste when they fired up "Guitar Hero III" and tried to play "Through the Fire and Flames" on expert mode before they mastered easy mode.
You're burdened by the curse when you squat.
