There's nothing that needs to be said besides watch the video and read a sampling of comments below....
My 7 yo daughter, who does CossFit Kids, watched the video with me and said, "I hope I can be like Kallista one day!" I smiled, hugged her, and said, "I hope so too, honey, I hope so too!" As the father of 3 daughters, I could learn a lot from Kallista's parents, who apparently have 4, and obviously are doing something right!!

That video was incredible. I'm sitting here in tears right now. That kid is my hero.

As soon as I can get the tears out of my eyes I'm going to show that video of Kallista to my daughters. Wow!
Great work, awe inspiring heart.

that video brought tears to my eyes. i guess because it was a girl trying to do something great and it made me think of what i want for my own daughter.

Kallista, you are a star! I don't think I've ever been as moved emotionally from watching a vid. I, too, had tears rolling down my cheeks. Truly inspirational.

Kallista-
Darling girl, you are a delight to my life. Thank you for your amazing inspiration. I never ever cry, and can hardly even flinch, no matter what goes down. You shook something out my soul, and had me in tears and joy as I watched you. I was mesmerized by your soul, as it battled against the bar and imposed your unbreakable will over it.
