Julie Foucher: Medical Training

It's three weeks before the 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games Regionals begin, and Julie Foucher is dividing her time between medical school and the gym.
She trains in the morning, focuses on school during the day and then trains again in the evening.
And since her last time competing in the Games, in 2012, Foucher has been improving her gymnastics technique by working with two gymnasts: Mike Canales, formerly of Ohio State University, and his spouse, 1996 Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu.
"One of the areas that we thought we could improve upon is getting a little bit more of that killer instinct in Julie because she's just a kind, compassionate person, and so we wanted to make sure she could get that 'smell-blood mentality,'" Canales says.
Foucher, 25, did not compete last year because of medical school. In 2012, she placed second at the Games.
"She has all the goods, and our guidance in the gymnastics portion is what's gonna-hopefully-help her put all the little pieces of the puzzle even more together and get her stronger to be atop that podium," Moceanu says.
Foucher explains she will begin training to be a doctor full time after 2015.
"Right now, when it's like three weeks before Regionals and I'm really beat up and I'm, like, sick of being in the gym all day, you realize how good you feel and how good it feels to be, like, the fittest you've ever been," she says.
Foucher will compete at the Central East Regional from May 16 to 18. Watch it at Games.CrossFit.com.

She's an inspiration to all of us student crossfitters. Julie you are incredible.

[@matthewshaver6007]

Nice Work Julie. I work in Cleveland and I pass C-Town Crossfit all the time. Kinda cool to see such a successful person coming out of Cleveland.

[@eliamorgan8908]

[@billjohnson2081]

I think I'm in love.

[@johnateen1]

my favorite cross fit girl!!

[@iamabean]

She must have a very strong passion for both cross fit and study. Otherwise she will choose one and stop doing the other. Respect

[@Zcavaricci23]

Great job Julie!!!

[@tracteon]

I see a very lonely individual ... But dedicated focused . I hope you success and I wish you achieve all your goals and have fun in your journey to those goals.

[@92082070766]

eres hermosa un saludote para ty julie

[@ryanvankirk]

A N A V A R

[@taoist32]

When she starts medical school full time in 2015, she's going to lose all that muscle, fitness, and health she's had for years.

[@taoist32]

Says just about everyone who's ever gone through medical school and still tried to have a life outside of it.

[@taoist32]

That's exactly what I meant, tombw.

[@brosephiroth]

she is in like her third year right now.

[@phillipsimpson2549]

Medical school does not have to consume your life, not even close. It's a myth that too many med students buy into and try to uphold. You can easily have lots of time to do what you want, including staying in world class shape, if you budget your study time well.

[@jackhole91]

when you're crazy about working out, you find a way to get it in. casual gym goers will never understand.

[@evillink1]

Smart, fit AND pretty? Oh boy!

[@92082070766]

[@pepperj]

I'm concerned. I'm watching this video and started to develop a 4 inch lump in my pants. I hope I'm ok

[@ecahatch]

so lean. damn.

[@MegaEye2eye]

Amazing body.

[@EddieMorales19]

I love muscular woman!

[@Lunokim85]

I think, she is hottest female crossfiter.

[@peralez2383]

Beautiful, but built like a linebacker

[@383backinblack]

Julie is very small, if you were standing next to her in person in street clothes, you'd never know she was stronger than most men. It's more fair to say she's built like a defensive back.

[@delunadenny7084]

Way too hot

[@dinysanchez]

My Fav!! :D

[@edgarchavez9037]

hot, smart, fit and motivated... what else can you ask for... can she bake? haha jk.. but really. Very cool!

[@MajorDrinkins]

Perfect woman? I think.. YES!!

[@JayMontgomery]

I worked at Cleveland Clinic for three years and my wife still works at the Lorain Campus. I hope I see Julie there sometime. Sorry honey but she is hot! Ouch!

[@ericroman2]

Mike Koslap made a hell of a video

[@Andy97906]

Every time I see her makin those faces and here that music it makes me tear up.. I'm a grown man.. and look at those striations in here shoulders.. shes such an attractive girl with so much determination in her..

[@dessouky]

Beautiful face

[@Nwerff]

[@valentino2137]

Your inspiring. I don't care what place you get, just to watch you compete is enough. The return will be GLORIOUS!!!

[@tlawrenceRL]

She is yoked!!

[@megancarter5114]

That was incredibly inspirational. I teared up and got chills more than once. What a sweetheart she is. And so hard-working in every aspect of her life.

[@92082070766]

[@MrSeanSilk]

Marry me!

[@toggibson]

Manly

[@peterbl11]

Smart and beautiful.

[@kscolesaccount]

Wishing her all the best!

[@jrockjr70]

Angry birds moves

[@powerhitter]

After she wins this year, that's right I'm already calling julie to win. I think It will change her outlook, (in a good way) she's going to want to compete for more than just the next 2 years, especially when the sponsors start rolling in & everybody will see how much of a positive representative she'd be for their company. I honestly think she'd be able to juggle the duties of med school & crossfit just fine. Not saying it would be easy, but a lot easier than most think. Money talks, & the crossfit prize money is growing year by year. Not many people can just walk away from competing when the purse is worth it. & they have a love for competing.

[@lovelygift9415]

There is no way she'd be able to do both. It's impossible. Most of the time you're in lecture then you go home and you need to study what you learned in lecture and what you're going to learn the next day, which you don't have time for as it is.

[@MegaEye2eye]

Amazing body.

[@mrcollegevlogs8512]

Inspirational!

[@lueisadude]

She's a beast!!

[@YKRAINALEX]

BEAST!
