S2E23: U18: Smashing the Competition with 2022 Fittest Teen in the UK - Ben Cole

February 15, 2023

Connor, Ben and Jeff discuss "Murph in the Garden", getting started in CrossFit, what Ben had been doing in sport and fitness prior to 2019, and how competition drives him to long term goals. Connor and Jeff talk about programming with and for Ben and what it takes for a young athlete to focus on the things they need to work on rather than just the more motivating strengths, and of course- the outcomes and rewards of that work.
