The Affiliate Cup isn't what it once was and let's be honest, it never will be again. "Super Teams" have taken over the team competition, the Rich Froning Dynasty is dead, and the excitement of the team competition hasn't been the same since 2017. So what do we do? Well, we do what we do best. WE FIX IT! Chase and Bill sit down and map out an entirely new team competition system to now only bring back the fans of the Teams but the excitement of a TRUE team competition.

We are down to our final weekend of Semifinals. Sean, Tommy, Lauren and Brian Friend break down the men, women and team divisions ahead of the start of competition.  Will BKG make it 10-straight?  Can anyone challenge Laura Horvath?  Does Oslo Navy Blue have what it takes to compete for the Affiliate Cup?  The crew addresses these questions and more as we get set to send 11 more men, 11 more women and 10 more teams to the CrossFit Games.

“We've got one goal in mind.” — Tim Paulson Andrea Nisler, Taylor Williamson, and Tim Paulson — three of the four members of CrossFit East Nashville PRVN — join the show to chat with host Adrian Conway about their pursuit for the 2023 Affiliate Cup. Team PRVN — Nisler, Williamson, Paulson, and Tola Morakinyo — came together for the 2023 season. While all of the members have years of CrossFit Games experience, this is Paulson's first season as a team competitor. Nisler and Williamson have previously won the Affiliate Cup with four-time Fittest Man on Earth Rich Froning and Morakinyo is a four-time Games team athlete, most recently competing with two-time Fittest Woman on Earth Annie Thorisdottir and CrossFit Reykjavik at the 2022 Games. In today's episode, the crew tells the story of how the team came together. Paulson explains why he couldn't pass on the opportunity despite feeling like he hasn't hit his potential as an individual athlete and the group sheds insight on how they have been preparing for the season to execute their goal of winning the CrossFit Games. The group also gets candid about the demands of being competitive athletes, and finding and creating balance in their personal lives. Nisler and Paulson explain their decision to make 2023 their final competitive season, and Williamson opens up about the trade-offs and sacrifices she has made over the years as a student and competitor. Tune in to hear the team's opinions on the 2023 season tests, the evolution of team competition in CrossFit, and how they stay focused to beat their competition. This episode was recorded prior to the 2023 North America East Semifinal. CrossFit East Nashville PRVN won the competition with three first-place finishes.

“Justin is just a very unique individual. Early on, I think it was hard to put your finger on … what's possible for this guy, but I am really, really, really excited to find out. We've had the opportunity to coach a lot of athletes over the years in our affiliates, and the rate at which Justin could learn and implement things and improve is just something I have never seen before.” Owner of CrossFit Fort Vancouver and CrossFit Level 3 Trainer Adam Neiffer sits down with host Adrian Conway to share his wisdom and experience as a former competitive athlete, an affiliate owner, and coach to two-time Fittest Man on Earth Justin Medeiros. Neiffer was introduced to CrossFit by his brother who came across the sport online. Having grown up playing sports, including football, Neiffer thought he was “pretty fit,” but was quickly humbled after taking on his first CrossFit workout Angie. Neiffer went on to be a 10-time Games team competitor with CrossFit Fort Vancouver — a 14-year-old affiliate — and won the Affiliate Cup in 2010. In 2019, he began working closely with Medeiros, coaching him to his Games debut in 2020 and through his back-to-back championship seasons (2021-2022). In today's episode, Neiffer opens up about his personal CrossFit journey — competing as an athlete, becoming a business owner, and mentoring coaches and athletes at his affiliate. Pulling from his experience, he explains how he's created a “happy, hungry, awesome” environment at CrossFit Fort Vancouver to elicit a positive change for coaches and members of the community. He also shares what makes working with two-time Games champion Medeiros so special. Tune in to today's enlightening episode to learn more from Neiffer's experiences in the sport, how and why he fell in love with CrossFit, and how CrossFit has been influential in other parts of his life, especially as a wildland firefighter.

Exposed to sports at a young age, Smith's CrossFit beginnings started when he was 16 years old. He watched CrossFit videos online, mixed-and-matched his programming from different sources to see what worked best, and learned from his successes and failures, which ultimately shaped him to be a better athlete, coach, and affiliate owner. Most recently, Smith has worked closely with seven-time Hungary National Champion and multi-year Games podium finisher Horvath as her coach and explains that they often act like training partners, pushing each other to be the best version of themselves. Smith is an 11-time Games athlete, competing consecutively from 2009-2019.

“I think with the team side, there are some unique things to consider. … A combination of men and women, how they work together, how they communicate, the way they're training leading up to competition, how they were able to build their individual fitness all year long. … There are so many more variables with teams than there are with individuals.” — Adrian ConwayMulti-year Affiliate Cup champion Adrian Conway joins host Chase Ingraham on the podcast to talk about team competition and what it's going to take to beat Affiliate Cup reigning champion CrossFit Mayhem at the CrossFit Games.Having captained a CrossFit Games affiliate to victory against Mayhem and also having experience as an individual competitor, Conway shares his knowledge and experiences competing in both divisions.

Plus, the floorplans for the quarterfinals workouts are out, so it's time to speculate about what the tests will be.

“It's really important that we highlight how important the affiliate is to everything we do, and that should transcend whether that's having the average person show up and have a life-changing experience due to the coaching that they're going to receive all the way down to how it reflects in the competition.” —Adrian BozmanHost Chase Ingraham and CrossFit Competition Director Adrian Bozman outline the 2022 Games season for athletes preparing for the Affiliate Cup competition at the 2022 Games Finals. To compete in the Affiliate Cup, athletes must first register for the Open as an individual. A member of the affiliate — who is then designated as the team captain — will then register the affiliate team. The team captain can add members to the team and/or members can join the team themselves. After the Open, the top 25% of teams from each continental region with a minimum of 50 teams will advance to the Quarterfinals. The top 80 teams in North America, 40 teams in Europe, and 20 teams in Africa, South America, Asia, and Oceania will advance to Semifinals. The top one to five teams, depending on the Semifinal, will advance to the CrossFit Games Finals in Madison. In this episode, Bozman gives an in-depth breakdown of which athletes are eligible to compete in the Affiliate Cup, what steps they and their teammates need to take to advance, and how teams will submit scores. Bozman also confirms that team athletes can expect to see variations in workouts across divisions and more of an emphasis on teamsmanship during the Quarterfinals stage.

This week’s conversation is with Rich Froning Jr., dubbed the Fittest Man in History after winning four back-to-back individual CrossFit Games championships (2011-2014).He also won the worldwide Open for three consecutive years (2012-2014), and when he retired from individual competition after the 2014 season, he captained his affiliate’s team, CrossFit Mayhem Freedom, to two back-to-back Affiliate Cup championships in 2015 and 2016.When I mentioned to a couple of my friends that Rich was coming on, they raised their eyebrows and nodded, "That’s going to be a great one.”Rich’s point of view comes from being recognized as the best in the world at his craft.It’s clear Rich understands winning – and the costs associated with it.In Rich’s words: “To be the best in the world at anything, you’re not balanced. You can’t be balanced.”So if you knew that ahead of time, would you still pursue it? It’s a great question and why I love these conversations so much.They really make you think about who you are and what you value most – at least they do for me.This episode is brought to you by WHOOP and Athletic Greens.WHOOP: Starting today you can join WHOOP for $30 a month, six month minimum to begin.
