What does it take to become the first state wrestling champion from your school in nearly 60 years? Today's guest, Francesca Gusfa @francescagusfa, joins coach David Syvertsen @davesy85 as she shares the remarkable journey that led her to make history at Ridgewood High School.Fresh off her state championship victory, 18-year-old Francesca opens up about the winding path that brought her to wrestling excellence. Unlike her brothers who started wrestling early, Francesca initially pursued gymnastics and other combat sports before fully committing to wrestling. That diverse athletic foundation gave her exceptional body awareness and movement patterns that now define her quick, powerful wrestling style.The conversation dives deep into the mental game that separates good athletes from champions. With refreshing candor, Francesca admits, "For me, the mental game is the toughest one." She details how losing last year's state championship became the fuel for her triumphant return, and how visualization practices helped her overcome performance anxiety. Her insights about pre-competition mindset and the challenge of "staying on top" reveal wisdom beyond her years.Perhaps most fascinating is Francesca's perspective on women's wrestling's rapid growth. As one of the pioneering female wrestlers at her school, she's actively working to recruit and train the next generation of girls to the sport. Her story illuminates how quickly opportunities are expanding for female wrestlers, from high school competition to collegiate programs.Whether you're a wrestler, an athlete in any sport, or someone who appreciates the psychology of high performance, Francesca's journey offers valuable lessons about resilience, discipline, and the power of mindset. Listen now to discover how this remarkable young athlete balances 6am training sessions, academic excellence, and championship aspirations while helping build the future of women's wrestling.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness

Plastic was supposed to be inert, right? I mean, it wasn't supposed to be able to cause real problems for humans, except maybe the whole issue of disposing of them. But plastics are a lot more complicated than that, and microplastics, tiny little fragments of plastic material, are apparently everywhere. And there's not as inert as we hoped. Are they messing with our hormones? Making us fat? Squashing our test levels? This topic is really just beginning to be studied, but we talk through some of the implications.  Also, CrossFit athlete Lazar Ðukić's cause of death has been revealed in the past few days and the answer may have major implications for the future of CrossFit and the Games.  Listener resources:  Report on the death of Lazar Ðukić: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCOdZ-8sdnv/?igsh=cjZ4dGs3MGpuMGQ1  Detection of microplastics in the human penis https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-024-00930-6  Microplastics in human semen.
