CrossFit Quarterfinals are done, and the teams are finalized for Semifinals.  What does being the top seed in a Semifinal mean for CrossFit East Nashville PRVN or CrossFit Invictus?To help answer that question we take a look back to 2022 and see how top seeds like CrossFit Mayhem Freedom and CrossFit Oslo Navy Blue did in their semifinals.

Chyna Cho has done it all. She's competed at the Games numerous times as an individual, stood on top of the podium with CrossFit Mayhem Freedom, been on the Games demo team and this year -- stood on the podium as a masters athlete. Morning Chalk Up's Lauren Kalil caught up with Cho to recap her season, discuss how the master's division could potentially improve and even teased a "hypothetical Super Team."Check out the link below to get your pair of Reebok Nano X2s.https://bit.ly/3OG340z

On this episode of The Rig Report Kristen Chandler shares why she owns an affiliate in Tanzania. Poaching animals is still a huge problem in Africa and they are now using CrossFit to help the Scouts that are fighting the Poachers. CrossFit Faru's co-founder, Wesley Gold is the Law Enforcement Officer for the Grumeti Reserve and manages 100+ anti-poaching scouts on the ground in Tanzania and oversees the efforts to reduce poaching in the area.

I sat down with the co-Founder 12 Labours CrossFit and 12 Labours Lions Team Captain. They placed 2nd place in 2016 against titans such as Rich Froning's team, CrossFit Mayhem Freedom. And 9th place at the CrossFit Games 2014 and 6th place in 2015. Team 12 Labours Lions, of 12 Labours CrossFit in Maryland, is a four-time CrossFit Games team with an all-time best finish of second place in 2016. That year, it was one of only three returning top-10 Games teams from 2015 (CrossFit Mayhem Freedom, CrossFit Solid) and just two from 2014 (CrossFit 808). A top-performing Mid Atlantic and Atlantic Regional team since 2010 with just two regional absences from 2012-2013, the team has been training together in part since 2010. In 2016, four of its six members were returning members of its 2015 Games team. Named for the 12 labors of Hercules, the team took its second-place finish in 2016 with two event wins and eight top-three event finishes.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WIN? We can have our eyes on the prize. We can work every day to accomplish our goal. We can sacrifice and suffer to be the best. But at the end of the day, you can’t define yourself by whether or not you get “first place.” If your identity depends on one thing, you’re bound to fail. You have to free yourself from tying your worth to winning. When you do, you just might see some amazing results. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about faith, family and CrossFit with the “Fittest Man On Earth:” Rich Froning. Rich Froning is a CrossFit athlete known for his achievements participating in the CrossFit Games. He became the first person to win the title of "Fittest Man on Earth" four times and has led team CrossFit Mayhem Freedom to the first-place finish three times. Froning owns and operates the affiliate gym CrossFit Mayhem, located in Cookeville, Tennessee, and is a member of the CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff. Rich fell off the rope the first time he competed in the CrossFit Games and got second place. He felt like a very public failure. But when he released his need to win, he became unstoppable. So get ready to learn what it takes to be an outstanding competitor, husband and father on Episode 808. Some Questions I Ask: Who did you have a deeper relationship with- mom or dad?

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.
