Rise and Pod Episode 306: Should CrossFit be "Known and Knowable" for the sake of the sport?
Manage episode 358007004 series 3262320
Today Coach Conway is on a soapbox about CrossFit and what it is meant to be. There is some questioning and chatter that perhaps making the sport more known and knowable will help with viewing, participating and interest in it. Coach doesn't agree. He shares that if you change the "unknown and unknowable" aspect of this sport then it simply isn't this sport. Adrian shares that if you don't like it then you can compete in other known and knowable sports that suit your liking. He also shares that standards need to be clear, judging must be improved and solutions can still be found for problems that exist, but to change the sport basis in itself then would not allow it to still be CrossFit.
