What's up folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast where we sit down with top performing athletes,

scientists, experts, and more to learn what the best in the world are doing to perform at their peak.

I'm your host Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Woop. We're on a mission to unlock human performance.

All right, big week in the world of CrossFit with the return of Wadapalooza,

and we are excited to welcome CrossFit legend, Rich Froning, to the Woot Podcast.

Rich has won four individual championships and five titles in the team competition,

making him one of the most decorated athletes in the history of the sport.

He talks about the mindset that has propelled him to greatness and explains why his drive to win

and his disdain of losing has fueled him for the last decade. Rich sits down with our resident

CrossFit expert, Mike Lombardi, to talk about his journey to the top of the sport, and they discuss the importance of addressing your weaknesses as an athlete, why finding good training partners might be more important than finding a good coach, how you should think about red recoveries and why reaching performance heights while in the red isn't out of the question.

Team building and why Rich is prouder of his team accomplishments than his individual

championships.

And the role whoop plays in Rich's success.
