3 FEB 2022 · “All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.” Ellen Glasgow
CrossFit, as an exercise methodology and sport, is all about change. The just-completed CrossFit offseason saw some major changes, but at the same time, significant continuity. Helping me piece this dichotomy together is CrossFit’s official statistician, Chad Schroeder, who joins Did You Know That? for his second appearance.
Chad and I discuss the firing of Dave Castro, the offseason competitions, major athlete news, and how he’s prepping for the 2022 season. Speaking of which, the 2022 schedule is listed below if you’re interested in participating – at least in The Open – or just want to follow as a fan.
