Manny is a successful CrossFit affiliate owner who has been able to take that success and pass it on to his coaches. A common problem we see in the CrossFit space is that it is often times unrealistic for CrossFit coaches to have the ability to work full-time in a way that can actually support a lucrative way of life. Manny has taken his philosophies and systems and leveraged them to change that issue. He employs 4 full-time coaches at his affiliate (NorthEast CrossFit), and they are able to thrive in this environment. Take a listen...there are some gems in here.

On todays episode of the podcast, the coaches sit down and outline their step by step process on how they work with the population of masters athletes. There are many nuances when it comes to working with this demographic that is lost on most coaches. If the proper approach isnt taken...it can lead to a much higher chance of injury or failure than would be the case when working with a typical athlete in their early 20's. And having just come off a CrossFit Games Masters win, this seemed like the ideal time to shine a spotlight on the methodology that the team uses. Enjoy!
