What does it take to compete at a high level in The Tactical Games?

In this episode of Discomfort Required, I sit down with Jen Libby—CrossFit Level 3 Coach, Tactical Games competitor, and one of the toughest athletes you'll meet.

Before she was competing for podium spots and qualifying for Nationals, Jen spent years in the equestrian world. We dive into how working with horses taught her discipline, grit, and the ability to stay committed when things get uncomfortable—lessons that still show up in her training and competition today.

We talk about her journey from horse shows to CrossFit, how she found The Tactical Games, and what it really takes to perform in a sport that demands strength, endurance, shooting ability, and mental toughness.

Jen also shares lessons learned from injuries, setbacks, and failures along the way, plus the mindset shifts that helped her go from simply showing up to competing at the highest level.
