Joining us in this special episode is two-time CrossFit Games OG athlete, Kaleena Ladearious. Kaleena is a former CrossFit affiliate owner from NY who now resides in Miami, FL. She talks to the crew about how she ended up in FL, what it was like competing at the CrossFit Games, what motivates her and much more!

Our hosts cover the awkwardness of coaches asking for money, their thoughts on the new law passing marijuana for recreational use in NY, and how the CrossFit Open went. 

In our 1-year anniversary episode our hosts talk about the controversial Mat Fraser interview on the Joe Rogan podcast. Dave Castro as well as some prominent CrossFit affiliate owners were a bit upset at some of Mat's comments. Our hosts give their two-cents and also discuss COVID restrictions, and their thoughts on the CrossFit Open thus far.

Ever wonder how some families have multiple children who are star athletes? How much of this was genetics (nature) and how much of this was nurture (their environment)? 

Chemistry teacher, wrestling coach, and father, Will Carano, joins us to chat about family dynamics and what is the secret sauce to the success of his kids.

From the TKO of Connor McGregor to our host's opinion about the vaccine, there were a lot of things covered on this week's episode of The Coaching Couch.
