Teddy has been taking chances since he moved across the ocean- away from his family, friends, and home- to pursue his passions. This time, he's going back across the ocean (a different direction) for a new adventure, with the same goal in mind: learn something new.

We connected with Teddy while he was working for iN3 Nutrition, and he has since moved on and out of the US to find new adventure, life lessons, and connection. In this episode, we caught Teddy right before he moved out of his comfort zone in Arizona to his new home somewhere in Australia (we asked- he's prepared for all the crazy wildlife).

As athletes, we want to perform at our best. What we sometimes won't admit to, though, is that we don't want to compromise how we look to get there. The truth is, we can have it all (performance, aesthetics, and longevity), but we can't have it all at the same time.

In this episode, we sat down to talk about what it takes to fuel your performance, and the mental shift that happens with it.

We are constantly pushing each other to grow and develop our craft as coaches, our business, and ourselves as people. Recently, we both passed our CrossFit L-3 exams, elevating the WCA to the next level (!!!). 

In this episode, we dive into how we prepared for the CrossFit L-3 Exam, what we took away from studying for it, and why we think more coaches would benefit from taking it.

Marcus Filly lives and trains in our backyard. He's a friend of ours, and its taken us 2 years to sit down and get him on the podcast. But we finally did it, and its a conversation you don't want to miss. 

Starting in a small warehouse that left more to be desired, to building out arguably the nicest fitness facility in Marin County, Marcus and his team at Revival Strength have created long lasting connections with their community both local and remote.

Dr. Christine Desanno is not your average depiction of a doctor.

That's due in large part to the fact that she is also a competitive Olympic Weightlifter and CrossFitter. 

In this episode, we sat down with Christine to talk about the current state of healthcare, what she sees as challenges we can address in our gyms, and what she's doing to encourage her colleagues to adopt some healthier habits. 

We also addressed the big elephant (gorilla?) in the room- Christine is a woman in a predominantly male-centered profession. There are always challenges when it comes to being unique in your field, but there are also so many opportunities to start a conversation.

We are coming to you this week with our first repeat guest- Frank Murray! Catch Frank's first episode (Episode 4) to get to know more about Next Level Weightlifting. 

This week, we sat down with Frank to talk about winning, cheating, and what it really means to give it your all. 

Have you ever wanted to win so badly that you'd consider doing anything to get there? 

Have you ever cut corners to achieve a goal faster?

Your self-esteem and self-confidence are linked to the effort you put in to achieving your goals- so do you really 'win" if you cheat to get there?

Other people's opinions of you are none of your business. 

How many time's have you made a choice based on how you think it will be perceived by others instead of your own gut feeling? We do it all the time. The fear of judgment is something that impacts our decision making all the time. 

In this episode we discuss how powerful it has been for us to stop caring what other people think, and instead constantly do what feels right. At the WCA, we are passionate about a lot of things and recently we've gone ALL IN on putting out content that is in line with what we believe in. The only way we have been able to do that is by constantly reminding ourselves that other people's opinions of the WCA and the content we put out is none of our business. 

Navigating the nutrition space can be confusing.

Buzz Words like "Gluten-free," "Fat-free," and "Organic" are stamped on almost everything. 

In this episode, we sat down to clear the waters in hopes of making it a little easier for all of you.
