Today we spoke with Rich Froning - American professional CrossFit athlete, and owner of the gym CrossFit Mayhem of Mayhem Nation Today's episode has been kindly sponsored by Jim Hensel - culture coach, personal development expert and director of Mayhem Mindset. Find out more at www.mayhemmindset.com Rich Froning is known for his achievements in participating in the CrossFit Games. He became the first person to win the title of "Fittest Man on Earth" 4 times with his first-place finish in the 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 CrossFit Games. In 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2021 he led a team from CrossFit Mayhem to the first-place finish in the Team category in the CrossFit Games. Froning also owns and operates the affiliate gym CrossFit Mayhem, located in Cookeville, Tennessee, USA. Today we spoke about faith, family and fitness - the big rocks in Richs' life, and how he grades himself in each every day. We learned about his Irish ancestry, his interest in hurling - and the controlled chaos with his 3 children..."a party every day". We asked about what the indoctrination to his gym looks like - and got a sense as to what sort of environment it is. Rich told us about his training and recovery practices, and how these processes have evolved. We discussed competing individually and in team events - and his role as a leader. From a big family from Michigan...a dad, husband, competitor and team leader...lean in! Special thanks to Jen, Rory McKernan and Jim Hensel from the Mayhem Nation for helping make this happen, and for supporting our show! Having had Jim before, now Rich...it would be great to hear Rorys' story too!
