If Bryce Knight’s coaching and athletic resume landed on your desk, it’d earn a spot close to the top of the pile. I say that not just because he’s technically a senior colleague of mine, but because he brings over 15 years of CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting coaching experience, including coaching Commonwealth Games silver medallist Sarah Cochrane and national representative Halle Mifsud. (Toot toot)
On top of that, Bryce himself has competed at the CrossFit Games in a team twice (2012 and 2014), with multiple regional and sectional appearances to his name. These days, he sits close to the top of the coaching pecking order at Hybrid Performance Training (HPT) Centre in Townsville—so inevitably, his perspective on what separates the elite from the good, holds some credibility.
Is it a few loose screws? Maybe they’re born with it? Or did they get a double dose of self-belief? Whatever it is, this conversation raises questions on what winning means to different people and the sacrifices it takes to get there.
Bryce’s calm, level-headed approach also lends itself well to address issues around burnout, vulnerability, and how to acknowledge negative feelings without letting them derail your progress.
An absolute head-nodder of an episode and one I reckon everyone could take something away from. Give it a listen. 🎧
