Mat Hotho sits down with Oscar Jessup, a 17-year-old adaptive CrossFit athlete from Australia who placed third at last year's Adaptive Games in Las Vegas, complete with his now-famous bow-and-arrow celebration.
Oscar's joined by his dad Rich and his coach Tom Woodham from CrossFit 2444, and together they get into what it actually takes to build a path for an athlete like Oscar: a gym that says yes first and figures out the how second.
They talk Vegas highlights, the strength of Oscar's gymnastics, where the I division's programming could grow, and the family and coaching support behind every lift. It's a loud, funny, full-hearted conversation about community and coaching.
Rich's advice for any family starting out? Find yourself a Tom.
