#66 - The Good, The Bad, and the WTF

Team Soul Podcast

We're calling this one The Good, The Bad, and the WTF

We kick this weeks episode off with Jorge and David discussing their experiences taking the CrossFit Level 1 Trainers Course last weekend at CrossFit Soul. David talks about his experience taking the course for the second time and how it differed from his first experience and how the course has changed in the 5 years since he first took it. While an avid CrossFit and fitness enthusiast for close to 10 years, Jorge has never coached or had any formal exposure to the CrossFit Methodology from a theoretical standpoint. He discusses what his experience was like and what he was able to take away from the course.

We then get into the WTF discussion of CrossFit HQ and their social media shitstorm. Earlier this week CrossFit HQ and The CrossFit Games Facebook and Instagram accounts were taken down. Naturally, this caused mass hysteria throughout the community and those now covering media in the space. We later (after this was recorded) came to find out this was due to Greg Glassman's opposition of the way Facebook handles its user data amongst other things. Whether it makes sense or not, whether we buy it or not, this is the reality we are now living in. Tune in to hear our thoughts, our concerns, and how Team Soul and CrossFit Soul will move forward.
