I’m not a particular fan of heights, but the motivation to get a unique angle overrides my fear and the 100’ catwalk becomes just another media pit.

Above the noise.
There’s another element to thriving in the Sport of Fitness that goes under the radar more often than the physical skills, and that’s the mental game. It’s not only about having a strong competition mindset, though that is critical.
In addition to mental fortitude in the face of unknown challenges, CrossFit Games athletes have to think quickly. They have to be smart. The best maintain their composure and mental acuity in the heat of competition and are able to quickly strategize and adjust as necessary to complete the task at hand.
Olympians are able to push the limits of their sport year after year because they know what the competition will look like. They know what they need to do to move beyond the limits of what seemed impossible last year. CrossFit Games athletes don’t really know what they’re in for when they show up at the Games. And that’s exactly the point. The CrossFit Games put CrossFit’s best athletes on a global stage and pressure-test their physical and mental skills.
CrossFit is, by design, the most effective way to broaden the range of a person’s physical abilities and increase their work capacity, And the CrossFit Games are the most effective way to test the abilities and work capacities of the best athletes — that is, the Games are the ultimate test of fitness.
