On this week's episode, Maysa and Hannah sit down with 2018 CrossFit Games Athlete Stephanie Rodriguez. Growing up as a competitive gymnast, Steph found CrossFit intriguing and quickly excelled at her new sport. Steph gives us insight into the mind of an elite athlete - we talk all about the mental game, what training is like, and what goes on in her head during a workout. 

Steph talks about the importance of team building, putting your ego aside to do what's best for the team, and her role in helping her team get the invite to the 2018 CrossFit Games (we get details, don't worry) along with her drive to prove people wrong. Steph is the prime example of why we love the CrossFit community - when she finishes a workout, she immediately gets up to start cheering and encouraging other athletes. She recently received the Spirit of the Pine Award at the 2019 Sacred Pine Invitational (note: see previous podcast) because of her awesome attitude, humbleness, and enthusiasm to always lift up those around her. 

Steph loves competing and loves how CrossFit has changed her entire life. Listen for more!
