Episode 23: U18: Smashing the Competition with 2022 Fittest Teen in the UK - Ben Cole

Connor, Ben and Jeff discuss "Murph in the Garden", getting started in CrossFit, what Ben had been doing in sport and fitness prior to 2019, and how competition drives him to long term goals. Connor and Jeff talk about programming with and for Ben and what it takes for a young athlete to focus on the things they need to work on rather than just the more motivating strengths, and of course- the outcomes and rewards of that work.Show Notes/Highlights2:02 "Murph" in the garden and Great Stour Teens Class5:14 Baseline and sporting history6:44 Was Competition always a goal?7:44 Programming & gaining experiences competing in European and British Championships11:18 The Mental Shift required for learning, progress and resilience12:40 How experience and training made this year different16:45 Ben's vision for the next few yearsLinks and Hashtagswww.thebrandxmethod.comFind the Athlete Coach Network in the Apple Store#TheBrandXMethod#TheAthleteCoachNetwork#CompeteEliteHQ#CrossFitOpenTeenDivision#CrossFitGreatStour#BenCole#BritishTeenFitnessChampionship#EuropeanTeenFitnessChampionship
