16. Life After Competing with Colleen Fotsch

Hey guys, welcome back to Crafting Fitness! Today I’m honored to be speaking with the newest addition to our Crafted Coaching team, Colleen Fotsch. We had a wonderful conversation talking about her athletic career, stories from our time working together during her competitive days, and how she’s navigated the change in her identity from the athlete towards the next chapter of being a coach and data analyst. I’m going to read a short bio of hers to give some of you more insight into who she is and what she has done. So bear with me for a moment as I read this. Colleen is an elite athlete in multiple sports and an all around bad-ass human. She started out as a 5-time All-American swimmer at UC Berkeley, where her team won multiple NCAA D1 championships. After college, Colleen poured her heart into a new sport– CrossFit. She went on to compete at the CrossFit Games as both an individual athlete and in the team division. In 2020, Colleen was recruited to join the National USA Bobsled Team and added yet another impressive adventure to her athletic resumé. Although she’s now retired from competitive athletics, she maintains her athletic spirit as a full-time data analyst putting in hours in the office while still training hard and enjoying life. While pursuing her masters degree, Colleen developed a passion for helping people balance effective training with all of the other facets of life– work, school, family, and friends. Colleen has taken her knowledge and experience competing at the highest level to develop Crafted: Perform.
