#43 - Teaching Is A Medium For Sharing Something Bigger w/ James Hobart

This is a special episode for me. James Hobart was the head coach at my CF Level 1 Seminar a few years back. I remember that experience so vividly and James had a huge part to do with that. It was an honour to reconnect with him after following his journey since then.James is an eight-year CrossFit Games veteran (3 individuals, 5 teams). And he’s the only athlete to have competed on two different Affiliate Cup Champion teams. Beyond his athletic success, he is very down to earth and has a gift of being able to teach.CrossFit is just a medium for him to express that.I wanted to know about things like what goes into prepping for a kickass seminar? How do you give feedback to people with more experience than you? How did you train for the Games on pretty much two meals a day?!We also talk about why training has a purpose beyond just competition and how he is filling up this new space with some exciting endeavors. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.Show Notes:(8:00) – Law school to Reebok to CF HQ(16:10) – Perspective on adversity from traveling(19:02) – Competing(21:10) – Coaching(24:20) – Flow state when connecting with others(25:30) – Prepping for the delivery of a seminar(31:20) – Giving feedback to people with more experience than you(36:20) – Filling the void and why training has a purpose beyond the competition👋🏽  Connect with James:Website: http://reebokcrossfitone.comInstagram: @jameshobartConnect with me:Habit Chess Newsletter: https://geni.us/VU0ptPod Mahal book on Amazon: https://geni.us/16YofIWork with me: https://geni.us/C1qB3DaGet in touch: https://geni.us/gBtz
