Building the Sport from Behind the Curtain (Feat. Shannon Ogar)

Head Judge of the Adaptive CrossFit Games, Shannon Ogar, joins the podcast to talk about her path from University of Alabama athletic trainer to adaptive athlete and leader in the sport. She shares how a stroke-like medical event changed her right-side vestibular function and facial mobility, what that’s meant for balance, vision, fatigue, and training, and why recovery strategy is non-negotiable for athletes with CNS impairments.Shannon previews this year’s briefing flow (athlete-led Q&A with all workouts and standards available on site) and the push to grow staff and division expertise as the field scales.Follow Shannon on Instagram: @thewalkingogarSend us Fan MailFollow the podcast on Instagram: @TheAdaptiveAthletePod
