Episode Description

In this episode of the BarBend Podcast, we're talking to CrossFit Games athlete, Kristine Best. While fans may know her as an elite athlete, most of the people she works with every day know her as something else: a teacher.

Unlike other Games-level athletes — who build lives around training full time — Kristine is a full time special education teacher.

We talk about how the demands of both teaching and training help motivate her to keep pushing and much more.
