KLP #104 | Dwight Upshaw & Nic Johnston on Crossfit, PRVN Team, & Nutrition

Kent talks with Dwight Upshaw & Nic Johnston, two of the coaches from PRVN Fitness, coaching some of the biggest names in the sport such as Tia Clair Toomey, Brooke Wells, Alec Smith, Streat Hoerner, Will Moorad and James Newbury.   ---   Dwight Upshaw, most recently was the head coach of Crossfit Sanitas, has trained all types of athletes for nearly 15 years.  (Crossfit Sanitas, btw, is the gym in Boulder CO owned by Eric Roza.  Eric was the CEO of Datalogix, an extremely successful technology company that he sold to Oracle, allowing him to buy Crossfit in 2020, where he is now CEO).  Growing up in Northern California, he started out in track, football, swimming, baseball, and soccer. In college, he was a D-1 rower on the UC Berkeley Crew Team. He later transitioned into triathlons and multi-sport racing and was part of the UC Berkeley Tri Team that won the Collegiate National Championship.  After years as an endurance athlete and with burnout beginning to creep in, Dwight found CrossFit.  The competitive, fun, community-based atmosphere helped him fall back in love with fitness. As a Boulder CrossFitter, you gotta love a guy who can run a marathon in 2:39 (that’s 26 6-minute miles) AND deadlift over 545 pounds!  You can follow Dwight on IG at: Dwight.Upshaw   Nic Johnston, another exceptional Crossfit coach, is the guy you'll see a lot on PRVN's Youtube channel explaining the workouts and foundation work their putting their athletes through.  He is former head coach of XLR8 Athletix and a Professional Nutrition Consultant, which they are utilizing w/ the athletes training at PRVN.  You can follow Nic on IG at: NicJohnstonn.    ---   ABOUT the Kent Lapp Podcast: » The KLP features long-form, in-person conversations that explore and inform.   » The KLP Trailer: https://youtu.be/TVFsBJlbUJ4 » About the KLP: https://www.kentlapp.com/aboutklp » About Kent Lapp: http://kentlapp.com/about/   WATCH/STREAM The Kent Lapp Podcast: » Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thekentlapppodcast » Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/vfv2vgw » Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/y8yd2gcc » Overcast: https://tinyurl.com/y8veuoxl » Castbox: https://tinyurl.com/y8vwheqt » Stitcher: https://tinyurl.com/y75uy96u » Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/yburnrld » Amazon Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/y7lszt2f   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: » Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kentlapppodcast/ » Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KentLappPodcast  » Twitter: <a hr
