Get ready to hold onto your kettlebells as the landscape of CrossFit Games shifts dramatically in its 2024 season. This episode of the HerdFit podcast throws you into the heart of the changes as coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic scrutinize the logistics, implications, and the ripple effect they have on the CrossFit community. With CrossFit Open season broadening from 10% to 25% for the Quarterfinals and more athletes involved at nearly ever competition point, we navigate the new lay of the land that will undoubtedly turn up the heat on the athletes.Can you imagine planning how to juggle 50 athletes, and mapping out complex workouts over four days? That's the new reality for affiliate owners. We unravel practical ideas to affiliates on how to help handle to the larger Quarterfinals groups. Also, let's not skirt around CrossFit's ambitious plan to review the videos of 200 athletes in Masters divisions for the Semifinals. There's a banquet of potential challenges on that plate and we're dishing it all out. The changes aren't all sweat and stress though. We shine a light on the exciting opportunities these adjustments bring. Picture an expanded Quarterfinals AND Semifinals field, giving more athletes a chance at glory and perhaps drawing more people into the world of CrossFit. We dissect why it's crucial to rally behind these changes and the potential silver lining they bring to the CrossFit community. Strap on your lifting belts and tune in as we dissect these exhilarating changes and their potential to shape the future of CrossFit.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness
