You're Capable—Even If You Don't Know It Yet (Feat. Kristee Irby)

Mat Hotho sits down with Kristee Irby, a Houston-based adaptive CrossFit athlete competing with a left limb difference.Kristee didn't even know adaptive CrossFit existed when she first walked into her gym, Bellhouse CrossFit. She stumbled into the Open, found herself on a leaderboard, and had to decide: was she actually going to do this? She did. What followed was double sessions, a self-built spreadsheet of past semifinal workouts, and a velcro ankle strap from Amazon turned into a rowing attachment. This conversation covers her work ethic, what it meant to finally see other athletes who looked like her, and why she thinks the best thing she can tell a younger version of herself is simply: you're capable.The Adaptive Athlete Podcast is sponsored by Equip Products.Send us Fan MailFollow the podcast on Instagram: @TheAdaptiveAthletePod
