How do you become the CrossFit Games Rookie of the Year? For Coach Nick Mathew it took setting a goal, maintaining a high standard and loving the burn! Nick joins Fran Racioppi and Jessie Graff live from the Modballs booth at TYR Wodaplooza for a conversation on transitioning from olympic lifting to CrossFit. 

Today Nick’s a CrossFit affiliate owner where he trains not only himself, but all those looking to push themselves mentally and physically. He shares his tips for training to compete with the world’s best and how his daily dedication to training, even when he didn’t want to, has given him a real shot at the podium in the 2023 CrossFit Games.
