Episode Details

Baylee Rayl Christophel didn’t grow up dreaming about CrossFit—but sports were always in her blood. So how does a basketball player and collegiate golfer end up competing year after year at the CrossFit Games? 

In this episode, Baylee chats with Sadie about her fitness journey, the moment her faith became everything, how she met her husband (who now competes right alongside her), and why she’s learned that success isn’t about winning—it’s about finishing strong.

They also dive into facing fears: Sadie recalls a high school two-mile race she didn’t want to run, and Baylee shares moments when her worst fears hit the competition floor head-on.
