''Whatever it is you’re going through, believe that you have the ability to get it done'' - @CSpealler

This week I’m talking with legendary CrossFit Games competitor and coach, Chris Spealler, who I was introduced to by my friend Charlie Brenneman back in episode 29 of the podcast.  

Chris Spealler was an individual competitor in 7 CrossFit Games, is an Affiliate Owner, and trainer for CrossFit Headquarters teaching a variety of seminars both domestic and internationally.

He helped grow the sport of CrossFit through competing and teaching since 2007, and currently has an awesome online program IconAthlete.com, which is specifically designed for individuals aspiring to compete in CrossFit.

In today's talk, we touch on a variety of topics, including family, faith, overcoming adversity, mental strength, and so much more. During this interview, Chris really puts life in perspective and helps you understand what truly matters the most.
