Today we have Coach Mike talking to the Rodgers Brothers, Billy and Danny- the behind the scenes guys at the CrossFit Games. If the CrossFit volunteers and staff are the blood of the Games, the Rodgers brothers are the heart and soul! Billy and Danny manage everything outside the competition floor from bleachers, equipment, tents, turf, tickets and more! They share some funny stories like setting up a personal porta potty for Dave Castro and staying up late at the venue to set up hay bales for the famous “cheese curd” workout at the Games. I hope you enjoy the episode!
