About this listen

Reigning CrossFit world champion Rich Froning is "the fittest man on Earth". He's fast, he's strong, and he's incredibly disciplined. But it takes more than physical strength to compete and win at an elite level. It takes incredible mental and spiritual toughness as well. And it is the precise balance of all three that makes Rich Froning a champion.

In First, listeners follow Rich as he trains for and competes in back-to-back CrossFit world championships. Along the way Rich shares invaluable training tips, motivational techniques, and spiritual insights that, in keeping with the CrossFit philosophy, will prepare you to respond to any real-life physical, mental, or spiritual challenge.

great book, terrible narration

I love CrossFit and Rich's story. I just wish it would have been narrated by someone different. It turned a very dramatic and exciting story into a dull grind that was harder to get through than Double Murph. I recommend buying the book and reading it yourself.

More of a catholic book then a CrossFit book

If you’re into Christianity and how your faith can help you in life; this is the book for you. If you want to know about Crossfit this is not the book for you.
