“Each CrossFitter has to have the mindset that they will finish every rep, every round, and cut no corners, and they should be OK with the fact that their performance may not always be at the top of the board. The best CrossFitters are not necessarily the ones who win — they are the ones who participate with integrity. You are not entirely free to grow as an athlete until your mind is in the right state. It’s important to train your mind as intensely as you train your body.”
