This week Jason shares a story from the 2009 CrossFit Games. Coming off a win the year before, expectations were high. In the middle of an event, he blacked out and hit the floor.
What happened next mattered more than the collapse.
Dave Castro gave him a choice. Stay down or get back up and finish.
This episode isn’t about the moment he passed out. It’s about what adversity does to you. Winning feels good, but pushing through when things fall apart is what actually builds confidence.
Sometimes the setback is the thing that proves to you who you are.
