Logan Collins has competed as an individual the last four years at the CrossFit Games, placing 31st, 15, 11th, and 13th.  He has done this while running his affiliate CrossFit Rejoice in Wylie, Texas, and also while training on his own.  This year people watched him hit over 20 rounds of "Mary" while dealing with a very painful calf cramp that caused him to revert to strict pull-ups.  Listen in as Logan talks about his thoughts of the 2019 Games, whether the field was truly fair during the sled push, and what he's doing to ensure a top 10 finish next year.

Todd Occhiuto is a flowmaster on the CrossFit seminar team and one of our closest friends.  Todd has written many articles for the CrossFit Journal helping coaches develop their ability to teach, see, and correct movement.  In this episode (recorded at the CrossFit Games), we discuss some simple drills coaches can use right away to help them develop.
