What happens after a 10-year goal is finally achieved? JST Coach and CrossFit Games Masters Athlete Huw Davis sits down with Jak Cornthwaite for a brutally honest debrief of his first-ever Games experience.
This isn't just a recap of the events. Huw shares the raw realities of competing at the highest level: the \"post-comp blues,\" the lessons learned from hitting the wall, the evolution of training as a Masters athlete, and the mindset required to get back on the horse for another year of graft.
This episode is a must-listen for any serious athlete who wants to understand the difference between being fit and being a competitor, and the lessons you only learn when you're in the arena.
