The JST Podcast

At JST, we strive to empower and motivate athletes on their journey towards achieving personal excellence. In this podcast episode, Mitch, Philroy, Kirstin, and Alex delve into the topic of team versus individual training. They explore whether athletes should prioritise team performance as much as their individual success, and what inspires them to bring out their best in either setting. As these four athletes gear up for the upcoming CrossFit Games season as a team, they emphasize the importance of supporting each other and inspiring the wider JST community. Rather than fixating on outcomes, they focus on the process of continual improvement.----------------Sign up for JST Athlete Trial week (Access All Areas - 30+ programs) - https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthleteJST Train | Class program sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTTrainc...JST Compete fixed length programs: https://app.fitr.training/b/JSTCompet...JST Compete podcast: https://linktr.ee/jstpodcastJST Compete Instagram: https://instagram.com/jst_compete?igs...Shop JST Compete: https://wodable.com/collections/jst-c...JST newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jstcompete/email-s...

How does your training background help to create the person and athlete you are today? We dive into much more detail in today's episode with Jennifer Muir and Fraser Clark. It's fascinating to hear how very different their upbringing through sport is, but both have ended up now in very similar situations.----------------Sign up for JST Athlete Trial week (Access All Areas - 30+ programs) - https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthleteJST Train | Class program sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTTrainc...JST Compete fixed length programs: https://app.fitr.training/b/JSTCompet...JST Compete podcast: https://linktr.ee/jstpodcastJST Compete Instagram: https://instagram.com/jst_compete?igs...Shop JST Compete: https://wodable.com/collections/jst-c...JST newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jstcompete/email-s...

We've had quite a few questions recently about training organisation. Which bits should you do in the program? Do you do everything? Do you pick and choose bits? What is the best thing for you to do to help you get the most out of the program?----------------Sign up to JST Athlete (Access All Areas - 30+ programs) - https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthleteJST Athlete sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthlet...JST Train | Class program sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTTrainc...JST Compete fixed length programs: https://app.fitr.training/b/JSTCompet...JST Compete podcast: https://linktr.ee/jstpodcastJST Compete Instagram: https://instagram.com/jst_compete?igs...Shop JST Compete: https://wodable.com/collections/jst-c...JST newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jstcompete/email-s...

Jak speaks with Jamie Boston, head coach at TIO CrossFit, JST Compete individual coach and head program writer of JST Train Class. He's over 10 years experience as a CrossFit coach and has worked with complete newbies from a range of backgrounds to CrossFit Games athletes and everyone in between.We start by digging into Jamie's background in West London, going through his experiences in Rugby to where he is now and the person he is today. . We explore what it takes to become a world class coach in CrossFit, what your CrossFit level 1 doesn't teach you, and some of the best ways to empower people on their own journey inside and outside of CrossFit.------------------Sign up to JST Athlete (Access All Areas - 30+ programs) - https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthleteJST Athlete sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTAthletesampleJST Train | Class program sample week: https://app.fitr.training/p/JSTTrainclass_sampleJST Compete fixed length programs: https://app.fitr.training/b/JSTCompet...JST Compete podcast: https://linktr.ee/jstpodcastJST Compete Instagram: https://instagram.com/jst_compete?igs...Shop JST Compete: https://wodable.com/collections/jst-c...JST newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jstcompete/email-s...

Last year, we spoke a lot about being the coaching service that has everything you need to progress from a beginner to a weekend competitor, to a semi finals athlete, to a Games athlete. By offering the pathway and range of programs and services for anyone to be able to fit in at whichever point in their journey and find the right program for them.As coaches, we have been through pretty much the full journey ourselves. For myself, starting as a beginner and learning the exercises and how to correctly perform them, to learning how to develop to climb the rankings and finding myself at the top of the sport. From then deciding to take a step back individually and putting more emphasis on working in a team. Then my competitive career takes a back seat to focus more on family and business, but still wanting to train and keep myself fit and healthy. Then now, where I'm finding a balance to be able to apply myself to my family and business whilst continuing to pursue some competitive goals again.It's a journey that has ranged in demands all across the board. From needing a program to train for 2 hours a day when aiming to get to Regionals in 2013, to upping my commitments over the next few years and training 4-5 hours a day. To then step back to as little as 3 x 60 minute sessions a week just to not turn into a potato. Now to finding an in-between of it all.Every time somehow asked me "Why did you start JST Compete?". My answer has always been. "To provide a service that offered everything I didn't have as a competitor, so people didn't need to go through trial and error stages in training to learn what is the right and wrong thing to do". Not only that but to raise the standard of CrossFit, especially within the UK. The training days, now the Regionals events, did wonders for me as a competitor to help keep pushing me on. The reason why we do everything we do is to provide opportunities for people to reach "their CrossFit Games". Within your JST Athlete monthly subscription, all athletes will now get access to:JST Athlete + Strength bias, Engine bias, Gymnastics bias and team workout extras.JST Train - A 30-60 minute version of JST Athlete for people stuck on timeOn The GO! - A 30-45 minute program that can be done in a globo gym or at home, easy training that requires little equipment or mental demand. A get in, get it done, get out type approachCompete - The Compete program will return! This will be Competition phase programming, more typical CrossFit as opposed to year round periodisation.Fixed length programs for specific weaknesses will be made available for FREE with an ongoing subscription.We feel like with these changes we can offer a more substantial service that can be flexible to changes within your life, your commitments, your goals and time. So we truly can offer a service that can support your journey from complete newbie to a business owner with a family and all the stations you stop at along the way.--------------------JST Compete 7-day free trial: https://app.fitr.training/b/JSTCompeteJST Compete fixed length programs: https://app.fitr.training/b/JSTCompeteFixedLength/JST Compete podcast: https://linktr.ee/jstpodcastJST Compete Instagram: https://instagram.com/jst_compete?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Shop JST Compete: https://wodable.com/collections/jst-competeJST newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jstcompete/email-sign-up————————-Theme song:Happy Life by FREDJI https://soundcloud.com/fredjimusic https://www.facebook.com/fredjimusic/ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/u4PI5p5bI9k
