In this very timely episode of the Bolder Athlete Podcast, host Josh Boonstra sits down with CrossFit Games athletes Aaron Houchin, Justin Brewer, and Paul Delanoy to catch up, and share tips & tricks from their test runs of each quarterfinals workout. They talked through each event in detail—what caught them off guard, where they made mistakes, what they'd change, and how they're planning to approach quarterfinals. They discuss pacing strategies, managing fatigue, and nuances within each workout they anticipate having to navigate on gameday —like grip management, the value of transitions, and which workouts to avoid coming out too hot. They also talk about the mental side of this stage of the season — conditioning your mind for the redzone, how to stay composed, and how confidence (or lack of it) can completely change your performance. If you’re heading into Quarterfinals, be sure to catch this post test debrief —sharing what worked, what didn’t, and the tips and tricks that can help you get the most out of your performance.
