Christian Harris, one of the most recognizable names in CrossFit, shares how sport is so much more than just your individual performance--it comes down to the team you build. Christian sat down with Mike Lombardi at the CrossFit Games for a deep dive on coaching, culture building, and leadership. Christian talks candidly about his team’s disqualification from the Games this year after one member tested positive for a banned substance, and says his squad, Move Fast Lift Heavy, will come back stronger for next year’s Games. Christian discusses getting into CrossFit (3:53), balancing business, performance, and family (7:00), sticking to schedules (8:27), managing strain (9:23), CrossFit Games disqualification (11:18), building a winning culture (15:53), his coaching philosophy (17:09), power vs. endurance (23:20), sleep and heart rate variability (23:53), and the role fitness plays in mental well being (26:40).
