Best Hour of Their Day | Podcast

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. We also discuss the mobility epidemic going on in the CrossFit world, where coaches and athletes immediately believe all of their problems, physical and emotional can be solved by doing more mobility rather than moving better.

Todd Widman got hooked on CrossFit when he was a captain in the Marine Corps. As a flowmaster on CrossFit’s Seminar Staff, he says he finds his job highly rewarding. Likewise, he encourages everyone in the community to give coaching a try before shouldering the responsibility of owning an affiliate. “When you give people the power of doing something—a pull-up, a push press, a squat, whatever it is—they figure out that they can do that by their will. They can then start to take care of this,” Widman says, pointing with both index fingers to his head. He adds: “I love that stuff because they realize that they’re still in control of their life, that it’s not just all downhill for the rest of their life. It’s shocking and humbling and beautiful.” Support Todd: @todds_gym Rate/subscribe in Apple Podcasts!  Find us on Instagram: @besthouroftheirday + @thejasonackerman Check out our website - besthouroftheirday.com
