At 19 years old Mat Fraser fractured his spine in two places while training for the U.S. Olympic Weightlifting team. Doctors told him that the most he could hope for in terms of athletic performance following the injury was a light jog. Fraser had other plans. Smash cut to today. The 2020 CrossFit Games champion now boasts five consecutive titles-the longest winning streak in the history of the sport-and holds the record for largest margin of victory, nearly doubling the points of the next runner up. On today's episode, we cover our experience seeing him train firsthand for his 2020 victory, and how he structures his life around the CrossFit Games. He also shares his advice around getting started in fitness, staying disciplined, and his mentality around competition.
The Mat Fraser Art Collection includes four powerful mantras he lives by. Lessons learned over a career of doing what others won’t: "You Win or You Learn," "Pressure is a Privilege," "Hard Work Pays Off," and "Pain is Temporary."
