This week, Mandi and Wanda sit down with CrossFit athlete, coach, and firefighter Liz Wishart. Liz shares her journey in the sport, from starting out in bodybuilding to competing as an elite CrossFit athlete. She talks about what it was like making the switch from individual to team competition at Wodapalooza and how that experience changed her perspective. They dive into the mental side of competing, the importance of mindset shifts for long-term success, and how Liz applies those lessons in coaching. She also discusses the challenges of balancing intense training with her career as a firefighter, how she prepares for travel competitions, and her go-to snacks for quick fuel during events. Plus, they talk about bad gym habits, the chaos of lifting with a team, and why her entire family is freakishly strong.
