A Championship Mindset and the Brother Behind the Scenes (Feat. Lance King & Kyle King)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mat Hotho sits down with Lance King — three-time CrossFit Adaptive Games champion in the Intellectual Disability without Chromosomal Condition division — and his older brother Kyle King, who serves as Lance's coach, handler, and in-competition strategist.
In this conversation, Kyle breaks down what it actually looks like to coach your brother — the 80/20 split between serious training, how he builds competition strategy down to which direction Lance should face before a sandbag throw, and why calling no reps on your own brother is part of the job. Lance talks about his championship mindset, what keeps him moving even when a workout isn't going his way, and what it means to be himself on the competition floor.
