The Adaptive Athlete Podcast
The Adaptive Athlete Podcast is dedicated to sharing the stories of athletes in the Crossfit space and beyond who have pushed past the limits doctors or others gave them.

Coaching and Leading as an Adaptive Athlete (Feat. Christina Mazzullo)
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 Christina Mazzullo. Christina is a CrossFit Games adaptive champion, affiliate owner of CrossFit Tar Heel in North Carolina, and newly minted Registered Dietitian .
Tina is an upper extremity adaptive athlete who was born missing her left thumb and partial finger joints, and she's turned that into a masterclass in figuring out the how. From climbing a rope mid-class while teaching others she never thought she could, to rebuilding her grip from scratch when Festivus Games told her she couldn't compete RX with a strap.
She and Mat dig into her path from intimidated outsider at a CrossFit gym in Oahu to two-time Games champion, the wellness center model she's built at her affiliate, and the mindset shift that's driven all of it: moving from "I can't" to "how can I?"
