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.
In these conversations, you'll hear stories of resiliency, adaptation, grit, and determination. You'll also hear about the ways the adaptive space is growing.
Whether you are an adaptive athlete, a coach, or you know someone who would benefit from adaptive athletics and adaptive fitness, this podcast is the place to hear stories and build connections.
New episodes drop every Tuesday.

Curiosity and Humility (Feat. Brian Knight)
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 Brian Knight. Brian was born with a brachial plexus injury. He won a silver medal at the 2025 CrossFit Games, and he's one of the OGs of adaptive CrossFit content.
Brian grew up fully integrated into able-bodied sports, didn't discover CrossFit until a roommate with the heart of a coach handed him a dumbbell and a workout in a school gym in Chicago.
Brian and Mat cover the spectrum between over- and under-owning your impairment, why community matters more than circumstances, and what curiosity paired with humility looks like in practice.
