We set out on a trip across America to train and collaborate with the top CrossFit athletes in the world, in search of their greater purpose.
While some athletes strive to go down as the greatest of all time, for many of them, being the best of all time is not their primary goal. Instead, they aim to make an impact, spread a message, and help people become the best versions of themselves.
Hopefully, this short documentary sheds light on the driving factors behind each of these athletes.
Athletes;
- Jayson Hopper @jaysonhopper1
- Noah Ohlsen @NoahOhlsen
- Danielle Brandon
- Roman Khrennikov
- Justin Medeiros @justinmedeiros2499
- Ellie Turner

I like how Danielle says that high-motivation days are rare. This is so relatable. You adopt a routine and you stick to it. You don't have to feel motivated to get great results.

So much inspiration, perspective, and knowledge to be gained. Thank you!

Mitch this has been the best video out to really show the people beyond the comps. It shows how they are real people who just happen to be doing something they love while actually love so many other things. Too many people put these top athletes on a pedestal and want to be them. I'm not that, but knowing more about them makes me believe. not only do I want to be them, but in my way I am them. Not in athletics but in life. Love the content, keep it going.

I know we get a 10,000-foot view of who you are, but it is so refreshing to have a humble, calm voice in strongman. I know drama and theatrics sells. But it's not my jam. I enjoy seeing the silent, humble warrior. You are giving the strongman community a good vibe.

I loved that, I was never a top level (Field) Hockey player but I absolutely loved playing and it was everything to me, then I had 3 big injuries that ended my playing days, it destroyed me.. Then I started coaching and realised what everything was actually for, so now I give myself and my knowledge and my joy and passion for the game to the kids I coach so they can grow up enjoying one of the best games on earth and learn to not put pressure on themselves, that winning is not the be all and end all..

Thank you Mitchell for offering this pov. Almost all of the content in the world of CrossFit addresses the hype, the push, the training, and how to perform better. This is the first video I see that interviews such top-level athletes and displays their pov, that becoming a champion is a byproduct of becoming a better athlete and a better person. All the best buddy.

Hey Mr. Hooper, I really enjoyed the angle of perspective in this video. The motive behind the muscle and the purpose in the performance. The insight in the intent, and it precedes just athletics. And, what you said at the beginning in your comment, the position you have has provided a platform or opportunity for impact and what a waste if you don't have anything to say. That's good stuff. I'm a Pastor that just happens to enjoy weightlifting, competitive contact and power sports. I've enjoyed keeping up with you and Brian Shaw for obvious reasons, but a personal one as well. I enjoy the kindness, modesty and humbleness that both of you display as champions in your respective arena's of competition. In those positions it would be very easy to become proud or arrogant in which anyone would struggle with, given the opportunity. I'm a very big fan of passion in the right purposes. Passion that cannot be quenched by adversity and what I speak of is beyond human comprehension, but when discussing topics like your video has brought out, it shows glimpses of characteristics in the creation inherited from our Creator. I believe that you would enjoy the passages found in Hebrews chapter 12 verses 1 and 2 in the Holy Bible (Hebrews 12: 1,2) If you look close enough, you can clearly see the purpose of one man's passion which impacts us all. You and your family will be in my prayers. God bless.
