Today's topic posted by Couch, "The World's Greatest Athlete?" by Reed Albergotti - Wall Street Journal
Couch seems super shocked as to why there's no mention of CF?!? How could they? According to couch:
we coached WSJ author Reed Albergotti through a lot of material and he left us out. We knew from some earlier contact and his responses that we were unduly taxing his faculties.
You see children, he tried to lead him to salvation, but alas the writer could not grasp it.
Subsequently Couch adds:
Would Larry Bird have been a better basketball player with CrossFit? Would two players of Bird's potential remain equal in basketball capacity if one CF'd and the other did not? The first answer is, "hell yes". The second, "hell no". No one who has worked with world class sport athletes in conjunction with CrossFit have any doubt whatsoever.
NOT ONE WORLD CLASS ATHLETE OF THOUSANDS WE'VE TRAINED HAS APPROACHED THE FITNESS LEVEL OF A GOOD CROSSFITTER. Not one.
So yes there you have it. Regardless if a CFitter is in the article's top ten, the top ten would have been better off with CF training. How ingenious!
Have no fear though kids the movement is still going strong:
There are legions of NFL, NBA, NHL, Olympic, MMA mega-champions CrossFitting.
Legions children, CF has now legions of followers. In closing our GWF assures us:
The winner of the CrossFit Games will be the world champion of the "Sport of Fitness" and will have reasonable, supportable, accurate, and precise claim to being a) one of the best athletes on earth, and b) the fittest man/woman/beast alive.
Mrs Couch needs to take the keyboard away immediately before he kills her cash cow. He seriously sounds mental in his writing...
