    I ran a Sports Performance Center on the island of Tenerife for 7 years. In these years I have seen professional Hockey Players, Judo Athletes (BTW: I´d put my money on these freaks) or even Swimmers (yes! Swimmers!) who would have a serious shot in winning certain strength comps at the CF Games or even the overall comp. Olympic athletes are still ahead of the game by a long shot...

    Scott Panchick was a DIII RB and we know how competitive he was. EZ Muhammad was a DI Basketball player and got into crossfit because Rich Froning was the strength coach there. Endurance is key but if the Crossfit games payout was much more you would see some freak athletes come out to compete. Look at Matt Fraser... He was an Olympic junior WL

    Since CrossFit will never pay like the NFL, or any top tier pro sport, we will never know. CrossFit will never pay to attract the best of the best.

    • @tnakatak
      @tnakatak Před 4 měsíci

      One thing to look for are college athletes that couldn't quite make it to the pros. If they did well in CrossFit, that might indicate that elite athletes in their sport would do even better.

    • @dvdjks
      @dvdjks Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@tnakatak Yes, but college athletes that couldn’t quite make it in the pros will make more money doing almost anything other than CrossFit. Hard work pays off, but CrossFit doesn’t.

    Great video. Very well researched and thought through.
    Agree with your take on Saquan Barkley. He's a massive outlier, even for the NFL.
    And just from a numbers point of view, it's likely there are several NFL, MLB, MLS players who are well suited to CrossFit and could compete with the best elite Crossfitters. Not so much the NBA for obvious reasons.

  • @coryt2459
    @coryt2459 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Solid video but you can’t be serious about saquon not being able to attain the endurance of these dudes. This guy totes the ball 20-30 times a game. If he trained for endurance and power, he would destroy the field.

    • @GardySanchez511
      @GardySanchez511 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I 100% see your perspective here, but you can’t be serious in thinking that 20-30 carries a game in which each of those plays ranges 5-30 seconds compares to being able to sustain higher levels of heart rate and effort for minutes at a time. Saquon has an undeniable advantage with strength which would allow him to sacrifice some of that top end strength to build that endurance base -- no question about it. But it would take him a good 6 months to build that sort of baseline and even then it probably wouldn’t be close to enough to compete with the top guys of this sport across all these events. Check out the Gui Malheiros video that this guy posted! Might give you a different outlook

    • @yetekt6953

      He carries the ball a lot but those are short not even close to the endurance cross fit athletes need.

    Strength events are only a part of the games, and many of the other events would be down to practice. It’s an all rounder event. But anyone from mayor fitness sports could realign the Crossfit top 10 with practice.

    Why would a NFL player want to compete in CrossFit? Average NFL contract $860,000/year! Cool video nonetheless.

    Why bother? Not enough reward for amount training that is needed to win the games. Better off using some CrossFit to help you win a Super Bowl.

    Of course not. Maybe qualify after years of grinding only CrossFit and even there.

    • @zavdon242
      @zavdon242 Před 4 měsíci

      You think if an NFL player spends years focusing only on CF that they will only be a threat to qualify. Nah bro a professional NFL athlete already has a lot of CrossFit ability strength, speed, flexibility, capacity and the ability to suffer they've been doing that since like 8. You take them to a Froning or Frazer for a solid year of CF focused training and you have a top 10 athlete. After multiple years they would be battling for podium.

    • @ajkeence81
      @ajkeence81 Před 4 měsíci

      ​@@zavdon242 I don't agree. They don't have anywhere near the capacity. They don't work on the type of capacity that many Crossfit Games workouts require. NFL players could specialize in some events but to build the ability to do well at all of them is a different animal. He mentions Gui Malheiros in the video who is ridiculously strong and didn't even qualify for the games last year.
