More Than An Athlete (CrossFit Documentary)

- čas přidán 9. 06. 2024
- 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

This content level is unmatched, it's insane doing this as a current champion still competing. Appreciate all you do Moose & Team.
Much more to come 💪💪
Really stepping his game up a ton
This was great! Grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the piece. Good reminder for me post Games that I accomplished cultivating joy for myself and my people, regardless of my finish.
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.
You are wise beyond your age Mitchel. You are not just an advocate for Strongman, but for health and fitness over all. A huge inspiration!
Appreciate you 💪
Dr. Hooper knows his stuff. Not that surprising. :)
This gives me Strength Unknown vibes from Martins channel and I love it! It's awesome to see Strongmen using their social media followings to put the spotlight on other athletes, people, and cultures through well put together content. So much inspiration, perspective, and knowledge to be gained. Thank you!
I’ve been watching all the content you’ve been putting out with crossfitters! So excited to see it all come together!
Much more to come 👀
Thank you for trying and working so hard to help so many people in so many ways Mitchell. Its very nice to see you try and use your platform to help individuals with very real life concerns. Your commitment to your vision of becoming friends with people, listening and helping how you can is impressive.
This is so refreshing to watch. No gimmicks, or noise, just a heartfelt look into the lives of these amazing athletes.
Through your genuine life questions, we were allowed to relate to them on a human level.
Great video!
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.
As a Professor and amateur powerlifter myself I connect to Mr.Mitchell Hooper on a different tangent.
Totally getting his Enthusiasm to learn, spread knowledge always eager to educate and get educated,constantly upgrading himself, humble all the time and getting to know inside out of different sports is truly commendable.
His kid inside is different level.
Its always good seeing you and ur content. Stay happy and strong brother. 🐼🐼
Man you never stop to surprise us. You're so much more than a strongman. Your strength is really your mentality, wisdom, positivity. All in the head. The range of things you covered on your channel recently is just unbelievable. I'm so looking forward to years of unexpected greatness of all kind
I never even watched a full strongman competition but the emergence of this man is dope. Lately my new favorite channel
Only just found your channel, and as a crossfitter and oly weightlifter, you're doing SO much to break down the walls between different strength sports and fitness communities. Cannot wait to see more of what you bring.
One of the best videos about CrossFit ever published, thank you!
This is incredible! Can’t wait for more - always killing it in whatever you do 💪🏼
Sick content Mitchell! your a legend for making this series!
Finally someone who brings the sports together and not hating against Crossfit or strongman! GREAT GREAT CONTENT! Thx a million!
I loved this documentary! Thank you for putting this together!
This is great content here. The timing of this being published couldn’t have been any better. Revolutionary if you ask me. Your channel is quickly becoming my CZcams home. Keep going brother. I’m here for every story.
Love it I’m a crossfit athlete started in 2012 love it so much I worked at Reebok to get into crossfit I’m 41 now and I love it now I’m a crossfit L1 coach and I love seeing ppl of all ages get fit and be the better version of themselves love this documentary
Truly epic video here, lots of insights to be extracted from it and cool to see you perform along with these top notch athletes! Big fan here Mitch, be well my friend! :)
Best ambassador of the sport strongman has ever had
This is so well put together. Love having the chance to see behind the scenes and how some of the greatest athletes on the planet feel going through their journey. Well done man!
Giving Martins a run for his money in the strength documentary world. Great video love it!
Maybe we'll get an Avengers style crossover one day 😁
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.
That was awesome and wholesome! Thank you for this! Keep that great content coming.
You did a great job with this! Thanks for putting it out there.
This is incredible. Thank you.
Great video! Love how you actually listen to the people you're speaking with. Interesting to get inside the heads of these athletes and get a glimpse of what makes them tick. Keep it up!
The very best CrossFit documentary I’ve ever watched.♥️
What an absolute piece of rare uncut gem of a human being you are Mitchell.
Loved the questions you asked them. Good to hear about their mindset and why! Thanks.
Noticed that they strive to be the fittest people they can be, not just the *_physically_* fittest!
There's so much more to creating a life able to carry you through many different kinds of hardship. 🌱
Exactly 💪
This is extremely high quality content. Wow. Blown away... and inspired!
Amazing brother, super inspiring. You really have a way of putting into words and bringing out from other people the best explanation of the purpose of an athlete. Really opened my eyes, keep up the great work!
Loved this. Thank you Mitchell!
Phenomenal video. Well captured. Keep doing you! 💪
Glad you enjoyed it 💪💪
Great documentary showing a deeper level of the athletes than you see on the competition floor. Loved this!
That opening comment really hit me knowing that the Pro’s don’t really know them selves what is it all for. Yeah I love training and do it everyday, but I do ponder sometimes asking my self what is it all for ❤
A really excellent outside perspective on the community man, I love it! (Also jeez your pace on those burpee box jumps! 😳)
Such a great way to display the other side of a sports athlete. Keep it up, Moose.
Did all this and still podium’d at Royal Albert Hall. Can’t wait to see what goes down at Shaw. Very exciting!
Great work putting this content together!!
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..
I'm the exact same, waiting on another surgery that's keeping me out of my field hockey playing career but coaching keeps me going & is so rewarding
Thanks for this. Great documentary!
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.
That was absolutely fantastic!
I liked who you were and what you were doing before this came out. Now I’m a fan. Good stuff man! 🤙🏻💪🏻
They're the most down to earth and motivated people. I'm always inspired by them to do and get through things even when I'm tired, sad, happy. It's the self discipline
Absolutely love this!! What wonderful insights and takeaways.
Great video bro, loved this and seeing you smashing it with them. I would have loved to chatting to legends as well though like Tia, Matt n Rich. Love your work.
Top notch video, you’re an inspiration to all 👍 keep up the great work
nice one mitchell hooper👌👌👌
Quality work! This is an awsome documentary.
Thank you! Extremely well done. We need more videos as the the 'why' of the athlete.
Super well done! Loved it!
Wow. This was wonderful and a real insight to the athletes as people. More please!
Love this style of content Mr. Hooper
I LOVED this episode. Such a great look into other athletes and what they are willing to go thorough. Loved when the one said, that there are days where you don't want to work out. Like it's ok to be human lol. Thanks again sir!
Mitchell, this is genuine brilliance! Fantastic video, such an inspiration!
Appreciate you 🙏🙏
Really awesome video. Great production
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.
Really great documentary👌 thanks!
Mr.Hooper thank you for your insight of people. This was a magical documentary.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was great!! Especially nice to hear more of Roman's back story
Great video, compliments to your editor
Awesome stuff. Would love to see more like this 👌
Amazing content, you're a very admirable athlete and human being overall. Big fan from Brazil. Keep it up
This was really well made. Great video :)
MY MAN WAS LESS THAN 1 HOUR FROM ME IN TN! So sad to know I missed him! I love your content bro! I love the view you are bringing to these sports and just life in general! The raw true just “regular guy” element of it all is what draws me! And my wife loves your content for the same reason, she actually doesn’t make THAT face when I wanna watch your videos haha💁🏽♀️😹 I Love It Brother! It’s truly awesome!💪🏾🔥 Much Love Fam!💪🏾🔥❤️
This is one hell of a video, god damn motivating but really inspirational. Love it, just what I needed today being wrecked from my workout on sunday😂
Simply awesome a documentary that touches on the human aspect of being an athlete 👏
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
This is phenomenal.
I'm just watching this before my workout for motivation.
I've really enjoyed your content and I've shared your journey to strongman with friends which I found really interesting and I definitely think you could do an even more in-depth video around that.
Thank you

More to come 💪💪
