Beyond Athletics is a podcast born out of the need to discuss the current and past states of athletics and life beyond athletics with the mission of the podcast striving to create a positive and healthy community through athletics, education, and conversation.

The fourth episode of Beyond Athletics explores the ups, downs, and all-arounds of the world of Crossfit and the “confederation” of people who have cultivated cultures that may seem productive and beneficial on paper but are counterintuitive and potentially harmful in practice. Chris reflects upon his own experience with strength and conditioning, diving into topics of power dynamics, cultural norms and standards, Greg Glassman, Dave Castro, and the untold cultures of Crossfit, legacies and putting in the work, morality and community support, sincerity and the world of business, responsibility and accountability in the fitness world, and much more!

Beyond Athletics is a podcast born out of the need to discuss the current and past states of athletics and life beyond athletics with the mission of the podcast striving to create a positive and healthy community through athletics, education, and conversation.

The aim of Beyond Athletics is to talk about the bigger picture for athletes with in-depth topics like finding one’s own tribe in the community of sports, uncovering truth and deception, understanding influence, health - both physical and mental - and emotional behaviors in our own humanity, coaching and mentoring in the modern world, using social media responsibly, designing long-term & short-term development in sports, adjusting to major disruptions, and much more.

Beyond Athletics is hosted by Chris Fluck, long-time multi-sport coach, owner and founder of Brickhouse Strength, and host of The Chris Fluck Podcast. With an extensive career in sports performance, personal coaching, and fitness, Fluck’s career has allowed him the opportunity to cultivate an unique perspective on the world, and there is no better time than now to start discussions about the direction, passion, systems, and influence of sports on athletes’ lives in the real world.

Beyond Athletics is produced by Chris Fluck and Chris Fiegel.
