Description

WheelWOD’s Kevin Ogar joins the podcast from Las Vegas a week before the Adaptive CrossFit Games. 

We trace his path from Missouri “country problem solver” to 2007-era CrossFitter and regional athlete, and then the life-altering OC Throwdown accident that left him paralyzed. 

Kevin opens up about faith, family, and the data-driven grind behind building fair tests for 16 adaptive divisions. 

We talk programming trade-offs, logistics few spectators ever see, and what he wants athletes to remember heading into competition: come prepared for anything and enjoy what the team built for you.
