At just 17 years of age Tadhg Lawless has competed at the highest level of competition his sport has to offer. Earlier this year he qualified and competed in the coveted CrossFit games. Training his mind and body everyday for three years straight paid off when he was ranked second in the world after the second of three qualifying rounds. Then amidst his training for open he got news that no amount of training could prepare him for. His mother who he credits his mental toughness to was diagnosed with breast cancer. Tadhg responded

to this by not only qualifying for the games but the going out and hitting multiple personal bests in competition and placing 15th in the world. In this conversation we discuss the foundations that built his character, the feeling of raising the Irish flag at the games, rubbing shoulders with the fittest athletes in the world, on the brink of dying at the games & his plans to become the fittest on earth.
