[LIVE] Why the Standard Matters (EP. 036)
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
We talk about “the standard” in CrossFit all the time — but what does it really mean?
In this livestream, Denise Thomas sits down with Nicole Carroll, Chase Ingraham, and Adrian Conway to get real about what it takes to hold the standard in our gyms and on the competition floor.
The crew digs into where the standard came from, why it matters, and what happens when we don’t uphold it. They’ll break down coaching, defining fitness, and the ultimate goals of health and performance longevity.
Expect a candid conversation about what “holding the standard” actually means, why it matters, and how we’re doing on hitting the goal.
