"Fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds’ worth of distance run" "If" by Rudyard Kipling

Want to know a dirty secret about sports? The majority of athletes at the minor levels of the major sports or in lesser-known competitions don’t earn enough from the sport to make ends meet. Many of these athletes have full-time jobs, even in-season, in order to support themselves and pursue their goal of making it to the “bigs.” This is the reality facing thousands of athletes in the still-evolving sport of CrossFit, and it’s why my next guest on Did You Know that? is really someone to emulate.

Nicole Soto has a master’s degree; she co-owns a CrossFit gym; she coaches group classes and personal clients, and she’s a highly respected nutritionist. In her spare moments, she spends time with her husband and two dogs and prepares herself to compete at the highest levels of CrossFit. In her first year back competing, Nicole finished among the top 200 fittest women in the world. So, if you want to get past your excuses, you’ve come to the right place.
