Chandler Smith | Leading Beyond the Lead...

Nike
About this episode

CrossFit star Chandler Smith seems to have it all: the muscles and the mindset to challenge himself — and the morality to challenge the status quo by speaking out for equality in his sport. But that doesn’t mean the former U.S. Army soldier (as of this year!) doesn’t have weaknesses like the rest of us. In this episode, CrossFit’s highest-ranked Black athlete reveals his favorite junk foods, his secret to keeping cool under pressure, and his advice for realizing our potential in sport — and life.
