Be Ready For Anything In Life
Faith and Competition
As Rich Froning Jr. stepped out onto the competition floor at the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games, many wondered what was written on his shoes. He says it was a line from scripture focused on the crucifixion of Christ.
"If I ever got tired and looked down at my shoe, I was kinda like, ya know, 'This is nothing compared to what he went through for us,'" says the world's fittest man.
Dan Bailey, who finished sixth at last year's Games, says that during competition he thinks about what he's grateful for.
"It's not all about where you finish. It's about the effort you give," he explains. "You can easily put yourself in the position where, 'Well, I'm not going to win, so why try?' And that's the complete wrong attitude to have ... in anything in life. You have to do the best with what you have and do the best with what you're given."
Both men say God has given them gifts, and they understand that it's not all about them.
"I figure this is my way to glorify him in all that I do," Froning says.

From Crossfit Journal: In Part 3, Froning shares his thoughts on defending his CrossFit Games crown in 2012. "It's not that you have to be the best at anything; you just can't suck at anything. I sucked at a rope climb and what happened?" he says, referencing his 2010 performance at the Games, when he finished second partially due to a lack of efficient technique on rope climbs. "CrossFit's not...

From Crossfit Journal: For the fittest man on Earth, life is pretty normal: a wife, a dog, a house. In Part 1 of this five-part series, we get inside Rich Froning Jr.'s Tennessee home and learn more about the man who this year became the first two-time CrossFit Games champion. For starters, Froning's wife, Hillary, doesn't do CrossFit. "She's good for me. Keeps me level-headed, that's for sure,...
Goooood old days
HILARY IS SO ANNOYING> HOW DOES RICH PUT UP WITH THAT PERSONALITY LIKE REALLY>
amazing man, family...theres a scene where they are so cute together,,"I got stung by a bee scene..."
She definitely is the one who got herpes
5:10 he did not wash he's hands 😂
1:57 is the secret :D
The old wooden ship reference 😂😂
I has had a fortune cookie the said the Jeremiah quote and it brought me to tears because I know it's true!
Float like a butterfly, stab like a stick.
How i could give more than one like!!! That guy is a model for every good thing!!!
In a big fan
Your a crack up bro😂😂
truly amazing!!! post more!
Song at the end?
Stop.. Mr. Bee Sting... haha great comeback Hillary
Was it a wild bee? LMAO
How did they make that pond blue?it looks man made but somehow cleaner that most man made ponds
Nice
Hahaha I often crack Anchorman references and nobody gets them.
Great dude but he didn't wash his hands😂😂😂😂
Your peeing it's not that bad.
YIP I THOUGHT THAT TOO> EWWWWW
This is the beauty of CrossFit, two of the fittest living in the same house. Do you imagine Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi living together? don't think so....
Hes a good guy but he does juice
+Chris R you are uneducated
+Will Sullivan Thanks
;)
hes a good guy AND he does juice. just like 85% of all professional athletes in almost every sport
Screw You Google I agree, someone tell Will he needs educating
What a jerk..driving whilst phoning??? This kills people!!!!!
lol Welcome to Tennessee. It was totally legal when this was recorded.
***** It's deadly and he is a total tosser! Steroid abuser Froning!
David J ...Thanks for that. I've learnt so much from you.
Do one..asswipe!
David J You're a real credit to all your friends and family. I feel privileged to have had this conversation with you. Take care.
Does Rich Froning fancy himself a prophet of sorts?
Why do you ask that?
Double burger w fries, mayo, soda, ketchup, mustard......but no bun , just so I can maintain my douchiness
Fries and condiments aren't that bad. And he prob had water in the Pepsi cup
buns are worse than fries?
just love dan's bottle
keep on pressing forward in the faith!
Awesome video. The lake, very busy life he has and i love it. Cool and quite life.
"""naturally""" gifted... yeah right...
what's that supposed to mean?
what do you think?, would you bet he's 100% clean of any ilegal substances?.. why all this bullshit of "I do this for christ" when we all know he not only does it for himself, but in a shameful way (using drugs to win...) But then again he's crossfit champion you know, no one is going to let him be discovered or else everything falls apart... or at least a big part of it..
+psyxex listen man all I see from this is that u can't believe this guy can do what he does simply by doing it for Christ I completely and 100% believe he is clean don't hate on this guy man he's different from other athletes
Well Felix, I'm sorry to hear you're that naive man... It does not matter if he does it for christ or for his dog, he's full of shit by setting the wrong example. Good luck on believing everything you hear man...!
+psyxex same for you man
i want more of these videos about faith!!!!
Did he not wash his hands? 4:45
+Matthew Clark O.o
How long have Dan and Rich known each other?
I can see from the first minute why ladies love him
xD Oh my gosh, Hilary is so adorable.
holy crap the meals at the beginning were BOSS
lmao what did Dan say for her to tell him to watch himself?
He asked, is it a fever blister?
what they drink at the morning???
Pre workout or protein shake maybe.
it looks like amino bcaa. or maybe proteinshake with water?
+Herbert Larsen I actually use that same stuff. The bigger jug is whey, maybe isolate and that's what Rich drank with milk. The green is the NO-XPLODE pre workout, watermelon flavor is what I got.
Justin Haugse i search somethink what i can drink in the morning because milk is not so good to digest
My 8th 9th and 10th grade years I lived in McMinnville, now I'm a junior in college living back in Pennsylvania (where I grew up)...man, do I miss Tennessee. Hopefully one day I can return back south, perhaps live on the outside of murfreesburo.
Mad respect for Rich's belief in Jesus!!
"did anyone get that?" he looks so sad that no one got that Ron Burgundy reference hahaha
Although I totally agree with what there saying, I would note that God does say it's very important to live in community with each other, because God knew as well as anyone does... we can't do life on our own. Church can be a great way to facilitate that. But, as I'm sure it's well documented, the church 'thing' can be done very very wrong.
Their fight is so awesome! "If I can't have a bee sting you can't have a blister!" hahahaha
Her accent is hilariously awesome
Rich is not a good singer tho lol
Cross fit, only through what Jesus did on the cross can we be fit.
it looks like they are double stuffing his wife
every day is summer in tennesse?
Absolutely Inspiring.
thats not a beesting, its a trensting
Religion is a group of people getting together following a believe thought by men. Faith is the substance of what you believe ( the Bible), and the assurance of what you don't see. Example Believing in God as a Creator and Jesus as His son. You haven't see any of them but you believe he exist and that Jesus died for our sins. living is faith its loving God with all your heart and all your soul and loving your neighbor as your owned self. (simple as that) Not what people said about God, but what God says in his word. and you will said; but the bible was written by men, yes it was written by men because God didn't find an animal that could write. (just a joke don't take it personal)
Such a great man ! you're a true inspiration for me, and for a lot of people Rich! God bless you and you're family !
