Speaking
Useful on Monday morning.
The goal is not a motivational spike. It is a clearer way to train, coach, and make decisions after the event is over.
Separate productive intensity from volume that only creates recovery debt.
Recognize the feedback signals that should change the plan before the body forces the issue.
Use clearer decision rules when pressure, fatigue, and uncertainty rise.
Build training systems that respect age and recovery without lowering the performance target.
Real examples. Clear decisions.
Jason draws from competition and coaching to make performance principles practical. The audience leaves knowing what to change, what to stop, and what to measure next.
Speaking Topics
Train Hard. Recover Smarter.
How serious athletes can keep pushing performance without turning every season into a recovery debt problem. Training load, recovery systems, and the discipline to adjust before the body forces the issue.
Your Members Are Over 35. Is Your Programming?
Why scaling down work written for the competitive outlier is not the same as programming for Masters athletes—and what coaches can change in loading, volume, recovery, and progression.
The Mental Game of Competition
Drawing from counseling psychology and competitive poker, the psychological demands of competing well — managing pressure, staying disciplined, and making calibrated decisions under stress.
From Stuck To World Class
I started CrossFit at 38, overweight and sedentary. By 50, seven world titles. The failures, the rebuilds, and the principles that made the difference for anyone serious about changing the trajectory.
