#8- ft. Lacey Truelove- iF3 World Championships, Experiences as a young INDIVIDUAL athlete, Coaching

The Fitness Experiment

We are pumped to present our first guest on the podcast, Lacey Truelove. Lacey grew up competing in gymnastics and diving, eventually earning a scholarship to The University of Houston for diving. She has qualified for the Olympic trials, and had several other accolades along the way. After diving at Houston she shifted into Crossfit, both competition and eventually coaching. She has qualified for the International Functional Fitness World Championships on two separate occasions. She continues to share her talents and positively influence individuals as a coach at West London Crossfit. In this episode we talk about her experiences competing as high level INDIVIDUAL athlete as a child, teen, and young adult. A much different experience than a team athlete would have. She shares her experiences with different coaches that instilled in her life long values, and values that show up in her coaching methodology to this day. We also discuss the iF3 World Championships, that both Lacey and Jesse recently competed in (on the same team) in London, England. We also dig into the current growth of functional fitness in general, and explore the promising potential of this new sport, what it will look like for competitive athletes, and how it might influence kids and other sports through Canada and beyond.
