Reigning CrossFit World Champion Rich Froning is "The Fittest Man on Earth." He's fast, he's strong, and he's incredibly disciplined. But it takes more than physical strength to compete and win at an elite level. It takes incredible mental and spiritual toughness as well. And it is the precise balance of all three that makes Rich Froning a champion.

In First, listeners follow Rich as he trains for and competes in back-to-back CrossFit World Championships. Along the way, Rich shares invaluable training tips, motivational techniques, and spiritual insights that, in keeping with the CrossFit philosophy, will prepare you to respond to any real-life physical, mental, or spiritual challenge.

In 2011, Rich Froning took first place in the CrossFit Games, earning him the title of "Fittest Man on Earth." In 2012, 2013, and 2014, Rich successfully defended his title, becoming the first man ever to win the Games four times. He lives in Tennessee.

David Thomas is coauthor of several books, including the New York Times bestsellers Wrestling for My Life with Shawn Michaels and Foxcatcher with Mark Schultz.
