What Really Happened When I Blacked Out at the CrossFit Games

What Really Happened When I Blacked Out at the CrossFit Games

Author: TRAIN HARD Media February 20, 2026 Duration: 11:47

This week Jason shares a story from the 2009 CrossFit Games. Coming off a win the year before, expectations were high. In the middle of an event, he blacked out and hit the floor.

What happened next mattered more than the collapse.

Dave Castro gave him a choice. Stay down or get back up and finish.

This episode isn’t about the moment he passed out. It’s about what adversity does to you. Winning feels good, but pushing through when things fall apart is what actually builds confidence.

Sometimes the setback is the thing that proves to you who you are.

It’s a series grounded in the belief that strength isn’t just physical-it’s built through discipline, clear leadership, and showing up intentionally in all areas of life. Each episode feels like a candid talk between friends, where Jason delves into the mechanics of fitness alongside the broader challenges of fatherhood and cultivating a resilient mindset. The conversations avoid theory and abstraction, focusing instead on the tangible work required to build a capable and purposeful existence. Listeners hear real stories and practical takeaways, often punctuated with laughter, that challenge them to reflect and then move. This isn’t about hype or empty motivation; it’s about the incremental, sometimes messy, work of getting better.
