2024 Games athlete - Emma Lawson

Had a nice conversation with Emma about her competitive history and how bright her future is in the sport. At 19 she competed in 3 age group divisions and her final age year she decided to compete as an individual instead. Last year she was 2nd. She talks about how the pressure that comes with that.

Her maturity, sensibility, and outlook are remarkable.

They're as remarkable as the guy is creepy

Emma will be around for a long time. So humble and relatable. Great interview

I’ve loved seeing Emma be so real. As a past CF Kids coach and mum of now 3 girls, i hope she keeps finding the fun. CrossFit ‘Games’… enjoy playing. You can see she’s been brought up with all the positives from the methodology. Well done to her family.. thank you Dave, I’ve watched every interview, it definitely has been great!

Rooting for you Emma! You’re amazing, have a big vacation after the games! 🎉 you deserve it.

[@birgittamattson6154]

Emma will continue to do well as she is a tough competitor

[@perrinbehr9436]

The youngest athlete to compete at Semifinals was Reese Littlewood (17) who is coached by John Warnek. They’re not technically a part of the Training think tank camp but they have visited, trained with us, and very much considered TTT family!

These short video interviews were a great idea! Really enjoying them.

Good for Dave to talk to the athletes and get to know them. And as for Emma - always great and fun. Stay free of injuries, Emma!!!

[@AleZ66]

Emma, you are amazing, no matter what! 🩷

[@hunterfrizzelle1946]

[@michaelpinkney6338]

Way to represent Canada!

[@Olddogger]

Great interview! Go Emma!

[@XxIamForgivenxXTV]

Each new video has me rooting for a new athlete. Love that this sport is filled with such great people!

[@camillemontoya773]

I've listened to every songle interview and this one is my favorite. You did an amazing job interviewing since you actually helped her to think of the games as fun instead of focusing on the expectations. I hope she brings that mentality to the games.

[@LeslieScott12]

Emma! You are an incredible human being! Keep being true to yourself and your beauty shine! Go Emma!!

[@amba-energy]

Emma - You a worthy - just as you are! You are more than a placement on the leaderboard. I hope you are getting the help & time you need to work through your mental struggles to find what you love about you, as a person and not the athlete.

[@babisandes]

She is great!

[@MarcosSilva-yr5ot]

best in the world.

[@chilledmonkeebrains]

It’s not the best plan to put that “ the future champion” pressure on her. Just let her roll without crushing expectations

[@greggeis918]

Curious if these athletes ever talk to each other about those struggles being competitors. I’m sure it’s natural for most super competitive athletes, but seems really pronounced (or maybe just more vocalized) by the very successful athletes coming straight from the teens to professional. Haley Adams, Mal both were pretty much derailed working through it. It’s a brutal profession to be all in. I imagine it’s especially difficult when your transition to adulthood is being all in juggling school and working out and never really getting a chance to live life outside of all in.
