HWPO at the 2023 CrossFit Games: BTS with MAT and KATRIN

[@melissaj1694]

So happy for Kat and so amazing to see the true passion Mat has for his athletes.

[@brighteyes1016]

I am so happy for Kat! Glad to see her back, but she's not just back. She's gaining and growing! Phenomenal!

[@morrisseychiropractic9892]

It was so exciting to see her progress finally after YEARS of seeing her not improving despite her world class work ethic. Now she has the right team I’m so excited to see her reach her full potential

[@brighteyes1016]

@@morrisseychiropractic9892 Totally agree!!

[@isabelphillips6399]

Oh my gosh!!!! I love this. Two legends together killing it. Come back next year PLEASE. I love and respect you both for what you have given and continue to give to the sport.

[@lalampen]

She showed up... worked hard... and made HERSELF proud. #hwpoforlife

[@Fikowski]

The best part about being the temporary strategic advisor to the assistant coach is if the athlete crushes the workout, you can claim some credit, but also you are shielded from taking any blame. It's all upside baby haha!!

[@kgawlik]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it many times over, this partnership is MAGIC!!!! Freaking LOVE seeing these two working together again!

[@tadeorodriguez6577]

This is PHENOMENAL content, guys! Kat is truly a fighter and her comeback this year was amazing.

[@mia1739]

This was really well made! Mat and Katrin are an iconic duo! So cool to see him coach her.

[@mateusfernando5847]

That's amazing. I have mad respect for both. The coolest part for me is knowing that an outstanding and accomplished athlete, Kat, is still humble to learn and improve her technique.

[@rowwinemastersrowing434]

Tears! Freakin loved it Wykie what a legend you are. Still crying from the ending…… 👌🏼 Congrats Kat

[@rodm49]

I’m convinced Katrin had it all along, she was just stuck in a program that she’s comfortable with, that didn’t catch up to the programming each year. Also, Katrin and Mat’s dynamic seems like a good formula to get her off that comfortable spot and push her hard. Brother and Sister relationship

[@hunterwinslow780]

Their friendship is beyond sweet. I love seeing this side of the sport and Mat. ❤

[@IvanHadlich]

I love these HWPO's "diaries", got into CrossFit again mainly because of Mat and his work. Fun fun fun

[@johnandres4580]

So cool seeing the relationship of coach and athlete. Especially with Katrin making such a big come back this year. She is an OG that we are all always pulling for. She is super impressive.

[@gonzalogayoso5555]

2 souls that met in the right time. Katrin & Mat . U are quite something!

[@gillyc15]

Mat you’re a living legend. Watching you in the free CrossFit game documentaries on KZbin changed the way I work out. You’re a inspiration👏🏼

[@86emmy53]

Yes, Mat and Kat! A great come back! Bring on 2024.

[@sometimesising1016]

Thank you for this. Friendship is beautiful.❤

[@stucooper4132]

Such an incredible vibe with her, Mat and the HWPO team. Well done Katrin

[@GraveyFit]

Katrin was amazing this year. Hands down favorite athlete! I think Coach/Dad Matt is the best. So great to see the passion and excitement. Cannot wait to see what the year brings for the whole team.

[@katefoster9743]

What a beautiful ending Wykie - loved the music to the soundtrack with the emotion from Kat. Congrats Kat - you are a legend! 💪🏻🙏🏻

[@sierrabergsgaard5314]

Can someone please count all the hugs and high-fives in this video! Love seeing Kat back at it

[@NoirValkyrie]

Literally my two favorite crossfit athletes. Its the crossover we all needed

[@TheMrjeffreyryan]

This is literally the best coolest video ever ❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@michaelwright9101]

Damn. What a great video. It was really cool getting to see Kat get back out there and do so well. Looking forward to seeing how far she can take it next year.

[@triscuba17]

Really happy to see this amazing athlete back in the top 10. What a fighter

[@facelen4321]

This is really the first "behind the scenes" interesting I have seen this year so far. The relationship coach athlete says a lot about what they go through. Really great.

[@Gaiartemis]

I get excited when Mat gets excited. What a great VLOG. Nice job Kat!!!

[@williamkuhn9409]

This was incredibly well done and put together, what an insane story, I believe in Fraser as a coach and so awesome to see Kat giving everything she had into this season, so proud of her

[@tarns77]

Its so good to see Kat back in the top 10, but its amazing to see a differnt side of Mat as a coach. How much he cares about his athetes is heartwarming.

[@divineflygirl]

So extremely happy for Kat and the HWPO team! I loved seeing the conversations between Kat and the other athletes.

[@josephgambill3754]

This has been a really great video. The intro was phenomenal. I love the team/family atmosphere. I want to houn HWPO.

[@Jpelo1011]

This was just SOOOOO PURE, in effort, in dedication, in fighting your way back, and of all, LOVE. Great video. Eyes were for SURE watery throughout this.

[@claudiubalint1494]

Huhhh goosebumps, what a special relationship between athlete & coach, two stars, Katrin & Mat!!!

[@silver292]

What partnership. Total respect and trust in each other. Amazing.

[@NoelNole1221]

So cool to see the Games from this perspective, so cool

[@bla2mb]

only started but the video quality is amazing congrats to whoever filmed and edited this its the best ive seen so far

[@92ellese]

Absolutely amazing video, Wykie! So different to all the other behind the scenes. I loved it! Well done to Katrin and Mat! What a beautiful relationship they have.

[@1kontrabida]

Congrats to Matt, Kat and the whole HWPO team...I believe it is alot harder for someone whos been to the top twice than for someone whos on their way to the top. its not easy to motivate someone whos been there because their mind says theres nothing to prove they've been there and their body is telling them their tired of the years of training yet alone break the old habits and introduce new ones so props to all and to the videographer who was task to bring us in with this journey again not easy but u captured all our undivided attention for 47:09 minutes. Thank You!

[@davidlantman3977]

Amazing year Kat. Hard work does pay off. Vermont loves you guys!

[@josegiron7008]

I gotta say I'm becoming more and more impressed by matts business mindset and what he is building with HWPO

[@djsgolfer714]

the fact that kat has been so fit for so long blows my mind

[@minnesotawyatt2821]

This Vid earned a place in the 'Top 10 Cross Fit Inspirational Videos' category.

[@jparreno]

Loved seeing Katrin getting tips from Canadian Elite FIkowski (Temporary Strategic Advisor to the Assistant Coach)& Vellner... and of course coach Mat... absolutely epic.

[@autumnlee9825]

Im not crying youre crying!! So happy for the return of one of my faves!! Sled Dog!

[@benc9979]

I’m not crying, you’re crying Great work Kat and Mat

[@Miiiiiiighty]

This is great, I'd love to see how Kat develops with one more year under Mat's guidance, especially in the weightlifting dpt. 7th is great but I think she can do way better, like he said, she needs more confidence in her own fitness

[@AvantiHunter]

Mat you are such a great person, I have huge respect for everything you do ❤❤❤

[@JCB2101]

Can’t wait to see what Mat and Kat accomplish this year!!! Kat was a Beast this year💪🏻

[@MaxTyco]

Fantastic documentary….i think people have lost a connection with CrossFit and certainly the athletes these past few years. But for the likes of Kat and others of her time there remains that connection. So glad she did well and hope she comes back stronger next year.

[@juliansmith6421]

Love this inside look into the training and work by Katrin and Mat! 💪

[@-s442]

Fun to watch Katrin. And Sammy looks awesome.

[@theparadisesnare]

HWPO are the easiest peeps to root for. What a great group of legends. Happy to see Katrin find a great home and start thriving again! Edit: Maggie from Athlete Control seems like a great human. Shout out to Maggie

[@joshgodinez874]

Maggie is awesome!!

[@PrimalPetersen]

[@wykieetsebeth]

❤

[@fitnessmattersnow]

So happy for your progress and accomplishments this year!!

[@karlimcclendon4481]

I didn’t know she was training with Matt! When I watched the games I was so happy for her and how well she performed and improved. Another year of this and Kats on the podium next year!

[@cpthornman]

Katrin's form, especially in her lifting looks WAY better. I had a feeling this was going to be a great move for her.

[@emmiauranen]

Amazing content! Thank you for this. Looking forward to 2024, wow!

[@ekulikow]

Its no about the setback ... its about the comeback ... and Katrin had an amazing comeback. LFG!!

[@benital165]

So cool to see Mat's passion for his athletes

[@gtyah]

I'm so glad for you that you found your new way, and that you are still in this game. I know it's goddamn hard to make the switch, but as you alreay saw, there is always a trigger for the new life :) congrats for you, your family and the athletes that want to be part of the team

[@yartriesthis]

Amazing Doc, Katrin is back!

[@thapeloafrika6459]

Excellent documentary you guys came across brilliantly genuinely passionate about what your doing 👏👏👌

[@swat486]

Cool to see Mat play both roles with Kat; friend and coach. “Wear a watch” “You want to fuck”. 😂😂😂

[@tiphaineoliveirareis8531]

Hard work does pay off !

[@Franco-yo6vn]

Mat went full Dad mode with the mustache! It is so cool to see sammy working out through her pregnancy!

[@maddiekalt8831]

“I recommend next event for all events from here on out, you wear a f*cking watch.” 😂 love watching Mat as a coach! Also I’m loving this new Kat, HWPO was the move for sure 🔥🔥🔥

[@NewPhoneWhoDs]

Those guys are natural athletes!

[@jnmvem]

Good job 👏🏾 ❤ Mat & Kat so inspiring

[@lemkeant]

Mat - as a Dad of twin little boys, be careful what you wished for. Check back in with us in a month and then we'll see if you still wished you had twins or not 😀 However, congrats to you and Sammy and best of luck with with everything in the future!

[@MegCharla]

Why do I lose it whenever I watch Mat get emotional 😂

[@medranoa1490]

28:30 That guy did not like when Mat cursed 🤣
