Past, Present & Future | Katrin Davidsdottir & Mat Fraser

Mat and Katrin have a lot of great history. They were friends and training partners back in the early days of Mat's career. They shared victories on the Games floor in 2016 and have remained friends over the years even as training plans evolved. Now, Mat sits in Katrin's corner as Coach and Katrin has joined the HWPO Training team as a HARD WORKER. Enjoy as these two reminisce about the days of past, talk about the present and share hopes for the future.

Katrin’s positivity is endearing and draws all of us in. Truly an ambassador of not just a sport but an ambassador for what we should all try to be. Thanks for bringing in the light Katrin.

[@stucooper4132]

Katrin is just a good person. Im excited to see how she goes after joining HWPO. Would love to see her win gold at the Crossfit Games this year

[@tlmc9202]

more of this please. knowing they have a history of friendship and training (and winning together) made this the best interview so far

[@fjsunny5726]

Not gonna lie. Katrin is my favorite crossfit athlete. I'm always on repeat watching such events where she won Like Fibonacchi, Chaos, Handtand walk, Ringer, ranch loop, etc.

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Katrin is truly a remarkable human being. I am confident that her future will be beyond her own and everyone's ability to imagine.

[@peachstate08]

2 of my favorite CrossFit ppl :) Love they are working together. Wish Katrin the best during the games :) she has been on such a great journey thru the years.

[@liftingforsweets501]

I would LOVE to see Mat talk with more CrossFit games athletes like this even if they aren’t a part of HWPO. Like Brent, Pat, BKG, Annie or Sara!

[@RogueCylon]

Pretty sure it’s the reason for the studio. Come visit the facility, interview and workout.

[@shanesykes6864]

Can these vids be found anywhere as a podcast

[@sarahwrenger7067]

I started studying medicine when I was 32 and I never regretted it for one second. I wouldn’t let age dictate that decision, if it’s something you really want. I highly doubt Katrin will read this, but maybe someone, who thinks they are to old for something, is. There are definitely things you can’t be as good at un your 30s than in your 20s. But something like studying medicine… there it’s just a cultural thing and nothing that should hold one back if they really want to do it. :)

[@VIEW-ut3bu]

I have no one around me that even remotely of a similar heart or mindset. And they actually feel like nemesis. I have disheartened greatly because it makes my efforts actually wasted. Now I have to adapt to these conditions. Because I know it is worth it when I see people like these two and the many others pushing this life. In a different world, where I am. Good, cuz I do not want to stay here.

[@BeingaFarmWife]

Yes!!! The conversation we all wanted. 👏👏👏👏

[@Matakoshi]

Mat and Katrin, my 2 favourite people from Crossfit. :-D I'm excited to see how Katrin does now she's with HWPO!

[@Martinborough-villageNz]

This is great! Love hearing their history and insights. More please!

[@orlakelly8548]

Would LOVE to see one with Tia, talking about their training days together

[@charmedbychelssea2113]

😢 I don’t think they are friends anymore

[@elizabethlanders6252]

By far my most favorite interview so far ❤ good stuff

[@LiftBro.Apparel]

She is great! People need to stop talking crap about her!

[@Nate-bw7jq]

Genuinely curious....who ever talked ill on her? Only time i ever saw negativity toward her was when ppl wanted her to get away from bergeron

[@alipresler]

FAVORITE episode so far ❤

[@TGPrince666]

Gonna keep this till HWPO training tomorrow and listen to it (probably twice back to back )

[@cameronsmith92]

Great conversation! Can't wait to see Katrin at the games.

[@brittanyhodder-y3z]

Love this! Would love a video like this with mat and tia and the bubs !

[@LeanneHorsley-m8r]

More of this please 😊

[@fxu5618]

My favorite CrossFitter, keep the Katrin content coming, loved the video!

[@SpicyCookieMonster99]

Loved it! Watched it twice. Can we have more of this please.

[@kevinwallace2449]

This was great, didn’t want it to end.

[@lisahunt59]

Great to hear Katrin talk about Dr. Stacy Sims. She’s a brilliant person (and a very close friend of mine) and has done so much to raise the level of female athletes and research 💪. #womenarenotsmallmen

[@WayneGlass1]

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED

[@nicoleheitzman4460]

You are both such an inspiration ❤❤❤❤

[@tomateuncafeconjesus1030]

Me encanta este contenido y con dos de mis atletas favoritos, talves uno con malori estaría súper bien

[@franz6611]

Yeeeeeessss , thank you. More please

[@EatonBeaver123]

How big of a role did Ben play in your games success?

[@fih5409]

Matt has such good memory

[@Rubenhood97]

Mat Fraser still my hero Big mindset

[@scotthan760]

It’s crazy how they used to compete against each other!

[@josephgambill3754]

Loved this

[@brighteyes1016]

Katrin is my inspiration!

[@wtam1100]

Two legends of the game chatting it up. What is there not to like.

[@andygriffith2005]

Thank you Jesus.$32,000 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!

[@markwilliams3480]

Wow, I'm surprised you mentioned and recommended Mrs Paula Mary Allen . well I don't have much to say about her but I'll advice newbie to place their trade under her services.

[@ericdugans.]

For over a month, I have been hearing about her, How can someone reach out to Paula Mary Allen ?!!

[@ericdugans.]

​@Enzo Ines Thanks I'll just sent her a message NOW! this is huge opportunity for me

[@zeusfitter007]

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏼

[@NikkiNexo777]

This is the first time i've ever seen her speak. What a sweet lady.

[@adgarfunkel]

Great Video.

[@ashleysouffrant1320]

I liked before I watched ^-^ #HWPO

[@dipiesse72sg]

[@ВесемирЧорновус]

Hello, what are your impressions of the start of the crossfit games?

[@paolobeqiraj8851]

Put Sam Kwant on the mic please

[@facelen4321]

Well I don't understand one thing here. Ok Ben Bergeron is "competiton" now (???). Mat don't talk about the importance he had on his mental game (which was a real problem for him - his words). Ok it was not a long time, etc, etc. But Katrin, my god! She tells her story and also don't mention him! She was living for years with the Bergerons! She always recognized his importance. Before the rope thing tha happened to her in Regionals, he had a major importance on her career. She told that story many times and she was a 2 times winner having him as a coach. And now... nothing! Not cool.

[@superluci58]

You are absolutely right. I remember very well that period, follow his podcast and CompTrain. I can’t believe he was a great coach and now a good for nothing 😢. It’s also true that she never improved her weaknesses.. she talked about it on the Dottir Channel with Annie. Did you listed to it? It’s a weird situation. First she said the she wanted to go back to Iceland and stay with her family then after one year she moved to USA and compete for USA .. i link the video. If you want.. ❤

[@jopainting1668]

Maybe there is a reason they don't bring them up?

[@vpryymak]

​@@jopainting1668the extra long hags after every competition were truly strange...

[@facelen4321]

@@vpryymak I don't think that there were anything going on between them. This is not the point here. I think that they don't mention him and his importance because she is now a HWPO athlete and they think that he is competition now... very poor thinking in my opinion.

[@phillipmkelly]

I wish you had dived into what she was doing before and what led her to making a move. Seems like there’s more meat on the bone there.

[@brighteyes1016]

Yes! Please, please, please, women's health.

[@VIEW-ut3bu]

35 now.

[@eduardotakao1684]

I love the interview!!!! KD is great!!

[@XtotheZX]

that was awesome! couldve listened to you for hours!

[@FeWH]

She is still beautiful! Is she still with her Man?

[@superluci58]

Lol yes😂

[@johnczerwiec8897]

Games showed nothing special about HWPO

[@johnczerwiec8897]

Matt's a joke

[@raiseyourdrive]

I tried so hard to watch this interview. If you are going to be a voice of the CrossFit world, please learn to take the word “like”out of your vocabulary.

[@zedxe1857]

Mat FFS sometimes you just have to listen. So many times you interupted before she finished. BAD bad interviewing. If your going to do Podcasting "LEARN TO DO IT RIGHT"

[@RogueCylon]

HWPO is a perfect home for Katrin. Looking forward to seeing her progress into a more rounded athlete.

[@ann5028]

These two have been huge role models since high school. Finally a semi-long form discussion! Lol. Love you guys 🤍 💪🏼

[@anthonyhayes2319]

Best interview! Great to see two friends working together… Katrin is a beautiful being that makes you happy whenever she appears! Bless you Katrin!

[@reeceturner8310]

When is rich coming on 😂

[@Totalpartyhaus]

Great chat! Excited for more of these!

[@darren6633]

It was an outstanding interview Matt & Katt. Awesome that both of you are pursuing a business career as small business owners. I know you will guys will be rockstars. Congrats 💪

[@jenniferdoak3651]

LOVED this!!!!!! Just awesome. please keep them coming. go kat!!

[@marcusdonahue4174]

More of these with the rest of the athletes would be perfect! 🤞🏾

[@bbbt8090]

Currently, I'm on the Laura train, but Katrin is my favorite women's CF athlete

[@superluci58]

Who's Laura. Horvath?

[@aminelaklalech8122]

What a nice interview to listen to ;)

[@Nim1mrod]

you are amazing!

[@kurtlarson2061]

Awesome interview. Keep them coming! Love the trip down memory lane, and the glimpse at the future. Excited for the upcoming season to see how team HWPO does!

[@Damaralh]

Please! Keep these kind of content coming! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rodm49]

CrossFit Legends talking nonchalantly about being super humanly fit. Katrin does look lean and mean… She’s in fighting shape!

[@thesweatdiaryco]

Matt that last answer really put things into perspective for me! Thanks man! Thanks Kat!

[@lailsonnavarro1566]

Katrin, u are amazing. Love watching u in this channel. Cannot wait to see u on the competition floor.

[@loganandblake]

You guys didn’t go with the smb7?? So interesting! These sound amazing

[@nathanyoder4509]

Fun recap! Rogue Invite looked like a lot of fun!

[@adambalaz1604]

Finally a great episode again, thanks!❤

[@flaviocosta1979]

Katrin doesnt remember when she met Mat :D

[@melissaortiz5884]

She so relatable on her answers

[@brainp471]

Katrin is the closest thing I've seen to an angel on earth, what a sweet heart.

[@jonathanlane7370]

This could of been 2 hours and I would of been engaged the whole time. Amazing conversation. Can't wait to see more.

[@caryhudson7219]

Great interview! One critique. Put your phone away Mat.

[@emmachallands1358]

Pretty sure the questions are on his phone

[@kimkruse1784]

Please do more! 😁

[@BarryMcCockinerEsq]

You need to do these live

[@Marcc000]

Great studio design

[@stang93ful]

All I hope is that this becomes a permanent thing for HWPO because this is great!

[@AverageJoeTwoPoint0]

Love katrin!!😊

[@pauloyeghe1637]
