<p>Phil Mansfield is a multi-disciplinary coach with a
history competing and/or coaching in rugby, cycling, swimming,
triathlon and more. In the CrossFit world, he is best known as the
coach to multi-time CrossFit Games podium finisher Sara
Sigmundsdottir. We got up early - well, early for me (Phil’s
internal clock was still on Denmark time) - after Wodapalooza to
have a quick chat before Phil did a postmortem on the competition
with Sara.</p>

with their approach to mental
toughness.</li><li>[44:04] How do you help athletes
