Road to the Games Ep. 18.04: Vellner & Wright—Regional Rollercoaster

when it comes to winning stuff like this, I don’t think it boils down to “positive or negative” mindset. I think it would behoove those who do not win to also acknowledge the competition. Sometimes the people you are going up against are better, stronger, and faster. It’s okay to acknowledge this and will make you a better athlete. Putting all the onus on “mindset” borders a bit on delusion. I saw a stark difference between these two competitors. One acknowledges their competition and gives props while the other doesn’t.

хороша девочка ❤

Tia Wright has a toxic mentality that having fun is winning an event. She wants to win for all the wrong reasons. She said herself she knows that people expect her to go to the games. She’s not focused on HER, she’s influenced by outside things, things out of her control. I think that’s why it’s such an inconsistent journey for her.

The kind weapon laterally rain because cuticle phylogentically notice outside a overwrought lunch. steadfast, befitting ring

“This guy is different”. They weren’t even together by the time this aired. Lol. Also her sports psychologist sucks

She just needed to work harder. One of the judges said she is too small, look at kara web, even shorter but kicks ass. Work hard gal, bare knuckle fight it

I am not so sure about Tia's mental approach. Sometimes you need to see failure, see negativity, to overcome it. Strictly seeing positive may seem like a great idea, but failure is something you can't avoid. No matter how many times you say something you want, you don't have it until you have it and overcoming failure is part of the process.

I can't rip someone having a bad day...but you can't stay there.

I love so much how Vellner keeps talking about being careful, and not going unbroken, and staying within your capabilities. You can tell he really thinks about the workouts and knows his abilities!

This paring of Patrick and Tia is very interesting. And the editing done on this video is done insanely well. Tia might not have deserved the highlight of her journey. But it helped demonstrate a winners mindset vs a participant mindset.

I wish this Episode was straight Patty Vellner;

Pat Vellner is Toby Maguir = SPIDERMAN

Vellner is a shirt & tie LOL

Is wright wearing HSTL made socks

I have the impression that TIA might lack of confidence more than any other thing!! Do you agree??

I'm so confused with their choice of filming Tia.

Tia is hawt!!!

That sports psychologist 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 all he did was say “ok?” and gets paid for it.

That sports psychology got his license online

Vellner is the chillest. Humble,funny and doesn’t take himself serious. Best mindset for CrossFit and life.

Forced positivity seems more exhausting than just being depressed. I think if you're just depressed without being depressed and on top of it having to fake that you are not it's easier. That psychologist needs to be fired as well.

When mad as a box of frogs meets the dollar store psychologist 🙇🏼‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️

Can't believe nobody has written this yet. NO REP!

Tia: "I'm not nervous at all."
Patrick: "I've got a little nerves going on."
Mat: (from the 20m documentary) "I was throwing up."

I would guess that maybe it's because Patrick, and especially Mat, know exactly what's necessary to win, and that's going deep in the pain cave, and staying there, and not leaving until you finish, no matter how deep, no matter how long. I sure don't have what it takes to do that, and I can imagine that if I did, and I knew what I was about to face, that I'd be more on the Mat end of things!

Shiiit vellner slating vinas

Tia is super happy for 21st place. Meanwhile, Vellner is like I don’t want to come here just to participate, I don’t want to just get a participation medal. Difference between mindsets, winners from the losers.

Tia is a head case.

I hope tia thinks about fikowski or Katrin, huge failure in regionals followed by their best CrossFit games ever!!

all crossfit girls lose their tits, women are not meant to be at such low bodyfat, I can't imagine doing something thinking it's for my health but it shrinks my penis or balls.

Hold up so they are training the events the night before they do them at regionals!!? Jesus!

nice

That chic looks like mats sister

awesome.....

I hate the reporter with tia, dudes an idiot

I'm a big fan of Vellner! Really enjoyed this series of videos

Tia, to me, has surrounded herself with the wrong people.


(Do you see what I did there)
Also she's mad as a hatter.

Hey guys, I think it would be really cool to do a series on the underdogs of crossfit, like the people that are trying to make it to regionals that still work a day job every day. Like the "privateers" of Crossfit. It would be really cool to see how others manage their training while having a career as well.

love vellner, but had to skip a lot of the video cause of tia.. not a good choice

Song at 44.21?

Congrats V! 2nd Place RCG 2018

some of these subtitles are hilarious

CrossFit... Please don't mix the music tracks 15 db higher than the vocal audio... good LORD people at work think I am having a rave ta my desk.

why is she in a video with Vellner? She was very painful to watch just because of her attitude
