Coaching & Programming For The Crossfit Games - Michele Letendre


Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. In this episode, we have Crossfit coach and head of DekaComp, Michele Letendre.


On paper, Crossfit should be a challenging sport to programme for. You need to be efficient in so many movements across a spectrum ranging from maximal strength to long-distance endurance. Add to this the fact that you don’t know what might come up in competition, which makes programming decision-making a challenge, but also can allow you to be creative in your approach. In this episode, Michele and I discuss her coaching company Dekacomp, her Crossfit programming ideas, and her different coaching approaches for different athletes.
