What are our thoughts on where CrossFit and the CrossFit Games are currently in 2026? How has Bruce Edwards' first six months as CEO gone?

New coaches do not know how to be good coaches, they've never coached before. While John is right that a good coach will experiment and learn through trial and error, most new coaches are not confident/knowledgeable enough to make informed decisions. If you've only ever programmed for yourself or for a specific population (e.g. 18-25 year olds) you cannot scale effectively. And most coaching education isn't good at giving real world experience, that's why young coaches "dont know what they're doing". Also, in a group setting a coach has limited time to give individual attention. In a one-on-one session then a young coach has the time for trial and error.
