Le voyage de cette ann\u00e9e a \u00e9t\u00e9 le plus agr\u00e9able jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent, mais malheureusement je me suis bless\u00e9 au biceps aux Games et j'ai d\u00fb me retirer.

Qu'est-ce qui fait de la PUMA FUSE une chaussure parfaite pour le CrossFit ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam : La PUMA Fuse est polyvalente, ce qui correspond \u00e0 la philosophie des CrossFit Games. Vous devez \u00eatre pr\u00eat \u00e0 tout, la PUMA Fuse vous couvre pour l'halt\u00e9rophilie, la course, les cordes \u00e0 grimper, les sauts, la pouss\u00e9e des luges... la liste est longue. Elle est confortable, durable et pr\u00eate \u00e0 tout.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Quel est votre entra\u00eenement CrossFit pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 et pourquoi ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam : Question difficile ! De m\u00e9moire, j'ai vraiment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 les s\u00e9ances d'entra\u00eenement ouvertes de cette ann\u00e9e. La premi\u00e8re partie comportait beaucoup de gymnastique et d'intensit\u00e9 \u00e9lev\u00e9e, et la deuxi\u00e8me partie des exercices lourds. Il s'agissait donc d'un excellent test global portant sur de nombreux aspects de la condition physique.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Comment votre ambition vous a-t-elle aid\u00e9 dans votre carri\u00e8re ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam : Mon ambition m'a permis de tenir le coup \u00e0 des moments o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait facile de se d\u00e9courager. Mon ambition est d'\u00eatre le meilleur athl\u00e8te possible. Participer aux CrossFit Games m'a permis d'aller de l'avant lorsque les choses n'allaient pas comme je le souhaitais ; les blessures, les d\u00e9faites - ce ne sont que des inconv\u00e9nients mineurs auxquels il faut faire face sur le chemin qui m\u00e8ne \u00e0 l'objectif global.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Qui vous motive \u00e0 devenir le meilleur athl\u00e8te possible ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sam : Mon entra\u00eeneur, mes partenaires d'entra\u00eenement, ma petite amie, mes amis, ma famille, les entra\u00eeneurs que j'ai eus par le pass\u00e9 et, bien s\u00fbr, mes concurrents. Je pense que la motivation est \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re, il faut une passion profonde et br\u00fblante qui doit venir de soi. Ma \u2018motivation\u2019 est de trouver ma limite absolue.

My ambition is to be the best athlete I can be. To compete at the CrossFit Games has kept me pushing forward when things don\u2019t go my way; injuries, losses \u2013 they are just minor inconveniences you must face on route to the big picture goal.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Who motivates you to be the best athlete you can be?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Sam: My coach, my training partners, my girlfriend, friends, family, coaches I\u2019ve had in the past and of course my competitors. I think motivation is fleeting, you need a deep burning passion and that has to come from yourself. My \u2018motivation\u2019 is to find my absolute limit.
