“Sleep is huge for me. I don't set an alarm. I just wake up when I wake up.” — Rich Froning Jr.

I like coming home because nobody knows who I am. In Cookville, I'm Rich. I'm not a big deal. People like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, they just can't live a normal life and you do feel sorry for those guys.

Hard work is just something that my parents, when I was young, they made sure that we knew what hard work was and that it was okay to work hard and okay to sweat.

I put way too much pressure on myself and put too much into CrossFit. It had become who I was. That's really when I figured out I don't want my identity to be CrossFit.

CrossFit is a very humbling sport and you can be really good at something and look like an idiot doing another movement. It's a nasty thing, but it makes it a little more fun.
