Whatever it Takes w/ Semifinals Athlete Brandon True - E.358

What would happen if you decided that something was possible instead of impossible? Brandon True's remarkable transformation from struggling CrossFit athlete to two-time semifinals competitor provides a compelling answer to that question.

Brandon's journey began with a casual bet against two 40-year-old CrossFitters who claimed they could beat him in a workout. His competitive spirit ignited, Brandon dove headfirst into CrossFit with the ambitious goal of reaching the CrossFit Games. Little did he know the mental and physical challenges that awaited him on this path.

The turning point came after his first semifinals appearance in 2023, where he finished near the bottom of the field. "I felt like I didn't belong there," Brandon reveals, describing both his performance and physical appearance compared to other competitors. This painful experience became the catalyst for profound change. Working closely with coach Drew Crandall, Brandon embarked on a comprehensive transformation that addressed everything from his nutrition to his mindset.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Brandon's story is his battle with self-limiting beliefs. Despite being exceptionally strong – with impressive numbers in cleans, squats, and deadlifts – Brandon struggled with movements like snatching. When faced with a heavy Isabel workout during qualifying, his initial reaction was "I can't do this." Yet through a powerful mindset shift and targeted coaching, he completed what he thought impossible, proving that many performance limitations exist primarily in our minds.

Perhaps most remarkable was Brandon's transformation in running workouts. After finishing last in a running event at his first semifinals, Brandon made a life-changing decision: "I will never come in last place in a running workout again." Through dedicated aerobic development and mental toughness, he turned his greatest weakness into a competitive strength.

What's your impossible challenge? What would happen if you simply decided it was possible? Take inspiration from Brandon's journey and discover what might be waiting on the other side of your self-imposed limitations.
