In this episode we have the honour of speaking with Brittany Van Schravendijk of "KB Fit Brit". Brittany is a kettlebell sport lifter with multiple records and achievements under her belt. Her full bio can be found on her website here.
We covered topics like:
- why and when Brittany stepped into the Ice Chamber gym
- spreading her wings beyond the San Francisco / Berkley area
- why she started making kettlebell technique videos on youtube
- the upsides and downsides to online resources
- youtube celebrity changes the game
- ask not what you can do for your organization, but rather what your organization can do for you
- what does the organization offer other than a ranking table
- combining ranking tables gets messy, why bother?
- out of half a dozen organizations, "I don't think any organization thus far has totally gotten it right..."
- how do we create diversity in competitions, while integrating them all into a cohesive calendar?
- what is the appropriate time between competitions?
- the value that consistent training has in your progress, in the absence of obvious changes
- mental training, and ideas on how to get the most out of post-comp reflection
- a good program should challenge you and build confidence, rather than crush you
- shit happens when we think "more is better"
- you can't peak all the time - there's is a reason behind pulling yourself back
- "[Denis] isn't ready to lift 32's all the time..." - professional weights take a toll on your body
- overcoaching...it happens. By game day, the work has already been done
- the check-in (ask your athlete what they need before you overcoach)
- different lifters benefit from different coaching

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
