Short YouTube clip featuring Luke Parker, a CrossFit Games athlete, giving a brief motivational statement about why he trains: to be consistent and become the best version of himself. He describes physical and mental adversity in training, the need to push the body to limits, and the role of rest and recovery. The clip functions as a short-form athlete introduction and mindset message.
Why do I even get up and get out of bed?
Anything in life, if you want to be good, you need to be consistent. I'm trying to be the best version of myself, and that's just what I'm trying to do every day. My name's Luke Parker, and I'm a CrossFit Games athlete.
Physical, Total training.
Yeah, it's tough some days.
There's adversity in the body and the mind. You're literally pushing your body to its limit and then resting, recovering.
And doing it all over again. I look at it as making deposits every day. At the end of the day, I'm working hard to cash in, right, to make my deposits. And, hey, rent's due every day. No one's just going to come up and do the work for me. I need to be the tip of the spear and be ready to go. We do the work.
