Join Rich Froning for a powerful conversation with John Welbourn, a former NFL lineman who forged a decade-long career battling the toughest competitors in the sport. John shares how he stumbled into the early days of CrossFit, competed at the Games with only a week of preparation, and eventually helped shape CrossFit Football after years of learning under some of the most influential strength coaches in the world. He opens up about the shift from life as a pro athlete to finding purpose in coaching, teaching, and raising a family. His stories move from the chaos of NFL trenches to the challenge of jiu-jitsu, the pull of addictive habits, and the comfort he’s found through training and structure. Rich and John talk honestly about identity, fatherhood, and the struggle to adjust when a chapter of life closes.
