You can learn some interesting facts about Francisco in our interview:
1. Who or what got you into CrossFit?
It was at a Combat Sports gym in Augsburg, Germany. They introduced CrossFit to work on our endurance and power. After training for a few days, the randomness of the exercises every day and the fun I had with my friends got me hooked.
2. Which skill or training goal are you currently focusing on the most?
I am focusing now on learning handstand walks and generally good technique in all areas so I can stop relying on my strength alone.
3. What motivates you to come to training regularly?
Just trying to be a better person in all aspects, physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. One day at a time.
4. Kiss, Marry, Kill—which exercises will you choose?
- Kiss: Kiss, like on the cheek? Maybe Weighted Dips. On the lips, I cannot tell you that... the other exercises might get jealous!
- Marry: I am not ready for that type of commitment yet... it's not the exercises... it's me.
- Kill: Just one?? I have a long list... and it starts with Running!
5. How would you describe the community here in three words?
Happy, Hungry, if you know you know 😉
6. What motivates you in life in general?
My parents and my lil' brother, they have done so much for me with so little. For example, my mother coming from another country in war and starting with nothing and still managing to get a job, raise a family, do University and still see the world through a positive perspective, that is real strength in my eyes.
This year my mother did a partner Workout "Murph" with me. She showed the endurance and positivity I strive to achieve in life.
7. Wie startest du am liebsten in den Tag?
Well.... I wake up.
8. Are you more of an early bird or a night owl?
I am a permanently exhausted pigeon.
9. If you were an animal, which one would you be?
A cat, they just need to meow and they get free cuddles, free food and do not even pay bills, that's a good life.
