Lessons From Over A Decade Of Coaching Crossfit - Angel Liu Orozco

Angel Liu Orozco is the head coach of Telegraph Crossfit in San Francisco,
CA. Angel has been involved in Crossfit since almost its inception and has
been training in Crossfit for over 13 years. I first met Angel years ago when
he was working at San Francisco Crossift led by head coach Kelly Starrett.
Angel later went on to open his own gym which has always had a loyal
following. When Angel left San Francisco Crossfit, I followed him and trained
at his gym for about a year.
Angel has an incredible depth when it comes to fitness and he’s not your
typical one dimensional “Crossfit bro” kind of guy. He’s all an around athlete
and has seen the trends and fad come and go. He understands what works
and what doesn’t. Angel also has an incredible understanding of the human
body: mobility, bodywork, and functional movement.
We talk about some of the major problems with Crossfit, but why Angel still
finds it one of the best training modalities out there. We talk about how Angel
has evolved over the years as a coach and how fatherhood has changed
him as a coach. Stay tuned to the end, where Angel reveals his number one
hack or ritual that he does to keep him grounded. Honestly, his answer
floored me and I think you’ll think the same.
