Max Schneider is going to be the new Competition Director at the German Throwdown

At the beginning of the year I made a decision. Max Schneider will be added to our team as Competition Director. He’s also going to be the new Head Judge.

In 2016 and 2017 I tried to not only manage the competition in general, but I also tried to be the Director. Gregor Schregle helped me out a lot since the beginning, especially with programming the right workouts. But I needed someone that concentrates fully on the competition on the finals weekend.

I am very confident to have made the right choice with Max. He’s a very experienced Director, Head Judge, Box owner and CrossFitter.

M: I found CrossFit on YouTube in 2010 and started to do it at a “Globe Gym”. I then started doing it once per week on a local sports field with a few friends.
They motivated me to start my own box and that’s why I made my Level 1 in Basel in 2011 and started my Box in 2012.

B: What are your priorities on the event weekend on November 3 & 4?
M:
  1. Test – the fittest athlete must win
  2. Show – the spectators must have the chance to follow the competition
  3. Community – to offer the German CrossFit Community an amazing Weekend to come together and celebrate our passion.
