Nate McGivern

I grew up right here in Huntersville, North Carolina where my parents homeschooled me and my sister. After high school, I pursued a career in Special Operations in the 75th Ranger Regiment. I found CrossFit as I prepared to enter the military and I believe it is the sole reason for my success in the Ranger Regiment.
My passion for coaching evolved from a similar place to my desire to serve, I wanted to help people. Regardless of whether you are a first-time athlete or a CrossFit games athlete, I want to see everyone succeed.

I started coaching in 2019 in my unit's gym After I completed my Weightlifting certification. I took every opportunity I could to help Rangers young and old with their weightlifting in an effort to develop stronger and more resilient warriors.
As I transitioned out of the military I started coaching at an affiliate and have continued to hone my skills and knowledge as a coach and programmer ever since. I am a programming nerd through and through. I have no shortage of ideas and opinions about the history and progression of CrossFit and CrossFit Programming and I welcome any conversation or debate on the subject.

I am a firm believer in coach Glassmans’ assertion that “the needs of the Olympic athletes, and those of our grandparents differ by degree, not kind” and thus CrossFit is inherently for anyone.

I want to help everyone realize their full potential
