Mitch was one of the first athletes that Ben coached when he worked at Iona, and has always been very dedicated in trying to improve his technique and learn new skills.
We have also tried a bit of Crossfit on him - he has a 2.10 Grace and a Muscle Up to his name and we are trying to get the banana pull reverse curl clean from hang out of his system :)
