- Follow Director of the Games Dave Castro as he travels to five different host cities for the 2016 live Open announcements. Castro offers insights into how he prepares for each announcement and explains his thought processes in creating the Open workouts. "I don't create them in isolation," he explains. "You have to look at all five weeks. It's almost like creating a piece of art."

You have to respect a guy who takes his work seriously
Definitely appreciate how seriously Dave takes his role! It makes a big difference
+Michael Holley I agree. It's awesome to see his thought process.
My level of appreciation for Dave has increased so much after watching this. Thank you for all you do Dave!!!
Man, I like Dave Castro, he is just so real.
Thanks for taking your creation and job seriously
Lowkey give more respect to Dave Castro after this.
Thank you Dave. You mean a lot to this community!
I so appreciate this!!! We love you Dave!!!
+Morgan Hammons speak for yourself! WE HATE YOU DAVE THE DOUCHEBAG!!!
Thanks Dave. For all you do.
Crossfit would not be where it is today with out you, Dave. Thank u for all your endless hard work!
I love so many things about this channel. The community bond you see when you visit boxes all across the world. How dedicated and unified you all are as a team. How vigorously Dave prepares and runs the whole Crossfit operation. To the editing and cinematography of the videos. But mostly the way your goal is to leave this world better than you found it. Crossfit has the best intentions and those who believe in it are often those who along the journey learn to believe in themselves.
Awwww I loved this. Dave Castro is one of my favorite Crossfit personalities (although not so much right after I finished 16.5) -- this is my first year doing the Open and I can't wait to go watch Regionals! This video got me even more excited!!
+Meredith! you need better people to look up to or maybe he is the best of what CrossShit has to offer - that's not praise of him.
Beautifully shot, and really well put together piece. Nice job who ever shot/edited/directed this.
Castro may not have created the methodology....but he made Crossfit into what it is now! Thanks for your service and thanks for taking your job seriously!
Love Dave. Absolutely THE BEST & BRIGHTEST!!
Dave Castro is Very Inspirational. Love that he takes what “seems” simple and doesn’t treat it as “simple.” Love that! 💪🏼
I appreciate the hard work that goes into making these videos. Not only has crossfit helped me get my life into to shape and increase my fitness but the guidance it takes to orchestrate it all like ex. Gregg Glassman, Dave Castro, Pat Sherwood, the announcers .. provides me with a mold to become a better mentor for other people, which will ultimately lead to a better future for all.
+Jorge Arellano Good joke! :)
People may think you're a huge prick Dave, but you're an intelligent and powerful businessman as well as a genius programmer. And you care about Crossfit more than anything and take it extremely seriously, which is admirable. Nice to see a Navy vet succeed so much, you deserve it brother. Thanks for all you do.
In other videos (I've never met him in person) Dave Castro can seem cheesy or arrogant. I'm grateful for this peek into the efforts and motivation behind the work he does and how he feels about it. CrossFit has changed so many lives for the better--mine included--if I ever do meet Dave Castro I will tell him thank you for his part in that.
You can see how the guy used to be a Navy Seal. Those guys are just trained and drilled into being a better human than us. They are just a lot less lazy than the average person. Have a goal, create a plan, work hard, achieve the goal, then move on. Guys a legend!!
Awesome video; it's always fun to see where the magic happens. Seeing how methodical Dave is explains a lot of things. Nicely done.
this was amazing. respect man
indulgent yet satisfying. props, Dave.
Those last few words about "exercise" , it's spot on. People who do not do it, don't understand, but only us.
That was awesome! I've always had A LOT of respect for Dave, but this just solidifies that respect. Visualization an preparation are key in every task in life. A lot of CrossFit's success is due to the fact that Dave practices both of those techniques. BZ's Dave!
Thank You Dave Castro for dedication and doing this for the community; blending fitness and mindset - benefit in so many ways. Come visit us as we open a bigger box on 3/30 in Hastings, Minnesota
Dave, I just joined Crossfit fortify gym last week. I'm aiming to meet you at the games. My goal is to build my experience this year and be ready to compete in 2018.
It is awesome to see Crossfit move to involve the international community.
Dope! Good stuff and thanks for the hard work Mr. Castro
Respect to Dave .. Taking his part so serious. Makes us athletes to take it also serious. Maybe he and his crew visit Holland some day. That would be awesome.
Great video. I always hate that people say they dislike Dave when he's obviously so much more than he appears. I mean, come on, he wasn't a SEAL for nothing people. Thanks for making CrossFit what it is Dave.
Dave Castro's job = total goals
Dave Castro is a warrior he's lived the Bushido code and his integrity his discipline and dedication shows.
+DLOS LMAO!
***** check this Troll out
***** cool story bro bwahahahahaha
Thanks for sharing didn't realize how much back end stuff goes on.
I wish I was aware of you guys coming to Argentina, I wasn't that big of a fan at that moment. I really hope you come back next year
- its just exercising it doesn't matter....
- To you maybe! to you its just exercising it doesn't matter... its much more than that.
Much respect for Dave.
Truly Inspiring
I lob thisssss watched this again
Shout out to Tefy from Crossfit Mobius assisting Dave in Brazil. Great instructor and model CFer.
Supressors? In California? I don't believe my eyes. +Dave Castro
Outside of that, it's nice to see a BTS on Dave. It actually humanizes him.
Thanks Dave.
The man himself!!! Nice work The Dave Castro
Dave is the "stuff"....good on ya man!
Okay, Castro. You've won me over. You're a great guy!
+Saljanpal No he really isn't. He's a huge douche who abuses his position
hmm I guess neither of us really know him. People can come across very badly on camera.
Headstand walks, going HEAVY on cleans and snatches, Bar MU at the beginning of an Open Wod, Pistols, and introduction of the assault bike into the Open for 2017. I also expect an intermediate step between the Open and Regionals.
What we are witnessing is a meticulous man. It is this nature that allows Dave to effectively design the layout of the 3 stages of the season. The minor details matter!
WOULD LOVE TO MEET HIM! JUST BECAUSE LOL
HE'S JUST GREAT WHEN HE PREPARES THE WORK OUTS
loving it
#RESPECT!
Low key Dave is the plug
Understand the perfectionism. Question though: does Dave use teleprompters or cue cards as a safety net? Could ease some of the burden and make his deliveries a bit less cerebral/brain-heavy.
Odd question-anyone know where to buy the barbell shirt that Castro is wearing at the end (20:10) with the '36' on it?
dave castro!

Anyone know the song in the background in minute 3:00 and on?....
Being back TDC.
Powerful TDC
This definitely shed a different light on "the" Dave Castro. I mean, all I saw for years was the overly-dramatic announcement pauses, mic drops, and cursing out grunt workers at the games for saying "good morning" to him. Those are all still terrible things but I get that he cares a ton for crossfit and I understand his analytical approach to what he does given his Navy background.
I didn't really like him...until watching this video! =D
His voice is so calming strangely
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
What I've learned:DAVE CASTRO IS HUMAN
What's the dab song?
I want to see Dave Castro going head to head with a normal joe crossfitter
why
+Jacob Palos Ro and Boz are pretty normal crossfiters. They may work for HQ, but that doesn't grant athleticism.
+VirgilARicks Dave Castro was a Navy seal what else do you want from this dude. people are so disrespectful.
+Anthony Munoz I have nothing but respect for Castro, my comment was referring to Jacob's and attempting to say that Dave Castro already went head to head with a "normal" crossfitter in Ro and Boz. I apologize if my comment came across as disrespectful.
+VirgilARicks oh no this is not at all directed towards towards you. Was replying to the initial comment. Like why do people care if this dude is in great shape or not? like how does that take away from the validity in the workouts that he creates? Why would u want to see him go up against an "average Joe crossfitter?" So that he can lose, and then what? "Oh he's not in shape enough to be CF games director." Seriously who fucken cares.
This response isn't just geared toward this one comment it's directed toward all the Dave Castro haters. Like gtfoh. Couldn't think of a better dude to be head of the CF games.
19:58 - those eyes
So I'm not trying to be a jerk at all but if he puts so much time and thought into the pauses why does it always come off as cheesy?
+Tommy Geairn Coming from a communications and public speaking background... he's really just thinking too much. You can also teach someone only so much at about speaking. Generally, great public speakers are naturals. It comes down to confidence, knowing your material, reading an audience, and being flexible. I think he tries to stick to his script and game plan too strictly. You have to be fluid when you speak. Thinking about pauses too much and making sure you hit every single word on the script makes it unnatural. Also, as director I don't think he has enough people, if any, approving his scripts or going over them with him. Getting a speaking coach could help. Experience goes a long way as well. Give him time. He'll get there. He said himself that he is shy. Public speaking for shy people is no easy task. Props to him for doing it so much.
M
People know he's just the face right? Many more people behind the scenes.. Just saying.
Let's make next year open announcement in Ukraine?
I still don't get his attitude, for me he always seems to be a little cocky and arrogant, don't you think? He also said grazi instead of grazie LOL
Dave Castro looks like he hasn't lifted a single weight in his life
So Castro is an artist now? smh. come on man. Spin the exercise wheel. An octopus could pick better workouts.
Stfu
TROLL
Castro maybe dedicated to this, but his delivery comes across as so arrogant. All that time spend practicing and it's still horrible. This is the face people want for CrossFit?
Castro's true arrogance was on display at the black box summit. I understand people get emotional but Castro never apologized for the events. After all these years it wouldn't mean anything if he did now, because he clearly isn't sorry about it. If you don't know what the black box summit is, google it. There are other accounts of the event besides Robb Wolf's.
+FinnishCraig3 Black Summit? LOL ...MOVE ON PLEASE.
I still don't understand why he went to a Air Force Base. Air force people are fat and slow. Marines/Army would of been much better choice.
I'm sure you didn't do any better on 16.4 then them.
Show some respect man! They're putting there lives on the line so you can have the freedom you have now.
+Kurt Paumen Pretty sure you're just trolling, but if you're just slow in processing things - I still don't understand how you can't see this as how inspiring this would be if that were true to fat and slow people.
+Johnny Anthony Dude, I'm in the Army. We regulary make fun of these fatties.
+Glen Silva You wouldn't..
Crossfit would not be where it is today with out you, Dave. Thank u for all your endless hard work!
