Backstory
Michael is the co-owner, co-founder and Head Coach of CrossFit Jääkarhu. He was born and raised in Houston, TX. He went to college at Stetson University, where he played four years of Division 1 soccer (goalkeeper) and studied Spanish and Business Law, before moving to and living in Madrid, Spain for three years. He moved to Austin, TX and has lived here since.
Coach Winchester found CrossFit in 2008 during his search for “the next thing” on his fitness journey. After his first CrossFit workout (Fran) he knew he was in it for the long haul. He got his CF-Level 1 in September of 2008, and has spent the last nine years learning, teaching, but most importantly sharing his knowledge and craft with those that care to learn.
