SAMANTHA PRITCHARD
Author
She grew up in Brooklyn, played basketball and swam in high school. In college, she performed with a step team and joined a hip hop dance group. Sam is a science nerd, and started her career as a health and STEM teacher in NYC public schools. After discovering CrossFit, she became a fitness enthusiast, promoting movement and a healthy lifestyle. Now a school leader and mom, she strives to instill a sense of adventure, responsibility, and resilience in both her students and daughters. In her spare time, when not running after her kids or working out, she’s always on the lookout for the best donuts around!
Sam is a mother to 2 active girls who will climb on top of everything, and met her husband while playing dodgeball.

Manny is a Graphic Designer at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City married to his lovely wife and father to a precocious,
sweet 10-year-old daughter (who is way more technologically savvy than him). Prior to his current job, he worked at DC Comics as a Licensing Graphic Designer. Manny loves to draw puns (he's drawn to them) and posts groan-worthy sketches on his down time. Born in the Philippines, he immigrated to Canada but has lived the last 20 years in Brooklyn, NY. Inspired by Sam and her husband, Sean, he took up Crossfit three years ago for the love of fitness and staying healthy. He also loves his box, Crossfit 718, where the coaches are awesome and the members are friendly, often humoring his dad jokes even when they don’t really want to hear them.
