As a dedicated CrossFit athlete, I, like many others, recognize the significant role Dave Castro has played in shaping our sport. Despite not making it to the games or semifinals, I am as much a part of this community as every athlete who has signed up and we all share an interest in its evolution and continual improvement. Dave Castro's pioneering vision has been integral to this. His leadership in programming has helped CrossFit grow into the sport fitness that millions of us now embrace worldwide. 

Dave Castro, co-founder of the CrossFit Games and its lead programmer since inception, excluding the years of Boz, brings an unmatched level of experience and understanding of the sport. His programming skills have pushed athletes to new levels of performance, bringing out the best in us and challenging us to grow stronger. This strength cascades, building not just better athletes, but more resilient communities. 

Changing of programming leadership at this point could endanger the essence of this sport and the vision it was built upon. It risks the years of steady growth and the stability it has endured, which is currently reflected by over 13,000 affiliated gyms worldwide and an estimated 4 million participants.

Let's unite to champion the continuity that Castro's leadership provides. Retain Dave Castro as the head programmer for the sport of CrossFit to honor the vision that it started with and ensure its future remains true to its roots.
