Wow. That was incredibly well done. I’ve always respected Danielle, but learning more about her tenacity here takes it to another level. Big fan.
❤️🔥
❤
She's brilliant
Yeah…nothing this good has been produced in the CrossFit space for years. LITERALLY.
U2
The film was beautiful.
Thanks for letting us all in and seeing what made you who you are.
Congrats to the director, producers, editor, and all involved.

Was it ever!! Amazing
Some of the best CrossFit content I’ve ever seen
🖤
Double down on this amazing work here
@@RogueCylontheir original content was integral, but no one is saying, "Where's the NFL?" when a good documentary comes out... that's not their role.
I got emotional way too many times watching this. 😢 So much love & respect for DB. I might be a bigger fan girl now than I’ve ever been.
Same- cried multiple times. She is amazing.
When is your documentary coming out @arielleloewen1 ?
Same!🥹💖
To many tears.
Only 25 minutes in and this is the best CrossFit documentary ever made. This is how you do it. We don’t need a yearly recap of the games that we already watched. Make more of these.
This is up there! But you are forgetting "Froning: The fittest man in history". A tough beat imo
False, I really enjoy seeing the documentary of last years games because they show a lot of behind the scenes that we don’t get to see. We just need more CrossFit documentaries period.
Yea this is great but chill on that 2nd part lol. Please make more of these and keep making the game recaps.
💯🎯
This is what CrossFit needs right now - a return to the story and meaning behind our athletes and people. It’s easy to get lost in the lights, the shoes, the brands, and the egos; this brings it back home. You guys have done such an amazing job with this.
Let’s give it up to the high school gym teacher who starts an affiliate. At that time….incredibly progressive to not just do that but to bring those concepts into the school. And the gymnastics teacher who (with the gym teacher) took DB out to tell her…”uh…you’re going to college. PERIOD.” Everyone needs a push in the right direction and with no parents to guide her, they did. Love that $hit.
Her friends and her teachers. All the right people at the right time. So glad they were all there. Avoided any chance to get into any type of trouble. Sports truly saved her.
I love that she had these role models who refused to let her fail. They saw her potential and gave her the tools. She is an incredible person, and she rises up after all she has been through. Wow, is all I can say. So much respect for DB. :)
Cooper as a manager is solid. Dude NEVER wavered from his dedication to his client which says something considering the ups and downs.
He also seems super respectful in the way he talks about other people. Top lad
This should be on Netflix! This has been put together so well. Best CrossFit documentary made and CrossFit should take note!
I agree 100%!!!!
This definitely felt like a Netflix special 😊
I am not a Crossfit fan, i dont follow it AT ALL.
But this randomly popped up on my algorithm after another video played and i watched the ENTIRE THING. What a fantastic story about a phenomenal athlete. I'm a Danielle Brandon fan now.
Wait so Danielle Brandon’s intro to crossfit came from a High School PE Class?? That’s incredible, why has Crossfit not pushed that story more??
Because CF is absolutely terrible at marketing. A drunk monkey could do a better job than their current staff. Look at how they’ve fumbled the bag from the years it was covered on ESPN. Viewership has been on the decline for years.
My reply got deleted, but I basically said the same thing lol
RAD knocked it out of the park with this one🔥🌐
(DB knocked it out the park) but we'll take it 🌸
Great shoes and great film makers.
Danielle Brandon 5x best smile in the Cross Fit Games athlete. I laughed, I cried, I self-reflected, and I thank you for putting yourself out there athletically and emotionally.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am ashamed to admit, I was one of those people that judged... UNFAIRLY and with no basis of knowledge. Danielle you keep crushing shit... keep being you... and keep not caring what guys like me think (thought). What a great story and I'm better for having watched this. Thank you!!!
yep, same boat here. I projected my own temper with refs in soccer to how she treated judges in CF. I was so wrong. Now huge fan and supporter
My wife, has been waiting on this film to be released. I know why now. A lot of their similarities in growing up as a child having to fight for themselves. She laid in bed last night watching this. As for me I know I have so much more respect. I’ve learned in years as a first responder that before you make an opinion on someone you should get to know them first. Their story will often tell you a lot of who they are and why they are the way they are. So proud of her! Also as a Fire Chief I work with a lot of teenagers through our schools that have the same path to overcome like Danielle. I will for sure be sharing this video with them for a way of encouragement towards them to see that their past doesn’t have to define their future! Thank you again Danielle for your transparency and honestly! That’s called being real and owning who you are! Much respect! Stay Focused! 👊🏻
🖤🖤🖤
@@daniellebrandon9097 and you can bet I will be buying my wife one of your R.A.D tshirts. She missed out on them when they went on sale because she is nurse and was on shift at the hospital! But when they get back in stock I’m getting her one to represent some DBE!!!!!
I’m a public school teacher for over twenty years. I never forget the positive influence I can have on each student. I’m always grateful and always hopeful. Keep pressing on DB one rep at a time!
In my profession, I often see children with parents who have addictions tend to go down the same path or have behavior issues. Seeing Danielle Brandon get dealt those cards and ripping them the fuck up, and not giving in is awesome. I did not think I could become a bigger fan of Danielle, but I have. R.A.D. did amazing on this documentary!!! DBE
😭😭😭
@@daniellebrandon9097you rock DBE! All the best for you from Brazil!
What a f*cking inspiration! Danielle truly shows, that it doesn't matter where you come from - it matters how you show up every day.
The best part was learning how athletic her mom was and how she had her walk on her hands in the house 😂💞DB
and how she was a shoplifter
This is an all-time doc, and a must watch, not just for any CrossFit fan, but a fan of sport period.
I went to Sac State during the same time and remember watching her compete in Caffeine and Kilos. I knew she was special since that competition and I remember her debut at the CrossFit games. Her story is beyond crazy and you see she’s been an extraordinary athlete since she was a kid. So proud to call myself a Sac State alumni and be able to support her since the beginning! From one Danielle to another. You go girl!!!
🥹😭😭😭
I love it so much that brands pick up what CF Media left. These documentaries are so much needed, not for us but for the athletes to tell their stories, showing us what it took them to get where they are today. KUDOS to R.A.D.
Hiller and Savon pushed me over here and boy am I glad they did!! Adversity is her middle name.
Jesus, I am impressed by how much Danielle managed all these childhood trauma and became a such an amazing person. Out of the darkness and muddy cave comes the light and fire! Truly inspiring! I hope she will continue all the amazing healthy things you do. Keep on going
She used to coach me at CF Envy. Worked out a few times with her and my goal was always to just survive and not be triple her time. Remember her saying she had to decline regionals for so long. So happy she’s getting her roses when she deserves them. Happy for all of her success.
How can you watch this and not be a Danielle Brandon fan! Not just in CrossFit but in life in general! Wow!
It's increíble how a coach has to say 'it's Ok to be better, it's Ok to wanna be the best". Props to Danielle and all the great people she was surrounded by!
And now……she’s loved by hundreds of thousands of us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow. I'm so thankful you made this and shared your life with us. I feel honored. You're a good, smart, strong, resilient, amazing human. Truly. I'm proud of you ❤️
I just cried so much watching this documentary. So much respect to Danielle and her brother and mom. I wish only the best things for them!
Cooper: she must be Swedish, if she would be American we would know her 🙈
The R.A.D. crew made the best documentary I’ve seen so far in the area of CrossFit ✊
I never thought I would be a Danielle Brandon fan, but this just changed my mind. Rooting for you this August, Danielle!
I showed everyone this today at class. So well done. Epic
I’ve been so excited to see this. I’m a recovering addict coming up on 5yrs clean. CrossFit has helped save my life ,as well as helped me become a better person mentally , physically, and emotionally . This is beyond amazing and will inspire so many people. Danielle Brandon you are such a fighter and amazing human for opening up like this. I’m glad I met you at 24.3 announcement. Related to this documentary soo much thank you ❤❤
Man this is the stuff we have missed from CrossFit. Behind closed doors where we see a person and their life. Excellent film. 10/10
DBE has a whole new meaning. Nothing but respect for her.
This was so moving. I am truly in tears, I have a very similar background. It’s so touching how much she still loves her mother despite everything
Totally relate to her story. Gymnastics was my escape from an unstable home life. I can still walk on my hands at 40. Danielle, your story should be told because it is beautiful.
Legend 🖤
This is what the games channel should be doing, tell the athletes story, incredible film, love to see this for other athletes, and more following Daniele into the games.
exactly. they only tell the story of the top TOP winners, many other stories out there that would bring in fans
This is what made CrossFit the sport everyone grew to love. The athletes. They need to watch, learn and listen. We need more of this.
I was already team DBE as I knew there was more to her than the surface. I felt really emotional watching this as I could relate so much at times it felt like I was watching parts of my own life. We both very well could have identified as victims and continued the viscous cycle that is addiction. Sport saved my life as well. I don't often share stories of my life as I've always been ashamed of where I've come from so thank-you DBE because you are truly phenomenal and I realise, I fkn am too! I'm so happy that your mum has been 13 years clean. Unfortunately mine relapsed with meth only a year ago but we're on the road to recovery (again). Remain unapologetically yourself, stay hungry and humble girl because you're inspiring so many people.
🖤😭
I always admired the insane skills Danielle has, particularly on her hands. However I was always dismayed by the volatility, as I see in her the same same temper I possess. (red cards in soccer anyone?) And I try to be so easy on the judges in CF competitions. But now seeing this, and the vulnerability and access granted, I am firmly in the Danielle camp 100%. This took me from a casual fan to "there's no one else I want to win the Games more than her". God what a warrior. I get it now. Nothing but good things for you Danielle
The reason this documentary was awesome is bc Danielle’s story is freaken amazing!!! Her mom is rad and hilarious too! Absolutely loved it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
This was amazing. Hats off to DB and DB's mom for being willing to tell what they went through.
RAD nailed it. What a wonderfully vulnerable journey.... more to come 😤💯
WOW! I have always appreciated her as an athlete, but this back story is a game changer in how I view her. She's amazing.
What a beautiful lesson, it doesn't matter what cards you are given in life, is how you play them. Respects Danielle, this is a motivation for those who haven't had it easy in life, and for those who live complaining when they don't really know what true trauma can be, I appreciate you as an athlete even more now.
I cant praise her enough for her resilience
As someone who had a troubled childhood, I connect with Danielle and can attest to using the struggles to fuel my passion for CrossFit. Thank you for sharing your story.
You are the most inspiring athlete for me. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know you a little more, you totally deserve every good thing that comes your way. I got very emotional because I was raised in a similar environment and, thank you for the inspiration ❤
So much respect for someone who can pull out of a bad situation like that. Most people would certainly not have. What a great motivation and example for those in the same situation 👏🏼
As a Grandview girl, who grew up with my aunt and uncle and was a gymnast, this story hits home. Danielle, keep conquering the world. You have a beautiful soul and I’m excited to watch you achieve great things!
I would have never watched this, but Sevan’s podcast spoke so highly of it. Damn, did not disappoint. Great doc and love the DBE 💪
This was so honest & so true to you! Thank you for being so willing to share it all!
You've got an incredible team around you & I can't wait to keep cheering for you this year. LFG DBE ALL THE WAY 🫶🫶🫶
I have always loved Danielle for doing everything her way and not being/doing what everyone else has said she should. Now I have even more love for who she is!! Mad respect!!
I don't know who's idea was to make the documentary but it will do great things for someone that definitely deserves. Talk about "don't judge a book by it's cover"... such a sweet girl. Danielle... if you evr get to read this or if it gets to you. You have nothing else to prove. You ARE already a champion in life! Anything else is pure gravy. Not that it makes a difference as I am no one... but I am a fan and was a fan before I knew your story. You are a beast of an athlete and since Dwayne Johnson is no longer using it, you should take the title "The Rock". :) Keep on pushing the limit girl! We are with you!
Wow. This was so emotional and well done. It changes so much about how I view Danielle. I'd seen her on the Sevan show and thought she was smart and able to hold her own in the interviews and was aware she was one of the top athletes with a reputation for being a bit boisterous and badass, but I had no clue about the real person and what she'd been through and how much she had to overcome. It's heartbreaking but also inspiring. I don't know how anyone can watch this and not pull for her 100% going forward. I can't wait for the sequel to this documentary when it will show how she wins The Games. So, LFG!!! -- Danielle Brandon Energy is infectious and UNSTOPPABLE! God bless Danielle and her family and all the friends and supporters who have been there for her.

Know Danielle from Natural Selection CrossFit. I have always adored her and I adore her so much more learning her story. She beat the odds with help from those who loved and cared about her and saw her potential. Proud to know her and proud of her achievements. Get ‘em DB ❤
“I think when others might crumble during chaos, Danielle thrives.” Hell yea she does ❤ way to go kid I frieking love you DB!!!!!
This just makes me love DB even more 🥲
🥹
I got something in my eye in the mothers description of that dude connecting a punch to baby Danielle. So glad to see her and her brother making it out of that situation. Well done documentary. I’ve been involved in CrossFit since 2011 and had no idea of her story. Wow.
I found peace in the gym, and then got lost again. Tomorrow was another new days for me, another fresh start to keep trying to build my future and burn my past. It’s fate I came across this and watched it. I relate to so much of your story DB, and I’ve bounced on and off the straight and arrow and wish I’d had more of your willpower to channel what I had somewhere better and just maybe I’d be in a better place than I am now. But tomorrow is a new day, I share the same pain in the ass attitude that you have about being independent and owning myself and am ready for yet another challenge. I can’t wait for the day I wake up and don’t feel like I’m fighting for my life just to get through the day, one rep at a time though and I’m ready. Thank you for sharing this, as hard as it must have been for you it truly will have inspired so many more than just me 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for being someone I can show to my teenage daughter as a model of strength and beauty and resilience!
I consume more CrossFit media than I care to admit, but this is the absolute best doc I've watched since the old Sevan BTS. Nothing in recent years compares to this one.
Finally got to watching this. LOVED this documentary, and thanks to DBE and team for sharing a story relatable to many people.
Oh my goodness. She quickly became one of my favorites when I first got into watching CrossFit, just based on her ability and spunk and the way she stands out in the crowd. Now that I know her story I truly admire her more than I even thought I could. She’s an inspiration.
O my gosh, I just don't have words... my heart.....the ache.... I just send so much love out to you danielle, your brother, and your mum, so much. *hug*
Saying you're in control of something while the entire world is upside down (from your perspective) is such a power move.
That was hands down the best crossfit documentary i´ve ever watched. Love DB, love her Energy. As someone who has experienced a lot herself I really relate to her and wish her only the best and the biggest!
Haven’t fully completed watching this yet and I can say I’m blown away by this documentary. RAD knocked it out of the park with this. There’s a reason why I love them and have 4 pairs of their shoes ;) I admit I have never been sure what to think of Danielle but hearing her history, her family struggles and her ability to fight through it all has 100% made me a fan. Rooting her on now and definitely following her on socials now.
Every little girl needs Danielle Brandon energy 💪🏻
"If she did it, I can do it" part is so important for so many people in the world, cuz sometimes that's all they need to hear to keep going! Thank you for this amazing documentary
Dude, tears. As a mom some of this was hard to watch, but wow to see how she fought and is still fighting is truly incredible.
Cried way too many times watching this documentary. You are a champion Danielle !!!
This was absolutely stunning. I cried the whole time! Danielle is such a warrior.
This was incredible in every facet. The production, editing, coloring, pacing...all top level. On top of that, and incredible athlete and human being with an incredible story. We need more of this.
DB in her rawest form, transparency always wins! 😊❤
Clicked this thinking oh another one of those road to the games pieces .... Danielle you deserve every good thing coming your way. Thanks for opening up and sharing your story.
😭😭😭
One of the best CrossFit documentaries I’ve watched. So unapologetically Danielle. So much respect to you, and so much more love for what you do. ❤️💪🏼
Wow! That was very well done! You don’t have to love CrossFit to appreciate this documentary. A story of how a person, can overcome obstacles, a kid! The impact others can make on one’s life. I cried more than once. What a strong person….And her coaches and friends. Wow. Im at a loss for words. Let’s f*ckkng go Danielle!!!
Love her even more after this. Being someone who resonates with her story, I applaud her for putting it out there. Younger me could’ve benefited from this and I’m so happy that it’s out there for those who need it. DBE forever!
oh my goodness, it is so amazing to hear Danielle is from the Tri-Cities and Lewiston, as someone from Spokane, WA, it is inspirational to see someone as badass as her from the PNW!
PNW BABY
So inspiring esp as being from a broken home too, violent mother, sports absolutely saved my life! DB fan for life! "There's the door" 👏🏼
This film was so moving, so well done. Incredible story, incredible work. I am in awe of Danielle and it brings me to tears how I can relate to that fight and tenacity despite adversity! So many women young and old will relate to this story and be inspired. Bravo 🙌🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was a great documentary about Danielle. Way to overcome the obstacles in her life. Awesome athletic looking forward seeing her at 2024 games.
This is EVERYTHING! What an absolute legend DB is, didnt think I could be a bigger fan of hers, then this documentary aired! This is what its all about!
I'm not a CrossFit fan and I found this highly entertaining. It's just a solid documentary.
Amazing story of triumph over a childhood that could have destroyed her life. Wow. Inspiring, and made me an even bigger fan. Also, EXCELLENT movie so well crafted on every level. Great job R.A.D., and rooting for Danielle to win it all!
Kinda crazy to me that Danielle Brandons story parallels my own, like many details of the of her story. You're not alone.
LFG Danielle…born from the ashes…she ascends!
DBE is not for the weak minded. She is the true definition of someone who adapts improvises and overcomes Anything. And for that i will always strive to be like her! #LetsGoBrandon
Just solidified how much I like her!!!! Can’t wait for the next games.
Wow.....just wow Danielle..... no words...thank you for gifting us with your story.
BEST DOCUMENTARY EVER!!! LITERALLY CRYING WHEN YOU SAID YOU FELT LIKE YOU COULDA DONE MORE FOR YOUR BROTHER.
Truth is… YOU TAKING CARE OF YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU COULDVE DONE FOR HIM! YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU COULD! Love you sis!! Soo proud of you and your truth 💛🏆🥳
You are simply an inspiration and a survivor!!!
You went through and faced so many difficulties as a girl and as a teenager and yet you managed to succeed against all odds!
It's amazing to see how you were able to discover in yourself the strength to set high goals and simply strive for them.
From the moment I saw you, I felt that you are special and that there was a story behind you.
It's good that you shared with us, sharing with others is also part of your healing and connection to yourself.
I'm a physical education teacher who works with youth at-risk in high school and unfortunately I've seen many times how from places like yours in life it leads to suicide, depression and self-harm.
This is why you're si amazing!
My next lesson at school will be about you!❤❤❤
Post workout tonight Watching this. As someone who has also been thru a lifetime of trauma and drug use and such, has me crying and feel warmth and joy and motivation all at once. Love seeing strong ass people overcome. And be unapologetic for who they are. Hell yes Danielle!
This was amazing. How can you not want to see her succeed after learning all the adversity she has overcome? I always wondered why she left Underdogs. Seeing Cotler all emotional made me like him more too. Glad she had some wonderful people in her life who believed in her. All it takes is one person.
I love this. As the person who got me into this sport it's dope to know her story and how she doesn't carry it with the heaviness it weighs.
Hope they do this for a few other athletes as well, would be dope to know the people in the games.
Im.crying!!!!! So moving!!!!
What an amazing story. I love the energy DB gives off. And what an amazing example of beating the odds and not letting the narrative take control. Major respect.
Such a good documentary. Danielle is a living legend
