PH34 Sal Masekela on his Achilles rupture, growing from setbacks, and CrossFit family

Summary: Sal Masekela is a well-known action sports commentator, journalist, and musician, perhaps best known for his work on NBC’s Red Bull Signature Series, ESPN’s Summer and Winter X Games, E!’s Daily 10, and most recently VICELAND's VICE World of Sports. Sal's CrossFit journey began in the fall of 2010 and our paths finally crossed on May 30th, 2015 - the day that both of us tore our left Achilles tendons. We connected over social media and used one another for support, inspiration, and motivation throughout the recovery process. Over a year later, we met up at Sal's home box, Deuce Gym, for a WOD and then sat down to reflect on our intertwining Achilles journeys, CrossFit, and life.
