On Top and Still Climbing : Kaleena Ladeairous

Kaleena Ladeairous: CrossFit Athlete/CrossFit Games Competitor, Head Coach at CrossFit Armed

Kaleena Ladeairous

 

Kaleena Ladeairous just moved from Greenwich, CT to Miami, FL to take on the role of Head Coach at CrossFit Armed. Just two weeks prior to her move, Kaleena competed in the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games with her team, CrossFit Milford, where they finished in an impressive second place.

Though this was Kaleena’s first podium finish, she is an extremely experienced athlete and coach. She is a five-time individual CrossFit Regional competitor (2011-2015) and 2013 CrossFit Games individual competitor (19th place). Her certifications include: National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), CrossFit Level 1 and 2, CrossFit Mobility, Strongman, Endurance and Gymnastics.

I sat down with Kaleena one morning at CrossFit Armed after a WOD to talk about her recent success, her move to Miami, and her plans for the future. It was a great opportunity to get to know my new coach and to find out what it takes to compete at the most elite level of CrossFit as a team and as an individual. We also talked about more than just her own training including how she plans to develop herself as coach in a new state at a new gym. But first… let’s talk about the Games...

Name: Andrea Ager aka "AGERBOMB"
Age: 25
Occupation: CrossFit Coach, Elite CrossFit Athlete/CrossFit Games Team Competitor


Andrea Ager is currently ranked 5th in the world on the Reebok CrossFit Games Leaderbord.  In 2011, Andrea finished the open in 17th place in SoCal and was part of the Brick team that placed 5th at the 2011 Crossfit Games.  Since then, Andrea has had her sights set on competing as an individual.  In 2012, Andrea finished the open 6th place in the world and placed 5th at the SoCal Regional.  This year, she will go head to head with some of the nation's top athletes in the extremely competitive SoCal Regional in an effort to claim a coveted spot at the CrossFit Games this July.

Andrea is one of those people that lives and breathes CrossFit.  In 2012 she competed in 12 different CrossFit competitions placing in the top five (often placing first) at each one.  Not only is Andrea a fierce competitor, she is also a dedicated CrossFit coach. She is as passionate about the success of her athletes as she is about her own.  When Andrea and I started talking about her Fashlete™ of the Month Feature, we decided  that this would be a wonderful opportunity for her to talk about a group of female athletes that she trains called "Making the Elite".  I was excited to find out how one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world coaches women who aspire to compete at the elite level.  Here's what she had to say....
