As CrossFit Games athletes return to training in anticipation of the 2025 season, NOCCO USA and CrossFit Invictus have come together to offer a “Rise and Perform” Scholarship.
Announced last month, the scholarship is a joint effort to fuel, empower, and support young athletes who demonstrate incredible dedication and potential and have goals to compete in CrossFit.
Miki Huguet, Senior Brand Manager from NOCCO, explains how the collaboration with CrossFit Invictus came to be:
Huguet and CJ Martin, founder and owner of Invictus, started brainstorming about a collaboration. They realized that no one offers a training scholarship to teen or young athletes who want to excel in the sport.
CrossFit Invictus has a long history of coaching young athletes who became rising stars, and Martin understands that often those athletes don’t have the funds or the life situation to support their passion.
NOCCO and CrossFit Invictus will award the scholarship to one lucky individual this season, so it is vital that they find someone who encompasses the type of athlete they are looking for. The team wants to ensure they find someone who relishes the opportunity and understands the value of the experience.
The details: The application process for the “Rise and Perform” scholarship is open until September 30th.
The letter and video will give the panel plenty of initial info about the applicant. Once the deadline hits, Huguet, Martin, and the team at Invictus will review all the applications. The athletes who stand out will get a phone call and fly out to San Diego to interview in front of a panel that includes Huguet, Martin, and a few other members of the CrossFit community.
It’s not just about max lifts or crazy gymnastics skills; the selection committee will be looking for character more than anything, Martin said. This is important because younger athletes have a lot to deal with when breaking into the sport.
A compelling reason and a clear “why” is one of the things Martin is looking for.
The scholarship recipient will jump right in with Invictus programming, joining their athletes in the two-a-day sessions, active recovery, and community activities. The scholarship will give a stipend to help the winner support their living in San Diego, but they will still need to find a part-time job to cover the rest of their expenses.
Learning to balance work, life, and training is a highly valued skill for Martin and something he wants the winner to understand.
Want a tip to get noticed? Just be yourself, Huguet says.
