After seven years at the CrossFit Games, including three podium finishes, the ‘Californian Bear’ Jason Khalipa is going to go team in 2015.

Unlike Rich Froning, who’s decision to go team from 2015 was widely speculated about in the lead up to the 2014 CrossFit Games, Khalipa kept it quiet until the final day of competition when he fronted a media conference shortly after being crowned the third fittest man on Earth at the 2014 CrossFit Games.

Hear Jason Khalipa open up about his decision to ‘switch gears’ going into the future, and his love for team sports in the video above.
