Tyson Mittrucker
Coach at CrossFit Liberate

I am a student at UGA majoring in Exercise and Sport Science. I was a competitive gymnast for almost 11 years, and after that was a sideline and competition cheerleader for 2 years. I am from Woodstock, GA and my favorite things to do are hang out with my friends/family, workout, go on coffee walks, and watch sunsets!

Turning Point

The transition into college wasn’t as easy for me since I am such a homebody. I grew up in a competitive athletic environment my entire life, but when I got to college I didn’t have any aspect of that. About 3 months into my freshman year, I decided to try out CrossFit Liberate and fell in love with it. I had done CrossFit a few times back at home, but it didn’t stick with me. The environment and people at Liberate were so uplifting that I knew it was the place for me.

Motivation & Passion

I am passionate about becoming a better person each day, no matter what aspect that is. I believe that every athlete is strong and capable and by showing up, the hard part is already done. Personally, the gym is motivation for my mental health and an outlet for me to be myself!
