Andrij Kotowych (@thedrij)
Director of Athlete Relations
Andrij aka Drij is a strong believer in the well being of people and athletes alike. Years ago, Drij alongside other members of the JAKTRX team were standing around the squat rack wondering, “What if there was something designed for what we do?” and then the wheels started to spin and JAKTRX was born. With a number of CrossfitCompetitions that comes with his experience, Andrij finds himself with an athletes first approach, gaining great relations with athletes around the region, nation wide and growing internationally. Community is one of the main aspects of the growing sport of CrossFit. The community is what drives the athletes and people to become better and want to success further with their athletic aspirations and well-being. With these relations it helps to better understand the wants and needs of individuals in order for them to succeed.
