Mitch is the strong, sassy type who works REALLY hard and loves a challenge. Both working out with and coaching him is an absolute treat. Get to know him a little bit better:Q: Why did you start CrossFit? A: I actually first got introduced to CrossFit on a deployment in Afghanistan back in 2009. We actually built a makeshift box at our out post and when we weren't out on patrols we were hanging in our box and working out.Q: How does CrossFit help you in your job? A: If you didn't know, I am a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S Army. Earlier in my career, CrossFit was a means for me to stay physically fit in order to do my job better. As I got more senior in rank and further away from the tactical Army - Crossfit has become more therapeutic for me, a means to relieve stress, be competitive, and also maintain a high level of physical fitness.Q: What have you learned about yourself since starting? A: That I need some type of motivation to push myself and that I have the ability to do more - whether it's another rep, or add more weight, or work on movements I don't like.... Crossfit Renew is that motivation for me - from the coaches, to the workouts and all the members.Q: Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert and why? A: I am very much an introvert in the sense, but due to my job and life I am forced to be an extrovert. It is just more draining for me to be an extrovert and I need that time alone in order to recharge. I am not a big fan of making new friends, in the past when I joined a gym - I never became attached to the gym or it's members. I went to the gym to do what I had to do, workout and left. Renew has kinda broken that habit for me and gotten me out of my shell.Q: Please share with us a favorite ridiculous story about one of your adorable children? A: I don't think there is one story I can share, my kids are nuts!! Haha, basically I have two boys (6 and 4 yrs old) who are the exact replicas of me as a child. Which is scary!! If you want to see the ridiculousness of the Lango boy's and our family - highly recommend following my wife on Instagram - she documents our life and is quite entertaining.Mini Mitches wreaking havoc?
