We'll take a journey through the origins of the MaxFit Games and delve into this year's collaboration with the Volusia Recovery Alliance, where we donated $500 and distributed Narcan to combat opioid overdoses. As a psychologist and substance abuse counselor, I’ll share insights into the powerful role fitness can play in helping others and why a balanced regimen of cardiovascular and strength training is essential for long-term health and preventing muscle loss as we age.

Additionally, you'll hear my thoughts on the complexities of the event's scoring system and the exciting plans to transition to a more streamlined, obstacle-course style format in the future, aimed at enhancing the overall participant experience and scoring efficiency.
