In Coaching, CrossFit, HD Videos, Level 1 Seminar Staff
October 29, 2012
In college, Stephane Rochet got up at 3:30 in the morning to help out at Ohio University’s weight room with Ethan Reeve, who was the strength coach.
“Just one of the lucky breaks in my life,” Rochet says. “(He) was an absolute genius.”
He adds: “That’s when I knew this is what I wanted to do.”
Today, Rochet is the head strength and conditioning coach at the University of San Diego and part of CrossFit’s Level 1 Seminar Staff.
“This is like a dream job,” he says.
With a busy work schedule, Rochet has been focused on ensuring he spends enough time with his two young sons.
“There’s a lot of things I miss,” he explains. “I just want to find a balance with that.”
Rochet has one big family trip per year and also spends time in the evening playing with his sons.
“We do not have a rule about balls in the house. There’s been a bunch of things broken. That’s fine,” he says.
The multitalented Rochet is also a member of Coach Mike Burgener’s staff for the CrossFit Olympic Lifting Trainer Course.

Just finished level 1 trainer course, Stephane Rochet and his staff were the most amazing group of trainers! I learned more in those two days than I had ever imagined! I'm looking forward to taking all that knowledge and using it with so many other athletes who want and need this program! Thanks so much to Stephane, Katie, Zachary, Dave, and Chriss for sharing your time and knowledge! BOOM! Mandy

Stephane was one of my level one training staff. He is exactly the kind of guy everyone should have as an instructor: articulate, deeply knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject matter. CrossFit is lucky to have him and, quite probably, vice versa.

I had the pleasure of being coached by Stephane during my Level 1 cert. He is extremely knowledgeable in many different aspects of CrossFit and patiently took the time to answer my many questions. I learned a ton from him and hope we cross paths again. Thanks Stephane!
