About DefeatX
X is our most versatile letter. It can “mark the spot” on a map. It can identify a wrong answer. It can stand in for an unknown in a mathematical equation.
The Defeat X team uses it to denote the unique struggles that we all face as individuals. Every person is in the midst of fighting their own war, though the fight may be imperceptible to those around them.
Our team aims to harness sportsmanship, adventure, and fun to win these personal battles and overcome adversity. And we believe that as we experience the elation of overcoming obstacles and accomplishing unforeseen successes, we have the obligation to help others do the same.
Who is BoNK?
BoNK is the gorilla featured prominently on our kits. He symbolizes that all-encompassing fatigue that can hit you like a brick wall when you have expended all your energy and have nothing left to give.
We wear BoNK to remind ourselves that fatigue comes for everyone. It can get the best of even the best athletes. Only by staying humble and vigilant with our nutrition, training, and event execution, can we stay ahead of BoNK.
