Here is a small excerpt from The Navy SEAL Ethos to preface some of my influence behind the way I think and the way I pay attention to things: We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me – my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete. Even before coming across The Navy SEAL Ethos I was analytic of my own training and life decisions for a very, very long time. It led me to … [Read more...]

How To Maximize Your Strength Gains & Greatness Through Being Relentless
I've been so friggin' inspired and fired up lately that it is ALL firing me up MORE, if you can imagine that. 1 thing that has been coming my way a lot is other Coaches reaching out for my help because they want to make change. They want to transform an average team into an extraordinary team. They want their gym to be filled with motivated athletes who are consistent and aggressive without always needing a reminder to work hard. What I remind them of is that if any of my training is to work, … [Read more...]

The Warrior Mindset, Lifestyle & Training Around Injuries
After spending some time on the phone with a friend of mine who is veteran of war, we got into discussing what a "Warrior" is. I thought he was gonna tell me that no one should call themselves a Warrior UNLESS they fought in War. I was wrong. The conversation reminded me a bit of some of the times I spent talking life, lifting and being a Warrior with none other than The Ultimate Warrior. We didn't speak about men with guns. We spoke the misuse and misrepresentation of the word, … [Read more...]

1 BIG Life Lesson I Learned From 2 STRONG Men
I was recently asked on The Super Strength Show for a favorite quote (shared above by Ohio State Wrestling Coach, Tom Ryan) and it brought me back to a memory of 2 guys who showed up to NJ after flying across the country, 1 of them who had JUST lost his brother.

Perhaps you're a Coach, an athlete, a parent or someone … [Read more...]

The video below is Part 3 in the feature of my training where I dig deep and connect with my Warrior spirit. I have zero … [Read more...]
STRONG Life Ep 52: Turning Your Struggles Into Strengths & Obstacles Into Opportunity
The weather in the north east has been pretty damn cold this year and like last year, the pipes at my gym froze up. But, last year, no pipes broke, so I kinda felt that this year I would get lucky. There is only so much you can do in a cold ass warehouse when water pipes are places 1 inch away from an outside cement wall. So when things went south, I had a choice: I could let them take me over or I could rise above and take them over. YOU get the same choices. We all do. None of us are … [Read more...]
How & Why You Must Train Your INNER Warrior
Even the nicest guy / gal has an inner Warrior spirit. And even if you live in a town as nice and safe as where The Brady Bunch lived, you must train the mind, body and spirit to not only handle tough times, but to THRIVE in those times. Tough times are coming. They are always right around the corner in some shape or form. Training in a manner that connects you to your Inner Warrior is not going to be your typical workout. There has to be a sense of discomfort. Furthermore, you must LOVE the … [Read more...]
