Gladiator Story: HARD WORK Is The Best Feeling I’ve Had In My Entire Life
I had a conversation with a buddy of mine who coaches in the pros. I saw a video of a "Coach" who was shown training some of the BEST pro football players in the NFL. And guess what?

In my concerns, I had a friend send me his training program for a wrestler. He was a highly certified Coach with all the letters … [Read more...]

When I was in high school, I would follow this wrestler's success through the newspaper. He was a very humble, quiet and unassuming wrestler. But, when he stepped on the mat he knew how to "flip the switch." … [Read more...]
