Who Just Won the Underground Strength Coach Certification!?!?

Who Do I Owe 99.9% of My Success to?
Please read this letter in its entirety. If you have know me for some time, you've heard me speak about this guy, who I had never met in person before, yet he took me under his wing like a little brother, or, like he was my Uncle taking me under his wing.

Everything is Changing
5 years ago I spent over 4 hours on the phone with a guy by the name of Alwyn Cosgrove. I'm talking 4 + hours straight, not an hour here and there. I "met" AC through special business forums that Ryan Lee created, which were membership forums.

Guys like Brian Grasso, Lee Taft, Jason C. Brown and Pat Bieth … [Read more...]

I would likely still be satisified doing what I used to do, and only training athletes here and there on the side, … [Read more...]
