Marcus Luttrell Speaks to Alabama Football Team (WHAT You ARE!)
So many people complain about life and how tough of a life they have. Ironically, these complainers often have a nice job, a nice car, a roof over their head and more.

Athletes complain about how busy they are, blame the ref for losing, complain about their coaches, etc. These are the same athletes who have opportunity all around them to do things to become better.

Train On Your OWN [GLADIATOR Mindset]
I've been hearing the same old line since I was a young teen going to the gym with guns blazing. My friends and the "older guys" in the gym always complained about their lack of motivation.

As always, my time goes too fast and I missed out on connecting with a … [Read more...]
