Recently, I got to watch a wrestling team that I train compete. The team competed against a team where the Coach was one of the original athletes I trained from my garage. It was a special night with lots of memories for me. The last time I got to watch a team I train compete has been the D1 level, 2 years ago. With my busy schedule, I am often on the ground floor, coaching almost daily, and so I miss these moments. But, now that I am full time coaching at a high school, I can often catch … [Read more...]

3 STRONG Life Success Tips & Why Successful People Are Considered “Crazy”
Since my youngest years, I can consistently recall how anyone achieving anything at a higher level than "normal" was called "crazy", as if achieving success and fighting the urge to fall in line with mediocrity was a bad thing. At The Underground Strength Gym, the athletes constantly tell me how their friends call them crazy and always try to talk them out of training with us. Their friends say things like, "Dude, just train at the high school weight room, it's the same stuff". This is why I … [Read more...]
Success, Happiness, Fulfillment & Crafting YOUR Life with Jaret Grossman
STRONG Life Podcast Episode 121 with Success Coach, Jaret Grossman. I came across Jaret's words some years ago through a random motivational YouTube Video that popped up in my recommended feed. I didn't see his face in this video, it was 1 of those athlete motivation videos and Jaret's voice was in the background. I must have played that video 10 times just so I could listen to the audio playing while I worked. It was powerful. I thought Jaret was a Coach who had been around for a few … [Read more...]
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. "I'm just not motivated....." "I need to train with you. You fire me up...." "I don't have it anymore....." The Ultimate Warrior always spoke about OWNING your life by doing your OWN work. Mr. R, aka Mr. Resistance is always trying to hold you down. He whispers in your ear and tells you that tomorrow is … [Read more...]

Here's a lil motivational story. One that really hits home for me, touches my heart. I will leave the name anonymous but I will say a few things before I share this story with you. 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...]
Top 5 Lessons Learned at Rick Macci Tennis Academy
I am always intrigued to see other Coaches in action, regardless of what sport they Coach. As a Coach myself and a very Type A Coach who demands excellence from my team and from myself, I like to see how others get the job done, or perhaps, don't get the job done. Some Coaches are horrible and some are great. Some are in the middle. I see some Coaches who have awesome web sites and use buzz words & hypey marketing to trick people into the efficacy of their program and I also see other … [Read more...]

The Only Person That Can REALLY Help You Get STRONG?
Got this amazing testimonial via e mail yesterday from one of our Underground Inner Circle Members. I had to share it with you because it's rare to see that type of action when I am used to getting e mails asking which program will turn them into an NFL prospect. It's amazing how so many ask for help and won't even try to do something on their own until someone tells them how or what to do. That type of attitude scares me. I question what type of society is growing where countless … [Read more...]
