I regularly watch it change the trajectory of lives on the front end and the back end.
“There is a different aura to the kid who takes pride in his/her physical preparation.
I’m not talking about doing chest flies at the Globo Gym.
I’m talking about the kid who invests in & prioritizes the commitment to their potential.
They rarely lose the long game.”

They are just different.
No, it’s not that hashtag builtdifferent nonsense people post about because they decided to go out and do speed ladders one time, video it, and think they are “different” because of it.
I’m talking about the real stuff.
There is something truly different about the kids and families who invest in the non-glamours act of physical preparation and stick with it over the long haul.
While training has an immense amount of front-end value, most of the value will be found on the back end.
I have seen it streamline the concept of commitment into kids and watched it bleed into other areas of their lives.
I’ve seen it enhance confidence at scale that no rx drug could ever accomplish.
I’ve seen people graduate from our program and go off into the real world and succeed mightily in whatever field the venture off into the real world.
And ya know, after doing this for closing in on 14 years, those who go on from our program to “win the long” game is very much the norm, not the exception.
As a matter of fact, when I look back at the lives of the kids who committed to our program during their younger years, we are batting nearly 1000 with our “success in life” rate.
To go a step further, I don’t know of a single kid who bought into our program and turned out to be a bum.
Of course, I’m not implying that any of the kids are perfect, or they are immune to struggle, and I’m most CERTAINLY not implying that the reason they are successful is because they took part in our program in middle school, high school, and college.
What I am saying is that when you’re a committed person who stays bought into a process (if it’s a growth oriented one) it’s really hard to lose.
This is why I push the training for the kids so hard.
It’s not about bicep size or 40 times.
It’s about building positive life altering habits that pay dividends today and well into the future.
In a highly politicized, digitized world, is there a better way to build commitment with a confidence producing physical outlet?
There isn’t.
