BEAST City & another day in the office!

My heart was thumping, because I LIVE for this stuff! At 6 PM The Underground Strength Gym was pumping! It was beast city! 600 lb tires being flipped Wrestlers training for the brutal Super 32 Barbells being Deadlifted Ropes being climbed Sledge hammers swinging Sleds and Prowlers being pulled, pushed and ran with Chalk flying […]

You say it, but do you Do it?

You say you want to win, but do you do everything possible that allows you the extra edge & the unfair advantage that puts you in place to win and become better than everyone else. How can you win when you don’t do the extra little things that add up to BIG wins? I look back […]

Eye of the tiger – do you REALLY have it?

So, you say you want to win and be the best, but are you doing what it takes to become the best? Do you train smarter, not just harder? Do you make excuses for your poor eating, such as: “I woke up late” “I’m too tired” “I don’t have time” You either have the eye […]

Where’s the support?

Funny how parents are actually putting their children at risk by not doing everything they can to improve their performance. I ask parents this question to get them to dig deep: “Have you done everything you possibly could to help your child be prepared as best as possible for his / her sport?” If the […]

Wrestling Brothers Return to The Underground
