Champions are not Born, They Are MADE!

This morning at the gym, one of my members, Danny brought his son, Jake to train along side of him.
They decided to take part of the Strongman Conditioning workout that I posted earlier this week.  You can view that workout here.

Jake is a 9 year old, 78 pound athlete who enjoys wrestling and football.

Today, he showed up eager for an early, Saturday morning training session.

His peers might of slept in, Jake didn't.

His competition may think they don't need to do anything because the season is over, Jake doesn't buy into that.

Some may say they can't, Jake wears how he feels about that proudly...


Jake came into the gym and wanted to see what he could do.  He wanted to challenge himself, he wanted to do the same workout as his Dad and he WANTED to keep going!

I love having this kind of WANT and Champion spirit in the gym.  

And I think you'd agree with me, no matter what age the athlete, no matter what their purpose, its that drive and passion that brings us all closer together.

People like Jake are welcome to train with me anytime!

Check out Danny and Jake training together in this video.
