You have seen it in todays society. All of the kids get a medal for attending or playing sports. We are tracking away from teaching a winning mentality. We applaud mediocrity as we don’t want to offend anyone. In BUDS and on the Navy SEAL teams – It always pay to be a winner. This... Read More

 In 1923 there was a great warlord who had the most guns, gold coins and goats of his lands. He was also a very wise man as he had traveled extensively and was well read.

It is easy to stay “comfortable”… stay inside your bubble. It is easy to try and avoid mistakes, pit falls and fears. But what happens when we explore the outer limits of our potential?

That deep burning drive comes from somewhere. It’s not on the surface. It’s deeper than that. It’s in your gut.... Read More

Just got back from a trip across the pond to Ireland. Met a ton of great people and took part in some epic training at Mornington Beach. The event was awesome as we did far more than the normal pushups and sit-up workouts. The event centered around building teamwork in boat crews. We heard it... Read More

One of the cornerstones of moving forward and achieving goals is to believe in yourself. It is not only important to be confident but you must truly believe deep down that you can realize your dreams. There will be obstacles along the way. Others may not believe in you and in some cases will mock... Read More

Just got back from the 20X Challenge at CrossFit Honor in Allentown, PA. This event was inspiring as we saw many breakthroughs as athletes stepped up to the plate and pushed themselves to the next level.

I get calls all the time. Emails. Potential athletes telling me they want to be a Navy SEAL or come to train hard and go to Kokoro. I love to help people and listen intently. Most times…. they don’t show up. They talk a big game but seem to find a way to “no show”.... Read More

There are times in life when you fall down and you think you don’t have the strength to get up. Its hard. But deep down inside you actually do have what it takes to get back up. Your Dreams. Your Passions. Your Family. Your Friends. Those are the reasons to get back up on one... Read More
