always be successful, to never give up, work for what
I want, to learn from my failures and use those les-
sons to come back stronger the next time. My moth-

ashamed of who I am. These two basically turned me
into one extremely stubborn man that won’t take No

hard, working to achieve them is ;)

the game.

to learn and improve what you do! In the end passion

job, you will work hard, stick with it, and eventually
you will start to achieve success

and I’ve begun the Route 1 Academy to help educate
kids and parents on healthy living, training and nutri-
