GRIT to GREATNESS

I have marked another item off of my BUCKET LIST!

After years of saying "one day", Steven Modlin and I have started the AGOGE FIGHT LEAGUE.

We found an awesome partner in SWIFTKICK BERNARD ROBINSON and recently had our first card, AFL I.

It was AMAZING!!!

In this special "AGOGE FIGHT LEAGUE" episode of GTG, Steven and I interview the fighter that won the FIGHT OF THE NIGHT matchup, Dustin Whittemore. His opponent, ROBERT VINE, and Dustin put on an amazing show that was extremely competitive, but they also showed RESPECT and SPORTSMANSHIP to each other, and the sport.

We discuss topics such as...

WHY FIGHT?

How much DISCIPLINE AND GRIT does it take to prepare and compete?

What are the REWARDS of your efforts?

Show RESPECT AND HUMBLENESS

MAKE IT HAPPEN/MAKE THE DECISION!
