Greg Gurenlian, better known as “The Beast,” joins John Lim for the first episode of Locked In.

The Hall of Famer, former professional lacrosse player, coach, father, and co-founder of The Faceoff Academy shares his journey from picking up a lacrosse stick at 13 and nearly quitting to becoming one of the greatest faceoff specialists in the game.

Greg opens up about discipline, failure, youth sports, coaching, mental health, fatherhood, gratitude, and the lessons that shaped him both on and off the field. He also shares why sometimes you have to “be the nail before you become the hammer” and why learning to stay present matters far beyond sports.

This conversation is for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone learning to keep going when success doesn’t happen right away.

Subscribe, share the episode, and stay Locked In.

Episode 3 of **In the Locker Room** dives into what sports teaches athletes that the classroom can’t always capture.

John, Claudio, and Arianna talk World Cup energy, national pride, fan culture, the power of team sports, and why athletes carry lessons like leadership, confidence, identity, and teamwork long after the game ends. The crew also gets into funny locker room moments, directions, Waze, Arianna getting recognized by fans, rugby toughness, the Haka, playing in front of a crowd, and why parents showing up matters more than they may realize.

From World Cup stadiums to high school gyms, this episode is all about the emotion, passion, and life lessons that make sports bigger than the scoreboard.
