Started lifting weights / working out as a football player in high school then into college. Did not get really interested in the "science" of it all until I started coaching and running my own strength and conditioning program. I'll put my self through a workout or certian exercice before my players. Coaching is also extremely stressful as well as being hard on your body. The hours are long during the season, seven days a week, and the stuff we put in our bodies is garbage. It takes an extreme amount of discipline and motivation to stay dedicated during the season.

The intensity, the drive, that feeling at the end of the work out when your butt is dragging.
