Ross Tschirn talks to us about perspective after adversity and how his life's adversities has created this "Shark Mentality" he lives by now.
Today I sit down and talk with Ross Tschirn.
Ross is a fellow online coach like me, however we have very different stories growing up.
Ross isn't your typical coach who went through an overweight phase of his life and turned things around..Ross is one of the most upbeat and positive men I've met in awhile and this is after hearing some terrible life events he had to go through during his high school and college life!
One event though, I believe changed Ross's life was "The Selection". This is a show on History Channel where Special Operations Officers places 30 men and women with no military background through the most intense challenge of their lives as veterans and combat instructors from the Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and Army Rangers drive them to the limits of the human body and mind.
The civilians are tested to the limit and very quickly past their limit...
The military personnel wanted to see what made someone stay and someone quit!
Ross was put through this show right after his new girl interest was killed by an 18 wheeler and his mom got Colin cancer, not exactly the right head space you want to be in going into a show like this but Ross needed something to change in his life.
On the this show Ross was given a gift, a lesson to bring home that has changed his life every since!
And that lesson that the Veterans taught him was that life doesn't give a shit how you feel and your mind can go WAY further than you think when you are confronted with adversity!
Most of us live in comfort and as a result has been soften when it comes to handling discomfort.
Thus show taught Ross an invaluable lesson that he has kept with him to this day, It's all about forward movement!
Shark Mentality!!!
This is the motto Ross lives by now and it has guided him to be the type of coach he is today!
I hope you enjoy the show!
