we got to let you go. The Padres, the Padres no longer need your services.

And it was pretty transactional and that was it.

and it was sort of surreal.

I'll never forget it it was really hard to tell them that.

Hi friends and welcome back to at the end of the tunnel.

His name is Logan Gelbrick and he is the co-founder of the Uber Popular Functional Movement

Gym in Venice, California called Deuce. Logan is widely considered to be a coach's coach and he's been traveling the world

conducting what's called the Hold the Standard Summit and his mission is to use his platforms and his

uncompromising approach to coaching to inspire us to go after our dreams.

unlike millions of other kids, he actually achieved it.

He played ball in high school, college, and then he was drafted by the San Diego Padres,

but his career ended after only two seasons.

And that's when Logan realized that his true call rare ended after only two seasons.
