Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. This is your host, Niyoobo. I have a very special, special treat for you all, a tool that I believe most of you, if not all of you, are going to use very often. So I like you, train in the gym. So I'm no longer a professional athlete, but one of the challenges of mine is to really get back into that state of

mind because obviously I value being in shape, but not just being in shape. I love feeling like an

athlete. So I got a son who's 15. He is a great athlete. He's a wrestler. I got another son who's

12. He's also a great athlete and he's young, but he is athletic as all get up, and I know he's going to surpass me.

some days you'll feel very like shit man this shit is like let me hurry up and get this over with

some days you'll you'll literally like question whether or not your plan is working some days

you'll feel so good about how things have been going that you start to take it easy some

days you convince yourself to take a break some days you actually push a little too hard because you're almost gripping

and out of desperation. So there's all sorts of emotions and that's the beauty of sports as well as

pushing your body in a physical way in terms of training and working out and things like that.

And that's why I created the SSV series. All right. So

SSV stands for strength, stamina, and valor. Now, SSV is actually a workout alliance that I created
