THANK YOU! We sold just under 100 stickers. 👏🏻 These stickers are a reminder of Coach Mess’s signature phrase, “Power. Speed. Finish”. This notable phrase was heard throughout the weightroom, emphasized by Coach’s commanding voice. This phrase motivated all who heard it to push through a lift. Ultimately, the mindset of “Power. Speed. Finish.”  transcends the weightroom, and is a reminder to us all to always push through anything we are going through. The hope with these stickers was for all who display it proudly to be reminded of this sentiment and to allow others to see it and consider his message too. Thank you to everyone who placed order (they will be shipped out next week), and continuing to keep Coach’s legacy going and being a part of the Holley family.

Hey everyone! Here is a little project I have been working on to continue to spread dad's message and his legacy. If you had the opportunity to train with Coach Mess then you know "Power. Speed. Finish.", and I thought these stickers are a good reminder of that powerful message.

If you would like to place an order for sticker(s), I'll be taking orders over the next week, then will have stickers ordered, and sent out to everyone who places an order. You can message the Holley pages or me directly with the following info: which sticker(s), how many, and your mailing info. Payments will be made through PayPal only, and I will send you the payment info via message. Stickers are $3 a piece.

The officers must successfully complete over 850 academic hours, followed by a 20-week Field Training Program where they will be directly supervised, trained, and observed by the leaders of the Police Department.

Tommy Thomas has left a legacy beyond the boxing ring, as his kindness, his strength, and his passion were unmatched. All of those who knew him, loved him. Tommy was a dear friend to our family and the news of his passing has saddened us all. Tommy was like a brother to my father, Coach Mess, as they grew up together in Clarksburg and continued their friendship throughout the years. Tommy’s friendship was one my father cherished dearly and will always be remembered. We ask that you keep Tommy, Susan, and their family in your prayers. 🖤

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) — Tommy Thomas, who rose to be the No. 6 heavyweight fighter in the world during his boxing days before becoming a much-beloved police officer, has
