My first big event weekend is complete. 🔥

And now I know exactly where I stand personally and physically.

There are things I’m proud of.
There are things I need to improve.
And there’s a LOT of work still to do.

So I’m going back to the bottom and building up.

I’m creating a 16-week DEKA performance program built around the same 4-phase approach I’m using to improve for the events ahead:

FOUNDATION → BUILD → PERFORM → EXECUTE

Where I start is going to look different than where someone else starts.

I’m working around a knee injury. Someone else might be completely new to DEKA. Someone might have years of experience but keeps hitting the same weaknesses. Someone else might be coming back after an injury, setback, or a long time away.

That’s the entire point.

You don’t need to be DEKA-ready to start.

This program starts with where YOU currently are and builds from there.

Your current fitness level.
Your strengths and weaknesses.
Your DEKA experience.
Your movement capabilities.
Your available equipment.
Your goals.

The 4-phase framework gives us the roadmap.

The training is built around the athlete.

Whether you’re preparing for your first DEKA, trying to improve your performance, or rebuilding your way back, we meet your start and build your finish.

I’m putting myself through the process first.

16 weeks.
4 phases.
Built from the bottom up.

Six months.

That's all that's left in 2026.

For some people, that thought is discouraging.

For me...

It's an opportunity.

Over the last several months I've been rebuilding, not just physically, but professionally. Countless hours of education, planning, certifications, and building a coaching program that isn't built around quick fixes or cookie-cutter workouts.

Defy The Odds Fitness was created for the people who refuse to let injuries, setbacks, or life define what's possible.

Because I've lived it.

Cancer.
A missing ACL.
A torn meniscus.
More than enough reasons to quit.

But here we are.

The next six months are about building.

Building stronger bodies.
Building confidence.
Building better habits.
Building a community that believes progress is earned, not given.

If you're ready to stop waiting for the "perfect time" and start becoming stronger than you were yesterday...

Welcome.

Let's get to work. 💪
