The question I hear most often is about the ten years I “lost” in prison. People see it as wasted time, but that’s a negative way of looking at life. Before I was sentenced to 27 years in a maximum-security penitentiary, I made a decision: one way or another, I would get out and I would get out better than I went in. Prison gave me something rare: time, without all the noise and distractions modern society forces us to consume. It was me, and the silence of a solitary cell.

During my childhood spent in a variety of sports training and competing in many countries there were many high level trainers who had an excellent approach to many venues and areas of training. Although not one approached the psychological side of the whole topic. Later on after seeing some of my best friends making into fame and money I saw how it affected them, which were basically the same effects that I was dwelling in my criminal life.

Struggling with mental and psychological challenges linked to selfishness, I learned that keeping both spirit and body active is essential. Physical activity became the key to building a strong foundation for life, honoring the vital connection between body and soul.
