Happy 4th of July America.
To all my friends on the front lines fighting the physical enemy, be safe.
Those of you who've trained with me know how honored I am every time I get to work with our nation’s Law Enforcement, Military, and other first responders.
I am humbled by your patriotism and courage, and it is such an honor and privilege to have her protectors embrace my system.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
I always wanted to live in the US of A.
I grew up in Canada and vacationed in the U.S. every summer.
I loved everything America stood for.
For decades, I traveled to the USA to help train various elements within the military and law enforcement communities. Initially as a foreign national, then as a legal immigrant, and finally, as a U.S. citizen.
CELEBRATING JULY 4TH
While most people see this as a day off and a time to party (nothing wrong with that), it's also an important and symbolic day.
Spend a moment on that.
While the original battle of 1776 is won and done, there will always be battles facing our nation and American Citizens.
Wars are being waged on us as you read this.
IMO the biggest battle today is on our minds.
We are being manipulated in a way never before thought possible - everything is propaganda!
And you’re probably holding one of the weapons responsible for all this in your hands right now! (Me too! Guilty as charged.)
And we do it to ourselves, every time we grab our phone and scroll.
The ‘Conditioning’ is real.
More than ever, we need to think about our emotional and psychological 'independence'.
"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."
Practice courage.
Stay safe,
Coach B
As always… insightful, moving, patriotic, and inspiring. Thanks for sharing this on a day that celebrates the greatest experiment in self governance in human history. May we have the courage to keep it alive as it was intended to be practiced by the brilliant founders that came before us.
Tony, you’re every bit as American as anyone I know who was lucky enough to be born here.
‘Murica! Long may she live. 🇺🇸
