I cannot express what a privilege it has been to watch Danny Neri set the bar every day. The guy refuses to lower his standards or be influenced by negative currents. Committed - not just involved. I am proud of you, @DannyNeri39. now to focus fully on a BIG year for the Cards!

Guys who want to compete will compete at everything. observe simple things in the weight room and you’ll learn all you need to know. It’s not just the amount of weight - but a lot of guys run and hide instead of competing. those stripes don’t change when the lights turn on.
