Hey everyone glad to be here. I’m a Bay Area Performance Coach and I mostly coach a mix of tech guys who’ve got an edge and fighters (boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, and mma)… I’ve only done amateur fights but I’ve done 4 camps in the past 8 months on top of working with fighters… winning and retaining belts… I’ve learned and put into practice a lot from Phil’s mentorship program last year and love this movement that’s growing.. There’s more to me of course, but I love the models Phil is using and the holistic approach including mental conditioning and developing that spiritual armor that separates the people in the game and true champions not just athletically but in life. My goal is to start coaching pro level fighters within the next 30 days. Either full S&C and nutrition, consulting, or shadowing real camps in some way! Let’s go 🙏🏾💪🏾

Welcome to the Daru Strong Club. This is your training ground for total human optimization—mind, body, and spirit. The goal is simple: build discipline, stack small wins, and grow with a community that holds you to a higher standard. Inside, you’ll post daily, track progress, learn, and get direct coaching in live Q&As. Below is your clear, step-by-step playbook. Save it. Use it. Live it. Quick Orientation (what’s where) - Home / Community Feed: Daily posts, announcements, wins, and conversations. - Classroom / Courses: Programs, templates, and resources. - Calendar / Events: Live Q&A schedule and upcoming sessions. - Members: Connect, DM, and form accountability squads. - Search: Find posts, topics, or answers fast (use keywords like “ruck,” “nutrition,” “mindset”). - Notifications / DMs: Turn on notifications so you don’t miss live calls, replies, or tags. Tip: Pin important posts (rules, starter guides, templates) and follow the “Announcements” category. Daily Operating System (Mon–Sun) Do these in order. They take 10–15 minutes and set the tone for your day. 1) Affirmations (post in Affirmations) When: First thing in the morning—before life gets loud. Why: Prime your nervous system, align intention with action. How: Keep it short, specific, and identity-based. Template: - I am ______ (identity you’re building) - Today I will ______ (one non-negotiable action) - I reject ______ (distraction or vice)Example:“I am a disciplined father and athlete. Today I will complete my training block and 20 minutes of mobility. I reject excuses.” 2) Public Journal (post in Public Journal) When: Morning or midday. Why: Transparency creates accountability; clarity beats motivation. How: Three prompts—keep it real. Template: - What I’m feeling / thinking: ______ - What I’m focused on today: ______ - Obstacle & plan: ______ → ______Example:“Feeling under-recovered. Focus: hydration + protein. Obstacle: late meetings → Plan: train at 6 pm, prep shake at 5:30.”
