Driven Beyond Strength™ - Episode 2

Brian Cushing & Dave Diehl - 10 Years STRONG! 

Episode description: Back in 2003, an NFL rookie by the name of Dave Diehl and a high school kid named Brian Cushing both started training at DeFranco’s “gym”. At this time, neither athlete cared that the “gym” they had just walked into was a 500 square-foot converted storage closet. All these two dedicated athletes cared about was being in the best environment possible in order to achieve their lofty goals.

During Dave Diehl’s first meeting with Joe DeFranco, he discussed his goals with Joe in detail. Dave wanted to, “Play 10 years in the NFL”, “Win a Superbowl” and “Become an All-Pro”.

During Brian Cushing’s first meeting with Joe, he discussed his obsession for being the best high school linebacker in the country, receiving a full football scholarship to play for a “bigtime” university, and then playing in the NFL.

The rest, as they say, is history!

Learn more about Dave Diehl’s and Brian Cushing’s story in episode 2 of Driven Beyond Strength™!

    Hey Joe, I have been following your gym since I was in Middle school, I am currently in college now. Since the beginning I have always been fascinated by you applying experience/hard work/science/consistency to your athletes and have tried to apply it to myself. These driven beyond strength videos are an awesome insight into your gym and are great motivation for myself and others who aspire to play professional football and get to take part in "career prep" at your gym.

    Great behind the scenes footage. It still doesn't do justice for all the hard work it takes to program these guys workouts. You make it look easy when I know first hand its difficult. But I guess if you love something enough, it becomes easy! Great work Joe.

    Looks great and first class video and editing! Do you allow non competitive athletes to train here I.e. dads who still want to train as hard as an offseason athlete?
