Taming the Beast 

Dooley Noted: 5/14/2016
 
I have the honor of training on the same floor as expert trainer, Long Duong.


Long has been training at Catalyst SPORT for the Beast Tamer challenge for the past year. 
 
A Beast Tamer is a kettlebell athlete that can pistol squat, pull-up, and strict press a 48 kilo kettlebell. 


This challenge is an excellent demonstration of overall full-body mobility, stability, and strength.
Long came very close to completing the challenge late last year.
 
He saw that near-miss as the ultimate fuel for his training. 
 
Yesterday, he became the next Beast Tamer, crushing the challenge. 
 
He has inspired me to no end with his fierce focus and absolute determination to complete the goal. 
 
And when Long is training at Catalyst, he is not distractible.
 
His commitment to goal achievement should be emulated by anyone who truly wants to attack a goal.
 
Please help me congratulate the great Long in his amazing achievement. 
 
As always, it’s your call.

P. S. With two Beast Tamers at Catalyst, we girls have to start ponying up and give them some Iron Maidens!
