In this episode Coach Thomas speaks with one of the SOFEI's poster-child clients. They get into the specifics which led this client to join the tribe and what has been most valuable to him throughout his journey.

In this episode of We Don’t Knock, Thomas and Justin break down one of the most crucial concepts for anyone preparing for a selection: pain vs. injury. Too many candidates push through pain without understanding when it’s a normal part of growth—and when it’s a warning sign of something worse. We discuss how to build resilience, recognize the difference between discomfort and damage, and make smart training decisions that keep you progressing instead of sidelined.

Whether you're an aspiring special operator or just someone pushing your limits, this conversation will help you train harder, recover smarter, and show up on game day at your best.
