This biggest thing I get out of Goggins is the fact that he learned how to operate very well in situations that people hate being around. His greatest strength is his mind, not his physical abilities. His body is just trying to keep up with his brain.
The best thing about Goggins is that he failed in everything. Over and over, but he kept going. That's what takes everything, he never let anything or anyone take his soul.
I bought a bicycle 2 years ago and started putting in lots of miles. Changed my life. Nothing like being out there in the middle of the woods, miles away from home, peace and quiet. It changed my life. You guys want to take a first step to being positive than start by going out. Walk, hike, bike, goto the gym. Do something active. It’s the cure to depression, I promise
Lambdacode what kind of depression are you talking about? I’m not even talking about depression, I’m just saying that going to the gym does not mean “going out”.
Yeah the more I watched this video the more I agree with what you said. I’m sure there were issues both ways, but I can definitely see where they had problems with him.
Agreed. If your unit is up till 1am and has four hours of sleep and one of your guys goes to the gym instead and then brags about it after whilst the others are smart and get their heads down while they can... Yeah sorry but you are a bit of an asshole. Also why is he flexing on the heavy run before heart surgery? That's not badass it's just really dumb.
Ahmed R “a weird life before he transformed”? thats a massive, understatement. and its much less weird, than it was just, really really fucked up. i would recommend you go check out his backstory and see what led to him becoming what you see now. and its not about “oh i had this rough life so i became an asshole” its about your decision making. the obstacles he faced were not unique, and his decisions were not the smartest, but his decisions to keep pushing is whats rare in todays society. his story is about overcoming what most people let stop them, with sheer will power. like he says, your obstacle doesnt have to be run 205 miles in a day. maybe its a different challenge. whatever your hurdle is, it can be overcame. thats the takeaway.
Hell yeah. I'm 503 lbs and it's been almost a decade since I last ran. I've forced myself over the last month to run a mile everyday because it hurts like a MF. I don't know how much I've lost but I feel like a BEAST again. I don't look like I'm 5 bills but after 8 knee surgeries from college ball, getting married and competing in Strongman, I let myself go.. Taking my MF life back into my own control again. Do the shit you hate to do most like it's your favorite thing in the world! Thanks Goggins!!! STAY HARD!!!!!
@@digitaldaemon74 Hey John, thanks for the laugh. His mom lived in Nashville so he, his then wife, and he came down to my area, and he ran in a race I directed that year. He did pretty well against some really great athletes. It was a trail run and hilly. He didn't even want me telling folks he served when I thanked him for coming in to do the race. Back then he hadn't quite made a name for himself although this was after he did Badwater. Second humble SEAL I ever met. First one was in Airborne school and that one went on to serve awhile, then he opened a business as a consultant I think it was.
Yep! But look at it the right way: some people might take that as an excuse to continue procrastinating, others will use that to encourage themselves that that feeling of not wanting to do whatever they need to do exists even in the most determined man, and will connect with him as you say to find the strength to do so 👊
@@I_dont_care117 misinformation? There's no stripes on a Navy Uniform that signify deployments. I think you're confusing hash stripes which indicate total years served. Now take your education from a "misinformation spreader"
I think a guy like Goggins is so introverted and different from other guys is because his childhood home was a hell hole. He came from a background of extreme physical and mental abuse and speaking from experience that can make it extremely difficult to relate to people who didn’t go through such things. That kind of experience gives you such a different outlook on the world and people that it can make you feel like a total outcast and it really does put you at odds with others.
@@SergyMilitaryRankings with his father beating the shit out of him and his mother until he and his mom left after that bro was living In complete fucking poverty for years you clearly don’t know shit about his childhood
I'm a goggins fan, but I'm also real. I read his book. Most of the navy seals probably hate him because he never brought that mindset into the battlefield to really test his limits. I know in the book it talks about Iraq but for him to be a seal he never talks about war. It's just buds and training your mind. Most navy seals have at least 5 war stories to tell. I think that's why they hated him. However he is for us weak minded people who needs to be woken up so I respect him. He is good for the world

Van Gibson it’s pretty obvious lol... dude has so many unresolved issues. Good job to him for crushing it in life but emotionally he needs some counselling
@gippygipmg Ask cam Hanes. He is generous, likeable, down to earth. He is explaining his past and his mind set to get it done. He admits what it did to others and consequence to himself for it. 2 divorces and lost friends. Screw emotions issues. That's for the sensitive 80s man and his snowflake children. Hard men make soft times and soft times make soft men. Soft men make hard times which leads to hard men. Choose who you will be and make no excuses. Don't apologise for have calloused hands and discipline. stay away from those who criticize you for doing what is good for you and others and good for society.
DJWINDAGO People lack security. They’re insecure which is why they have to say things like “who does he think he is” or “he thinks he’s better than everyone” when in fact he’s never said any of that...ever. He always talks about fighting his on battles and getting through stuff, but people get so stuck on the cussing and how extreme his workouts are they can’t get pass that. People try to be so intellectual about what he should be doing but yet have such a narrow thought process.
Hugo Stiglitz ‘screw emotions issues’ I think you sound more like David’s father than himself if you say that. You have to work on ALL those issues you have to enjoy life to the fullest
@David Bury To my understanding, those units don't really like the lone wolf types in actuality, what they do requires an intense amount of teamwork and for everyone to be on the same page. Then again, what the hell do i know.
David Bury Yes and no. Yes they seek greater independence within an individual but they want operators who are sound of character and are not emotionally unstable. In many ways, being part of a team is a form of revealing an individuals psyche. SASR and NZSAS has their courses revolving both on the individual and team. A former Delta member himself George Hand said that a particular candidate who was a stud on selection was booted off for not interacting with his fellow peers no SAS patrol or Delta member would be allow to continue if they are found to be closed off. Many Delta members and SASR members say if a member is not interacting then how much more can he be relied on during long period of time cutoff? Key ethos in the NZSAS and SASR “Humor and Humility”
David goggins never went into war that's why. That's why the seals hate him. Instead if going to war he became a seal recruiter. Deltas HAVE TO GO TO WAR.
Kebay Jones not really. You don’t need combat experience you need to serve for 2 years and deployed but not actual combat experience. Some guys were cooks and they made it
I thought the same thing and although that’s not what it’s about, He definitely would. He has the complete opposite mindset. No excuse versus every fucking excuse imaginable.
Goggins did kinda change my life. He's right. The body does adjust. I was once working like 12 hours a day on a farm carrying heavy shit all day. After about a week of that I was getting worried that I wasn't getting a break to recover. I kept that shit up for like 2.5- 3 weeks without a day off. All of a sudden all my pain just kinda disappeared, even in my joints, and I felt stronger than i ever have. I didn't think the body could do that without a break to recover
yeah it does seem to work that way! I had longstanding lower back pain for a couple of years (got physically lazy, got a sit-down job). The way most people deal with that is to maybe do physio, be careful not to strain themselves, or just take painkillers. The way I cured mine - deadlifts. I deadlift as heavy as I can twice a week. I also do the other powerlifts. It not only stopped the pain, it fixed all of my posture issues! Getting stronger is the cure for pain, not painkillers - all they do is mask the symptoms and don't fix anything. The first few weeks were torture, and caused more pain, but that suddenly went away within a month, zero back pain after that. My lower back was too curved, too soft, too weak before. Now it's rock hard, and is configured exactly how it is supposed to be.
Work and training are different. Training is usually tailored to create most damage possible so growth is maximal, but then rest is mandatory. Work, not so much.
@@xentiment6581If categorizing this stuff is making sense in your mind, more power to you! Training is so fashonable to say nowadays, but in the golden and silver era, they always called it Workout. I work hard almost everyday and i grind for muscle. I feel 'training' is something with an specific end, like 'i'm training for be a better football player' or to be a better fighter, and working is something you do for the work's sake.
I wasnt in the SEALS, but was in the Marines. In the Marines Goggins would be called a "Mo-Tard." In other words, so motivated that he was retarded. This can rub guys the wrong way because someone is trying to one up you constantly. Mo-Tards are also very intense, speak their mind and sometimes can have a "holier-than-thou" self-righteous attitude. Leadership loves it, and I don't blame them, but socially they tend to struggle with relationships and realize how they're being perceived (or simply don't care). Apparently because of his medical issues he was basically made a recruiter for years and never really told his teammates. As a result, they all thought he was chicken shit and never wanted to deploy...but he has deployed though. Supposedly the rumor is that he turned down various assignments due to his medical issues, so the Navy used him as a recruiting tool. Nevertheless, I have a TON of respect for him. Edit: There are two types of Mo Tards: those who are good teammates, have tact and genuinely care about their teammates. These guys are still demanding and hard as fuck. The other kind of Mo Tard can isolate themselves and struggle building relationships. Goggins even acknowledged in his book that treating his fellow SEALS like BUD/S recruits wasn't a good idea. Note: Both types of Mo Tards can be very successful and they can evolve from one type to the other over time.
Why is it always inferior mofos who have the "insight" or "rumors". Dude was a fucking stud and SEALS dont like to be upstaged. That's why most of them dont ever make it to a Team. They stay in a training pipeline and then quit.
DonVito591 Then I was a mo-tard in the eyes of Marines like you. There exists other Marines that just considered it being motivated and considered it the norm. In my experience, it was usually the shit bags, less than average, and average Marines that had a problem with the Marines that were smarter, tougher, faster, and stronger. I remember the high speed, low drag Marines getting hated on for striving to be better versions of themselves. Weak asses. Never hate on a man for striving to be better. It also says a lot about the ones “hating”.
@@derek9153 Depends. I'd have to meet you in person first before making a sound judgment. I hope you didn't take my post to be insulting towards Mo Tards, because they are the ones every unit needs. My point was that sometimes Mo Tards struggle with interpersonal skills because they are so intense. You can still be incredibly motivated, but still be a good team member by building camaraderie and having tact. Goggins had a rough childhood (to put it lightly) and that affected him later on. Honestly, as an Officer, I bet some Marines probably perceived me as a Mo Tard, but I just considered myself to be motivated and constantly pushing myself. I have a close friend who's a Mo Tard and pushed me to new limits, but he also clashed with a lot of Marines when he simply didn't have to. It's a thin line between being a Mo Tard and being motivated and also between helping the unit or degrading good order and discipline. In Goggins case, he isolated himself and rubbed others the wrong way. Being a good teammate is a critical skill too -- if you don't have it, then a Marine will just be a highly motivated individual. I agree with you about guys being critics though. They are usually either jealous, lazy or both.
@@eazy1174 May I ask did you ever in the military? If not, then the long explanation is try to join and see how it feels if you have to do the goggin's way every single time! It either breaks you or build you kinda thing, there is no in between!
Agreed it's a seal "team" for a reason the brotherhood is necessary for the operations they conduct, at that level you need complete and total trust in the guy next to you, he was busy running "getting after it" but the "it" is operating not ruck runs...solid dude nonetheless but he should understand what it is...
All he talks about is training and suffering more than the others. He became a recruiter for a reason. He trains special forces and special ops now. He doesnt have to be in the field at all times. Hes more qualified to be in the field probably more than anyone in these comment sections. No Unit Commander would send someone out if they obviously arent going to fight. So theyll use him to recruit and be a teacher. Not everyone in Special Forces is always in Combat. Theres many different jobs a US Ranger can do. His point...he works harder than the guys who go into combat. Hes pushing his life, not risking it. And hes become an icon or idol for those who are in dark places and want to get out. Understand the message, not the actions.
Although i respect the fuck out of motivation, it will catch up to him. It catches up to all athletes of all kinds. But it’s his life and he’s happy so god bless him.
Meh you need to read the book. He says it was his fault that he became a jerk and said it was his fault he didn’t get along with the SF guys. Don’t judge him by one video clip.
@@WHAT_1400 He wasn't a professional triathlete. I don't buy into all his messaging, especially when it comes to his military career, but that's not really a good comparison.
Livinthedream oh yeah to even be accepted into the teams you have to do operations so people really talkin slick on him like he didn’t get in lol. That being said, it’s quite clear to me that to get onto those teams are incredibly hard, and I do accept the fact that a guy like Goggins was in it. Also, what we fail to discuss here in the comments is the reason seals are lethal is because they’re all intelligent because they have to be.
Yeah I’m not questioning his intellect or toughness or the fact that he was a seal. I’m just basing my opinion on what he said about not getting along with other Seal Team member. From what I have read and heard it’s about being a cohesive team. In his interviews he seems more about individual achievement. Probably not the best personality for a small Seal Team that has to function together to be effective.
Hades I agree, I saw the spark in goggins eyes when he realized he wasn’t being motivational but personal. However, he masked the truth with another. I think he was honest about all the reasons but ultimately focused on the point he was trying to make. The man is no coward, role model for sure that’s been proven. Could be an inflated ego might make him feel lik a higher purpose needs him, not the battlefield. “Surpassing life’s hard trials is like oxygen for a fiery spirit and the ego the resulting smoke ”. - ME 😂
He is exhausting to listen to. He’s done a lot of hard things…things very few could ever push through…but none of it is particularly interesting. Just my two cents.
Before two days ago the most I've ever ran was 6 miles and that was before I gained 40 pounds. In the last year I've lost 40 pounds and in the last 3 days I've averaged 11 miles per day
I just started running again a month ago I’ve always worked out but the first half mile was tough but now I’m running 6-7 miles a day nonstop and my goal is to hit 10 and then from there a half marathon and then a marathon keep getting a brother I wish you were around and we can run together because it’s hard to find people who want to work out and run even after working all day as a commercial plumber But they don’t know me son
I mean I still have to respect him as he was deployed and served his country which I’ve never done - but I get you if your someone who’s done a lot of tours in comparison your gonna feel probs pissed that he’s getting so much attention and got a medal of honour.
They were in different Teams. Jocko and Leif were in 3 anb David was in 5, so they probably didn't work together. David strikes me as the type of person jocko would like a lot.
I'm amazed at the angry comments of people saying Goggins is full of himself. This is Podcast where Rogan wants to hear his story. He is supposed to talk about himself and his story! This guy is clearly very driven, honest as hell (admits he isn't smart, he's goes to dark messed up places in his mind etc. etc.). And yet so many people get off taking shots at him. Take this at face value! He is showing people that you can be far more driven, push your body and mind to new limits and achieve huge things by getting off your butt. Motivation and drive is so important and Goggins is an exceptional example of this.
Definitely impressive dedication, but even he admits he walked around with a chip on his shoulder, disrespected many of those around him, had an attitude and was arrogant. He admits that this was a problem and he should have probably done it differently. You can tell from the way he speaks about the way he was/is that he would be insufferable in many aspects.
Justice9111 quit speaking on shit that you don’t even know anything about. If you read his book, he was the leader of his boat crew in his second hell week and he talks about the his leadership in that role, getting his whole boat crew through hell week and how they never lost a race. Then he was received a perfect score on leadership from his peers in army ranger training. To say he wasn’t a leader or a team guy is flat out bs. Other seals were butt hurt and jealous because Goggins was never satisfied and it’s important to note that not all seals disliked him. Also, in the book, he didn’t have any trouble getting along with his first platoon in the SEALS, because he was with a platoon who constantly was getting after it and were some hard mfs. So, it points out more that the Seals who didn’t like him were to insecure because they Goggins made them feel like pussies. It was nothing that Goggins did intentionally and it shouldn’t reflect on him
Nicholas Rea it was done intentionally though, he clearly stated in this video he wanted to stand out and that he made it a point to do so. Not that there’s anything wrong with that or the rest of your comment
I remember a pt sesh the 1sgt made us run 10 miles and caught our ass off guard and that fucked us up. If that was goggins that 10 miles would’ve just been the beginning!
@@anthonyluisi7096 It's one or the other. You cannot be both a Senior Chief Petty Officer and a Master Chief Petty Officer at the same time, unless you are pulling my leg.
Jayson T you sound like a bum. Talking shit because you are scared to get after it. You just want to load manage your life like a bitch. WHOS GONNA CARRY THE FUCKING BOATS!
I'm not a SEAL but I am in the military and honestly, morale is very important. I love Goggins but being a team player, especially in such an elite group like the Seals, i would think it is very important.
I remember A Jocko clip where he talks about how buds/training is the highlight of some peoples careers in the SEAL teams whereas others just want go on deployments and see combat. I’m guessing that’s where the tension came from. I’m guessing goggins was the former and pissed people off by bragging about running 100 miles a day or whatever, when in reality they didn’t give a shit and just cared about big operations on deployments etc.
If i recall correctly the full clip was about how people who only focus on the BUDs/Training are people who only went down hill from there and never actually got to be true seals. As in they were probably regularly benched because of an issue or another. It was in response to a viewer question. Edit: Found it - ua-cam.com/video/kNV18OtLUSY/v-deo.html
If you keep talking how savage you are blah blah all this shit just means your not a good leader just arrogant lmao you can’t just be doing log pt all this it’s nice to do this maybe like once a week but everyday come on man you graduated buds for a reason lmao now it’s more skills training not training to death everyday
@@technoruffles7747 yeah man that’s the clip. He basically says “You join the seal teams not to run or do pull ups or any of that crap you join to be a commando and go to war, that’s what being a SEAL is”. Goggins made his name from running and doing pull ups (didn’t go on many deployments as far as I’m aware?), Jocko made his name from being a commando. Might not have been calling out goggins specifically but you surely get my point how those two types of people probably don’t see eye to eye. Not hating on either who the hell am I, they’ve both done well that’s just my observation why goggins might not have clicked with other seals if he was getting in their faces about not running everyday or whatever
@@jimmypax7367 Goggins had like a bizarrely low number of tours, like 2 in 16 years when theres people that do 2 tours in their first 5 years. Personally i wouldn't be surprised if he was a pants shitter in combat.
Dam man, ‘I don’t go out with the team’. Going out with the team is the de brief. Not having a dig, mad respect brother but if you don’t know the guy next to you, how can you trust that guy and know his triggers in a small team.
Why would people in the science fiction community dislike this guy? You would think the nerds and geeks would love this guy and treat him like a a Super Saiyan.
@@TheBooklyBreakdown i aint really fit but he really motavited me to not stop working out even tho i might not end up looking like goggins or some insane looking body builder

I can see why they didn’t like him. He’s not a team player. In the military working as a team is essential in many different aspects. I also see that he’s selfish n didn’t wsnt to take the time to understand the wellbeing of his soldiers as a leader. First off, why was placed in a leadership position when he despises teamwork. I could keep going but overall, I can see through him of why he wasn’t accepted. Yea, other branches liked him. That’s because they never worked beside him therefore, could not see the selfishness tendencies.
Yeah no hate towards him but that’s not the mindset you should have in the military. They drill it into your head during boot camp that you’re not your own but part of an army
You criticize him because you can't relate. You may have not gone through the shit he's gone through to lead him to go that route. It seems like you're the type of "alpha male" with the fragile ego that he's talking about. He was doing things that you couldn't imagine yourself doing and people like you act holier than thou saying that he's "crazy and stupid" when he's doing something that is "abnormal" as if he's deliberately trying to bring you down. Look at how China is treating MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong.
@@abelmendez2527 That's how it is in every service branch. It's not about you. It's about the team and the organization. I like David Goggins but I agree with you because I can also see why the SEALs didn't like him.
I like that he has the ability to look at himself and realize some of his problems was his own personality. Not blaming himself, not blaming others. Just I'm different and didn't fit in many situations. Things like that show a real mental toughness, not just the physical activities. He could have let himself be bitter. I also like he said hey, at times I could have been a better leader, sometimes they could have been tougher. And that's true, sometimes as a leader you have to act differently than your natural personality to lead people, cause all people are different. It's cool he recognized that.
Kaarel Kaarelson automatic win for himself maybe. He says he wants to be the “uncommon amongst the uncommon”, that sure doesn’t sound like a guy that would do well in a team.
I’m not surprised the SEALs didn’t like him. Goggins is an elite athlete, but he’s all about exercise. When did he ever have time to actually do his job and be a SEAL? There’s never any stories about deployments and missions. Just about how many pull-ups he did or miles he ran. So yeah…. I can see why they shunned him.
Sounds like the other special forces guys have a point. They are aware their main job is doing ops, and this dude is obsessed with exercising. That's not the job lol.
I have similar experiences, but in a totally different world. I worked as a drayman, which is a guy who is the "second man" on a lorry delivering beer, wine, spirits etc. to licensed establishments like pubs, nightclubs, sports clubs etc. That was a hard, hard physical job. The driver always stays with the vehicle, my job was to carry in the booze on a sack barrow, sometimes even just by hand. Lots of guys complained like hell about some of the places where you had to carry/drag VERY heavy beer kegs and boxes of bottles up multiple flights of stairs, or down ancient winding stairs to old basements. Some drop routes were harder than others, so guys used to argue over who got assigned to the drivers doing the easy routes that day. I always volunteered for the hardest of the hard routes. The other dudes thought I was nuts. But at the end of it all, I was the fittest, strongest, most buff and efficient worker in the whole company. I took a real pounding, but just kept telling myself I'm getting strong and embraced it. I really embraced it and welcomed it. Savage mode all day. Sweating all day. Drivers would ask for me to be assigned to them, not the other way around as with everyone else. I always got it done with a positive, happy attitude while I was hurting and at 150+BPM for most of the day. The upside - any overtime opportunites, or easy one-off gigs doing one drop to far-away places - the manager would give that to me as a reward for all the brutal work I did and never once complaining. The other guys who whined about being assigned certain routes - they rubbed the bosses the wrong way. They did not earn any favour by complaining about the job all the time. I was the only one the bosses respected basically. However - that created a distance between me and the rest of the guys with my rank/job. I didn't get many invites to social stuff outside work - and that was just fine with me. I was only there to do a job, not to socialise. I did that job in beast mode and reaped the rewards that nobody else was getting. I don't regret a second of the hard graft that I did, it made me physically and mentally stronger than everyone else. I was able to save enough money to pay my way back into university, while others complained about the job and drank their wages every week.
Yeah I don't totally agree. Being an ex powerlifter my mind was stronger than my body. Broke my back, shoulder, and other shit from pushing myself past what my body could handle. You can't run if you can't crawl
He wasn't a part of the brotherhood because he was a black guy who went into predominantly white organization and showed guys up. I can totally relate being I had to cover a range for some seals on a deployment being their corpsman had left. When I got into the truck to drive to the range, one of the seals made a racist comment about me and their officer in charge going for chicken afterwards. I guess he felt some type of way that two black guys were together in his team. What I noticed throughout my military career is that many places will deal with the one black token guy, but when it's more or the one starts to speak up for himself they treat him like shit. Plus I totally feel him on being a loner. Alot of marines didn't like me because I stayed to myself and rarely hung out with them.
His ability to control his mind is without doubt awe inspiring. His mental fortitude is like steal, but his strength is also his weakness which is why he failed twice to get into Delta Force. His confidence turned to arrogance which in turn became complacency. When this happens you're a liability. Hence why the SAS/SBS selection course is actually the toughest in the world, which is also why D.F has based their selection / training on it. SEAL training is admirable but it is shorter than our own commando training (6mths vs 9ths) and certainly not near the paras. You can be a fit as an Olympic athlete and built like a line-backer, but if your head is not completely in the game, always, you will fail. That aside, his backstory is incredible and the charity work to help families of fallen brothers is commendable.
His talk on how he is excited to go back to week 1, day 1 is amazing. Extremely tough mindset to have. Mostly everyone is clamoring to escape training and here DG took the worst part of training and said "I'll make this my daily routine". If you do that in life, nothing can phase you. I find myself adapting to an easy life style. I think it's natural for the human body to do so. You chase easy. But if your mind can stop your body from doing that and have it do the hard part daily, you have to succeed at anything you do. There's no failing.
It would be very interesting. Peterson being a psychologist would almost be fascinated by Goggins’ behaviour and lifestyle. The interaction would be unique.
"If you didn't get after it, I didn't respect you." He at least had the integrity to admit why he wasn't wanted in the Seals but why the Army Training Community loved him. He was too much of an Individual that was a Lion by himself in a training environment, but didn't have that family mindset to fight with others like a Pack of Wolves and care more about the guy next to you than yourself in the real deal. He'd get people killed.
You get decorations as a unit even if you didn't do shit. We had guys who missed deployments but still got medals and such just because they were still part of the unit. Goggins is a great athlete. He isn't a team guy. Selfish and arrogant prick.
Real medical issues can cause a serious direct stop to physical stuff no matter how hard you try.... I had one that took me out no matter what for like 10 years and now its still bad but I am fighting again to get my health back... chronic significant health issues can actually get worse from physical fitness seriously that's a reality.
DG is a Workout Warrior, kinda like a stud at the NFL combine. I respect it but there's more to being a seal than working out, I would assume. Working out was his therapy but maybe his counter parts didn't need to PT for the same reasons as him. Breaking ppl physically becomes ineffective after a while.
His whole message is being as mentally tough as you are physically, and don't stop pushing. For most people, that's a lot harder. How many pushups can you do in one set? You shouldn't even know the answer to that, because you should refuse to stop. Most people don't have that in them.
@@EAL2310 As someone in the military that has worked closely with SF guys, most of that PT stuff is 100% useless above a certain point. The most important aspect is how well you do your job and can people trust you with their lives. You can brown-nose and blue falcon your way into certain circles with PT but once you're there, different things matter.
He's also slightly crazy and that was a really dumb thing to do. I like him but that's some crazy shit, doing a massive 10 mile ruck run the SAME DAY he had heart surgery scheduled!
I ran a lot, and it suddenly started hurting a lot, but I kept going. The pain was my meniscus tearing. It’ll probably put me back 2,000$ and a whole year of fitness. Once I rode 80 miles on my bike without stopping, when I did stop I lost consciousness. That could have been dangerous. I don’t regret the second one because everything ended up fine. But the first one I regret like hell. If you suddenly feel a new pain, you should stop and try it the next day.
What I noticed about goggins is the calmness in his eyes, completely at ease. He has been through it all and came out the other side. Enlightened seems like a fitting word.
Was not surprised to hear how he didn't fit in with the SEALS. Too hard. I was in SOCM with some. These were trident wearing SEAL pups on there way to SEAL teams other than 6 mind you still in their training pipeline. While I was an 18D SFQC trainee trying to earn my tab. We had a 100 pushup contest for time one day. It was comical some of these guys pushups they would go down about an inch or two not even close to breaking plane. It was a proud loss to them haha. To this day I still wonder if that is a legit, standard Navy pushup. For all the gunpowders out there I realize this was one mans encounter with SEALS I'm sure they are not all like that. This was not an exaggeration, though. Goggins is correct not all of SF is all that hard all the time. In that, yes they've made it through a very difficult assessment course but yes afterwards some get softer. Like he said many just want to graduate and forget the suck rather than embrace it and seek it constantly.

I bought a bicycle 2 years ago and started putting in lots of miles. Changed my life. Nothing like being out there in the middle of the woods, miles away from home, peace and quiet. It changed my life. You guys want to take a first step to being positive than start by going out. Walk, hike, bike, goto the gym. Do something active. It’s the cure to depression, I promise
Can i walk myself off a bridge? 😀

I wouldn’t call going to the gym “going out” but I agree with the rest
@@frskatefun the gym can cure that kind of depression too, just being physically active outside of your home can do it honestly
Lambdacode what kind of depression are you talking about? I’m not even talking about depression, I’m just saying that going to the gym does not mean “going out”.
I think their problem with him was that he was more focused on training to be a navy seal than being a navy seal.
Yeah the more I watched this video the more I agree with what you said. I’m sure there were issues both ways, but I can definitely see where they had problems with him.
Agreed. If your unit is up till 1am and has four hours of sleep and one of your guys goes to the gym instead and then brags about it after whilst the others are smart and get their heads down while they can... Yeah sorry but you are a bit of an asshole.
Also why is he flexing on the heavy run before heart surgery? That's not badass it's just really dumb.
@@joew2450 well, he prides himself on doing shit other people wouldn't do or don't want to do. Smart or not.

Ahmed R “a weird life before he transformed”? thats a massive, understatement. and its much less weird, than it was just, really really fucked up. i would recommend you go check out his backstory and see what led to him becoming what you see now.
and its not about “oh i had this rough life so i became an asshole” its about your decision making. the obstacles he faced were not unique, and his decisions were not the smartest, but his decisions to keep pushing is whats rare in todays society. his story is about overcoming what most people let stop them, with sheer will power.
like he says, your obstacle doesnt have to be run 205 miles in a day. maybe its a different challenge. whatever your hurdle is, it can be overcame. thats the takeaway.

I think a guy like Goggins is so introverted and different from other guys is because his childhood home was a hell hole. He came from a background of extreme physical and mental abuse and speaking from experience that can make it extremely difficult to relate to people who didn’t go through such things. That kind of experience gives you such a different outlook on the world and people that it can make you feel like a total outcast and it really does put you at odds with others.

I'm a goggins fan, but I'm also real. I read his book. Most of the navy seals probably hate him because he never brought that mindset into the battlefield to really test his limits. I know in the book it talks about Iraq but for him to be a seal he never talks about war. It's just buds and training your mind. Most navy seals have at least 5 war stories to tell. I think that's why they hated him. However he is for us weak minded people who needs to be woken up so I respect him. He is good for the world

@David Bury To my understanding, those units don't really like the lone wolf types in actuality, what they do requires an intense amount of teamwork and for everyone to be on the same page. Then again, what the hell do i know.
David Bury Yes and no. Yes they seek greater independence within an individual but they want operators who are sound of character and are not emotionally unstable. In many ways, being part of a team is a form of revealing an individuals psyche. SASR and NZSAS has their courses revolving both on the individual and team. A former Delta member himself George Hand said that a particular candidate who was a stud on selection was booted off for not interacting with his fellow peers no SAS patrol or Delta member would be allow to continue if they are found to be closed off. Many Delta members and SASR members say if a member is not interacting then how much more can he be relied on during long period of time cutoff? Key ethos in the NZSAS and SASR “Humor and Humility”
David goggins never went into war that's why. That's why the seals hate him. Instead if going to war he became a seal recruiter. Deltas HAVE TO GO TO WAR.

@@luisalejandro2335 I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
Goggins did kinda change my life. He's right. The body does adjust. I was once working like 12 hours a day on a farm carrying heavy shit all day. After about a week of that I was getting worried that I wasn't getting a break to recover. I kept that shit up for like 2.5- 3 weeks without a day off. All of a sudden all my pain just kinda disappeared, even in my joints, and I felt stronger than i ever have. I didn't think the body could do that without a break to recover
yeah it does seem to work that way! I had longstanding lower back pain for a couple of years (got physically lazy, got a sit-down job). The way most people deal with that is to maybe do physio, be careful not to strain themselves, or just take painkillers. The way I cured mine - deadlifts. I deadlift as heavy as I can twice a week. I also do the other powerlifts. It not only stopped the pain, it fixed all of my posture issues! Getting stronger is the cure for pain, not painkillers - all they do is mask the symptoms and don't fix anything. The first few weeks were torture, and caused more pain, but that suddenly went away within a month, zero back pain after that. My lower back was too curved, too soft, too weak before. Now it's rock hard, and is configured exactly how it is supposed to be.
Work and training are different. Training is usually tailored to create most damage possible so growth is maximal, but then rest is mandatory. Work, not so much.
@@xentiment6581If categorizing this stuff is making sense in your mind, more power to you! Training is so fashonable to say nowadays, but in the golden and silver era, they always called it Workout. I work hard almost everyday and i grind for muscle. I feel 'training' is something with an specific end, like 'i'm training for be a better football player' or to be a better fighter, and working is something you do for the work's sake.
I wasnt in the SEALS, but was in the Marines. In the Marines Goggins would be called a "Mo-Tard." In other words, so motivated that he was retarded. This can rub guys the wrong way because someone is trying to one up you constantly. Mo-Tards are also very intense, speak their mind and sometimes can have a "holier-than-thou" self-righteous attitude.
Leadership loves it, and I don't blame them, but socially they tend to struggle with relationships and realize how they're being perceived (or simply don't care).
Apparently because of his medical issues he was basically made a recruiter for years and never really told his teammates. As a result, they all thought he was chicken shit and never wanted to deploy...but he has deployed though. Supposedly the rumor is that he turned down various assignments due to his medical issues, so the Navy used him as a recruiting tool. Nevertheless, I have a TON of respect for him.
Edit: There are two types of Mo Tards: those who are good teammates, have tact and genuinely care about their teammates. These guys are still demanding and hard as fuck.
The other kind of Mo Tard can isolate themselves and struggle building relationships. Goggins even acknowledged in his book that treating his fellow SEALS like BUD/S recruits wasn't a good idea.
Note: Both types of Mo Tards can be very successful and they can evolve from one type to the other over time.
I'd rather be surrounded with motards than shitbirds.
Why is it always inferior mofos who have the "insight" or "rumors". Dude was a fucking stud and SEALS dont like to be upstaged. That's why most of them dont ever make it to a Team. They stay in a training pipeline and then quit.
DonVito591 Then I was a mo-tard in the eyes of Marines like you. There exists other Marines that just considered it being motivated and considered it the norm. In my experience, it was usually the shit bags, less than average, and average Marines that had a problem with the Marines that were smarter, tougher, faster, and stronger. I remember the high speed, low drag Marines getting hated on for striving to be better versions of themselves. Weak asses. Never hate on a man for striving to be better. It also says a lot about the ones “hating”.
@@derek9153 Depends. I'd have to meet you in person first before making a sound judgment.
I hope you didn't take my post to be insulting towards Mo Tards, because they are the ones every unit needs. My point was that sometimes Mo Tards struggle with interpersonal skills because they are so intense. You can still be incredibly motivated, but still be a good team member by building camaraderie and having tact.
Goggins had a rough childhood (to put it lightly) and that affected him later on.
Honestly, as an Officer, I bet some Marines probably perceived me as a Mo Tard, but I just considered myself to be motivated and constantly pushing myself. I have a close friend who's a Mo Tard and pushed me to new limits, but he also clashed with a lot of Marines when he simply didn't have to.
It's a thin line between being a Mo Tard and being motivated and also between helping the unit or degrading good order and discipline.
In Goggins case, he isolated himself and rubbed others the wrong way. Being a good teammate is a critical skill too -- if you don't have it, then a Marine will just be a highly motivated individual. I agree with you about guys being critics though. They are usually either jealous, lazy or both.
I don't believe those dudes. I bet those SEALS hated to see this guy coming to chow. Lol

David Goggins Is the true definition of resilience and persistence.
The guy's a beast but a special forces team member that doesn't eat, sleep, train, suffer, fight with the team is a liability
from what ive heard he refused to go into combat, he joined the SEALs for the challenge, not the greater good.
Agreed it's a seal "team" for a reason the brotherhood is necessary for the operations they conduct, at that level you need complete and total trust in the guy next to you, he was busy running "getting after it" but the "it" is operating not ruck runs...solid dude nonetheless but he should understand what it is...
All he talks about is training and suffering more than the others. He became a recruiter for a reason. He trains special forces and special ops now. He doesnt have to be in the field at all times. Hes more qualified to be in the field probably more than anyone in these comment sections. No Unit Commander would send someone out if they obviously arent going to fight. So theyll use him to recruit and be a teacher. Not everyone in Special Forces is always in Combat. Theres many different jobs a US Ranger can do. His point...he works harder than the guys who go into combat. Hes pushing his life, not risking it. And hes become an icon or idol for those who are in dark places and want to get out. Understand the message, not the actions.
D GOAT you’re not a smart person
You talk like you know what you’re talking about
Could you imagine what he could achieve if he valued sleep and recovery?

Livinthedream oh yeah to even be accepted into the teams you have to do operations so people really talkin slick on him like he didn’t get in lol.
That being said, it’s quite clear to me that to get onto those teams are incredibly hard, and I do accept the fact that a guy like Goggins was in it.
Also, what we fail to discuss here in the comments is the reason seals are lethal is because they’re all intelligent because they have to be.
Yeah I’m not questioning his intellect or toughness or the fact that he was a seal. I’m just basing my opinion on what he said about not getting along with other Seal Team member. From what I have read and heard it’s about being a cohesive team. In his interviews he seems more about individual achievement. Probably not the best personality for a small Seal Team that has to function together to be effective.
Livinthedream oh yeah
I guess there’s always room for a straight savage on the team. He’s such a value add it’s wild. Truly an enigma
He said in one of his interviews he duznt mind bein part of a Team, he just thinks to b better in a team u need to be better as an individual
10:00 to 10:35
I believe what he said about not deploying much is probably what the others didn't like.
Hades I agree, I saw the spark in goggins eyes when he realized he wasn’t being motivational but personal.
However, he masked the truth with another.
I think he was honest about all the reasons but ultimately focused on the point he was trying to make. The man is no coward, role model for sure that’s been proven.
Could be an inflated ego might make him feel lik a higher purpose needs him, not the battlefield.
“Surpassing life’s hard trials is like oxygen for a fiery spirit and the ego the resulting smoke ”. - ME 😂
He is exhausting to listen to. He’s done a lot of hard things…things very few could ever push through…but none of it is particularly interesting. Just my two cents.
Before two days ago the most I've ever ran was 6 miles and that was before I gained 40 pounds. In the last year I've lost 40 pounds and in the last 3 days I've averaged 11 miles per day

GideonsSword777 You’re saying Goggins is too full of himself?
I'm amazed at the angry comments of people saying Goggins is full of himself. This is Podcast where Rogan wants to hear his story. He is supposed to talk about himself and his story! This guy is clearly very driven, honest as hell (admits he isn't smart, he's goes to dark messed up places in his mind etc. etc.). And yet so many people get off taking shots at him. Take this at face value! He is showing people that you can be far more driven, push your body and mind to new limits and achieve huge things by getting off your butt. Motivation and drive is so important and Goggins is an exceptional example of this.
Definitely impressive dedication, but even he admits he walked around with a chip on his shoulder, disrespected many of those around him, had an attitude and was arrogant. He admits that this was a problem and he should have probably done it differently.
You can tell from the way he speaks about the way he was/is that he would be insufferable in many aspects.
Justice9111 quit speaking on shit that you don’t even know anything about. If you read his book, he was the leader of his boat crew in his second hell week and he talks about the his leadership in that role, getting his whole boat crew through hell week and how they never lost a race. Then he was received a perfect score on leadership from his peers in army ranger training. To say he wasn’t a leader or a team guy is flat out bs. Other seals were butt hurt and jealous because Goggins was never satisfied and it’s important to note that not all seals disliked him. Also, in the book, he didn’t have any trouble getting along with his first platoon in the SEALS, because he was with a platoon who constantly was getting after it and were some hard mfs. So, it points out more that the Seals who didn’t like him were to insecure because they Goggins made them feel like pussies. It was nothing that Goggins did intentionally and it shouldn’t reflect on him
Ohio Boy Have you read his book? He clearly states he could not deploy due to a hole in his heart.
@@Nuke-China He'd become annoying. He knows that.
Nicholas Rea it was done intentionally though, he clearly stated in this video he wanted to stand out and that he made it a point to do so. Not that there’s anything wrong with that or the rest of your comment
His nostrils are so big the reflection on his nose looks like a hand giving the world the finger.
Stop 😂😂😂
He's an ultra marathon runner. He's gonna need some big ass nostrils to suck in as much oxygen aya possible
I cant imagine what PT would be like if he was SGM or 1SG 😰
Samual Calnan yeah that would suck ass
More like a Senior Master Chief 👍🏻
I remember a pt sesh the 1sgt made us run 10 miles and caught our ass off guard and that fucked us up. If that was goggins that 10 miles would’ve just been the beginning!
@@anthonyluisi7096 It's one or the other. You cannot be both a Senior Chief Petty Officer and a Master Chief Petty Officer at the same time, unless you are pulling my leg.

I always wondered what other SEALS like Jocko thought of Goggins.
Goggins is full of shit.
Jayson T . Ur full of shit

I'm not a SEAL but I am in the military and honestly, morale is very important. I love Goggins but being a team player, especially in such an elite group like the Seals, i would think it is very important.
Cohesion is important.
Oh lawd, goggins in charge of pt. That CO must have been a sadist
I love watching david goggins then right after switch to joey diaz. It makes me so motivated to stay stoned lol
I remember A Jocko clip where he talks about how buds/training is the highlight of some peoples careers in the SEAL teams whereas others just want go on deployments and see combat. I’m guessing that’s where the tension came from. I’m guessing goggins was the former and pissed people off by bragging about running 100 miles a day or whatever, when in reality they didn’t give a shit and just cared about big operations on deployments etc.
If i recall correctly the full clip was about how people who only focus on the BUDs/Training are people who only went down hill from there and never actually got to be true seals. As in they were probably regularly benched because of an issue or another. It was in response to a viewer question.
Edit:
Found it - ua-cam.com/video/kNV18OtLUSY/v-deo.html
If you keep talking how savage you are blah blah all this shit just means your not a good leader just arrogant lmao you can’t just be doing log pt all this it’s nice to do this maybe like once a week but everyday come on man you graduated buds for a reason lmao now it’s more skills training not training to death everyday
Yeah he seems more about the training and less about carrying out US violence overseas
@@technoruffles7747 yeah man that’s the clip. He basically says “You join the seal teams not to run or do pull ups or any of that crap you join to be a commando and go to war, that’s what being a SEAL is”.
Goggins made his name from running and doing pull ups (didn’t go on many deployments as far as I’m aware?), Jocko made his name from being a commando. Might not have been calling out goggins specifically but you surely get my point how those two types of people probably don’t see eye to eye. Not hating on either who the hell am I, they’ve both done well that’s just my observation why goggins might not have clicked with other seals if he was getting in their faces about not running everyday or whatever
@@jimmypax7367 Goggins had like a bizarrely low number of tours, like 2 in 16 years when theres people that do 2 tours in their first 5 years.
Personally i wouldn't be surprised if he was a pants shitter in combat.
Dam man, ‘I don’t go out with the team’. Going out with the team is the de brief. Not having a dig, mad respect brother but if you don’t know the guy next to you, how can you trust that guy and know his triggers in a small team.
Not about going out with the team. I know I'd trust his ass to bring me home if something goes sideways.

I can see why they didn’t like him. He’s not a team player. In the military working as a team is essential in many different aspects. I also see that he’s selfish n didn’t wsnt to take the time to understand the wellbeing of his soldiers as a leader. First off, why was placed in a leadership position when he despises teamwork. I could keep going but overall, I can see through him of why he wasn’t accepted. Yea, other branches liked him. That’s because they never worked beside him therefore, could not see the selfishness tendencies.
Yeah no hate towards him but that’s not the mindset you should have in the military. They drill it into your head during boot camp that you’re not your own but part of an army
@@abelmendez2527 team*
You criticize him because you can't relate. You may have not gone through the shit he's gone through to lead him to go that route. It seems like you're the type of "alpha male" with the fragile ego that he's talking about. He was doing things that you couldn't imagine yourself doing and people like you act holier than thou saying that he's "crazy and stupid" when he's doing something that is "abnormal" as if he's deliberately trying to bring you down. Look at how China is treating MMA fighter Xu Xiaodong.
@@abelmendez2527 That's how it is in every service branch. It's not about you. It's about the team and the organization. I like David Goggins but I agree with you because I can also see why the SEALs didn't like him.

Do you run
the seals knew the real goggins , thats why... hes an individualist... military is generally socially minded.
If you didn't get after it I don't respect you.
-David Goggins
A hardened individual indeed
Spike Solas WTF, you completely misunderstood his comment.
I like that he has the ability to look at himself and realize some of his problems was his own personality. Not blaming himself, not blaming others. Just I'm different and didn't fit in many situations. Things like that show a real mental toughness, not just the physical activities. He could have let himself be bitter. I also like he said hey, at times I could have been a better leader, sometimes they could have been tougher. And that's true, sometimes as a leader you have to act differently than your natural personality to lead people, cause all people are different. It's cool he recognized that.
I feel like he may be addicted to fitness. Seriously. Doesn't seem like much of a team player either.
Naaa, Imagine having him on your team... it's basically automatic win.
Kaarel Kaarelson automatic win for himself maybe. He says he wants to be the “uncommon amongst the uncommon”, that sure doesn’t sound like a guy that would do well in a team.
Nice addiction to have
LMAO 😂, Underachievers, always despise Overachievers , even in Elite Units 👍
Yea that was the biggest takeaway from this clip for me. I was like oh wow, even in the elite circles, it exists.
I think they didn't like him because he has an annoying personality.
@@veksone77 yea seems like a psychopath
Jocko didn't like him either, and he is definitely not a fucking underachiever.
Veritas Absoluta what source do you have that information from? Cant find a clip of jocko saying that.
I’m not surprised the SEALs didn’t like him. Goggins is an elite athlete, but he’s all about exercise. When did he ever have time to actually do his job and be a SEAL? There’s never any stories about deployments and missions. Just about how many pull-ups he did or miles he ran. So yeah…. I can see why they shunned him.
He went to iraq war and was personal bodyguard of iraqi president
Sounds like the other special forces guys have a point. They are aware their main job is doing ops, and this dude is obsessed with exercising. That's not the job lol.
yeah. this dude thinks being a seal is just constantly going through buds. Borderline autistic if you ask me.
I doubt he only focussed on physicals, he must have done drills for doing ops as well.
Someone put him in charge of PT and it went downhill from there.
@Fires And Flowers You don't seem biased at all.
@@ajpimpsall Boy oh boy are you wrong. Download Audible and use the trial, get 2 books free. "Can't hurt me".
Shouldn’t the ops be his life instead of the schools? Isn’t the purpose of the schools to be ready for ops and go out and achieve the mission?
According to the book he went to ranger school after a deployment. He went while the rest of the platoon was taking time off
@@Alex717xx yeah after deployment you have free time to go to college get more specialized training or just get drunk until the next deployment
he seems more about the training and less about carrying out US violence overseas
I have similar experiences, but in a totally different world. I worked as a drayman, which is a guy who is the "second man" on a lorry delivering beer, wine, spirits etc. to licensed establishments like pubs, nightclubs, sports clubs etc. That was a hard, hard physical job. The driver always stays with the vehicle, my job was to carry in the booze on a sack barrow, sometimes even just by hand. Lots of guys complained like hell about some of the places where you had to carry/drag VERY heavy beer kegs and boxes of bottles up multiple flights of stairs, or down ancient winding stairs to old basements. Some drop routes were harder than others, so guys used to argue over who got assigned to the drivers doing the easy routes that day. I always volunteered for the hardest of the hard routes. The other dudes thought I was nuts. But at the end of it all, I was the fittest, strongest, most buff and efficient worker in the whole company. I took a real pounding, but just kept telling myself I'm getting strong and embraced it. I really embraced it and welcomed it. Savage mode all day. Sweating all day. Drivers would ask for me to be assigned to them, not the other way around as with everyone else. I always got it done with a positive, happy attitude while I was hurting and at 150+BPM for most of the day.
The upside - any overtime opportunites, or easy one-off gigs doing one drop to far-away places - the manager would give that to me as a reward for all the brutal work I did and never once complaining. The other guys who whined about being assigned certain routes - they rubbed the bosses the wrong way. They did not earn any favour by complaining about the job all the time. I was the only one the bosses respected basically. However - that created a distance between me and the rest of the guys with my rank/job. I didn't get many invites to social stuff outside work - and that was just fine with me. I was only there to do a job, not to socialise. I did that job in beast mode and reaped the rewards that nobody else was getting. I don't regret a second of the hard graft that I did, it made me physically and mentally stronger than everyone else. I was able to save enough money to pay my way back into university, while others complained about the job and drank their wages every week.
Good man
Yeah I don't totally agree. Being an ex powerlifter my mind was stronger than my body. Broke my back, shoulder, and other shit from pushing myself past what my body could handle. You can't run if you can't crawl
That's crazy man. Have you ever done DMT?
I was just thinking this
Lol
He wasn't a part of the brotherhood because he was a black guy who went into predominantly white organization and showed guys up. I can totally relate being I had to cover a range for some seals on a deployment being their corpsman had left. When I got into the truck to drive to the range, one of the seals made a racist comment about me and their officer in charge going for chicken afterwards. I guess he felt some type of way that two black guys were together in his team. What I noticed throughout my military career is that many places will deal with the one black token guy, but when it's more or the one starts to speak up for himself they treat him like shit. Plus I totally feel him on being a loner. Alot of marines didn't like me because I stayed to myself and rarely hung out with them.
Wish I had a tenth of Goggins motivation and mentality!
You do
David Marklein that is exactly what I was going to say.
He doesn't believe in motivation
1% better everyday
His ability to control his mind is without doubt awe inspiring. His mental fortitude is like steal, but his strength is also his weakness which is why he failed twice to get into Delta Force. His confidence turned to arrogance which in turn became complacency. When this happens you're a liability. Hence why the SAS/SBS selection course is actually the toughest in the world, which is also why D.F has based their selection / training on it. SEAL training is admirable but it is shorter than our own commando training (6mths vs 9ths) and certainly not near the paras. You can be a fit as an Olympic athlete and built like a line-backer, but if your head is not completely in the game, always, you will fail. That aside, his backstory is incredible and the charity work to help families of fallen brothers is commendable.
His talk on how he is excited to go back to week 1, day 1 is amazing. Extremely tough mindset to have. Mostly everyone is clamoring to escape training and here DG took the worst part of training and said "I'll make this my daily routine". If you do that in life, nothing can phase you. I find myself adapting to an easy life style. I think it's natural for the human body to do so. You chase easy. But if your mind can stop your body from doing that and have it do the hard part daily, you have to succeed at anything you do. There's no failing.
I’d like to see a podcast with David Goggins and Jordan Peterson

Love Goggins, insane athlete, mentally and physically. I just wonder how he was tactically as a warrior. He doesn’t talk much about that.
Probably not great by the sounds of it. It really seems like he wanted to join the seals to say he did it and not to actually be a seal
I don't think he ever deployed.
@@skyblue9991 He deployed twice to Iraq.
@@ChibiViolin Good to know.
This dudes a "break glass for war" type dude, I don't think 99.9 percent of the population would want to go up against him.
His mentality and the way he pisses many people off is very similar to Kobe Bryant
For those who fault him for being a recruiter, remember that he was asked to do so by top brass. He didn't seek it out.
He should have competed in Best Ranger . He is tabbed .
Isn't that a 2 man event?
what is the point of thousands of hours of workouts with zero deployments 🤡
This guy just comes across as a classic narcissist lol
He's got the resume to back it up though
I think this guy walked on the dark side and came back to talk about it. It's ok. We know you're different. We all are
"If you didn't get after it, I didn't respect you."
He at least had the integrity to admit why he wasn't wanted in the Seals but why the Army Training Community loved him. He was too much of an Individual that was a Lion by himself in a training environment, but didn't have that family mindset to fight with others like a Pack of Wolves and care more about the guy next to you than yourself in the real deal. He'd get people killed.
Maybe in training but how can you assert that in an actual combat situation? He was a decorated Seal after all.
You get decorations as a unit even if you didn't do shit. We had guys who missed deployments but still got medals and such just because they were still part of the unit. Goggins is a great athlete. He isn't a team guy. Selfish and arrogant prick.

Donald Bolson how you holding up
Real medical issues can cause a serious direct stop to physical stuff no matter how hard you try.... I had one that took me out no matter what for like 10 years and now its still bad but I am fighting again to get my health back... chronic significant health issues can actually get worse from physical fitness seriously that's a reality.
So he basically spent his life pt' ing....that's it.
DG is a Workout Warrior, kinda like a stud at the NFL combine. I respect it but there's more to being a seal than working out, I would assume. Working out was his therapy but maybe his counter parts didn't need to PT for the same reasons as him. Breaking ppl physically becomes ineffective after a while.
His whole message is being as mentally tough as you are physically, and don't stop pushing. For most people, that's a lot harder. How many pushups can you do in one set? You shouldn't even know the answer to that, because you should refuse to stop. Most people don't have that in them.
@@EAL2310 As someone in the military that has worked closely with SF guys, most of that PT stuff is 100% useless above a certain point. The most important aspect is how well you do your job and can people trust you with their lives. You can brown-nose and blue falcon your way into certain circles with PT but once you're there, different things matter.
Doing a massive run before heart surgery, this guy has a strong mind
Some say he's an idiot.

He's also slightly crazy and that was a really dumb thing to do. I like him but that's some crazy shit, doing a massive 10 mile ruck run the SAME DAY he had heart surgery scheduled!
This old studio is so much nicer looking than the new one. New one is like some crazy Darth Vader sarcophagus
I ran a lot, and it suddenly started hurting a lot, but I kept going. The pain was my meniscus tearing. It’ll probably put me back 2,000$ and a whole year of fitness.
Once I rode 80 miles on my bike without stopping, when I did stop I lost consciousness. That could have been dangerous.
I don’t regret the second one because everything ended up fine. But the first one I regret like hell. If you suddenly feel a new pain, you should stop and try it the next day.
did you blackout cuz u stop all of sudden? when you are exercising hard u must stop step by step so your body can slow down safely
Thank you
Gabriel Hendrix cool down run
Gabriel Hendrix well it happened like 5 seconds after getting off the bike.
As an update that meniscus tear as put me back more like 6,000, and more like 3 years of fitness.
Hopefully just had the last surgery I’ll need.

What I noticed about goggins is the calmness in his eyes, completely at ease. He has been through it all and came out the other side. Enlightened seems like a fitting word.
Was not surprised to hear how he didn't fit in with the SEALS. Too hard. I was in SOCM with some. These were trident wearing SEAL pups on there way to SEAL teams other than 6 mind you still in their training pipeline. While I was an 18D SFQC trainee trying to earn my tab. We had a 100 pushup contest for time one day. It was comical some of these guys pushups they would go down about an inch or two not even close to breaking plane. It was a proud loss to them haha. To this day I still wonder if that is a legit, standard Navy pushup. For all the gunpowders out there I realize this was one mans encounter with SEALS I'm sure they are not all like that. This was not an exaggeration, though. Goggins is correct not all of SF is all that hard all the time. In that, yes they've made it through a very difficult assessment course but yes afterwards some get softer. Like he said many just want to graduate and forget the suck rather than embrace it and seek it constantly.
