Confidence is the cornerstone of success in any personal, professional and performance endeavour. But many of us get caught in a vicious cycle of telling ourselves what we can't do, rather than what we can. And we repeatedly talk ourselves down in a way that we would never dare dream of speaking to our friends, family or colleagues. This was the case for leading strength coach Jay Ferruggia who, despite his many successes in his 30-year coaching career, wasn't always the calm, collected and confident man we meet in our exclusive Unfiltered interview. In a wide-ranging conversation with Unfiltered contributing editor Dr Jonny Rees, PhD, that also covers his world-leading expertise on training, nutrition and recovery for strength, hypertrophy and optimal performance, Ferruggia explains how he built unwavering confidence and self-belief in his own abilities which propelled him to success, and how you can learn to become a master storyteller to take back control of your internal narrative to start living the life you've always wanted.

You may have seen his work in Men’s Health, Muscle & Fitness, Maximum Fitness, Men’s Fitness, Fast Company, Huffington Post, LiveStrong, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Shape, Entrepreneur, Details or on ESPN or CBS. You know how group training is the big thing these days? He was doing that in the mid 90’s. The hardcore, underground warehouse gyms that are so popular nowadays? He had one of those back in ’96. Training like an athlete? Flipping tires, dragging sleds, pressing logs, using rings? He has been doing that for 20+ years with his clients, long before it was popular or on TV commercials. What you may not know is that over the course of his life he's been physically and mentally weak, skinny, fat, sad, depressed, insecure, painfully shy, socially awkward, crippled with anxiety and indecision, struggled with addiction, and have gone broke on more than one occasion.
