Former Pro NFL/CFL player Marc Megna opens up about his life and career from playing in the big leagues to opening up the hottest gym's in the USA.

In this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast, I've had the opportunity to sit down and talk with a very special guest, a former NFL and CFL football player for the New York Jets, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and Montreal Alouettes, Marc Megna. Marc shares his story on how at a very young age, he had a different outlook on life. Far from who he is today, Marc said that he was a shy and awkward kid. He grew up out of shape and it made him avoid spending time with others as he had fear of being made fun of by others. Today, we discussed his past experience and how it helped him and how he used it to help other people that needed someone to boost their self-esteem and a guide to help them get to the next stage in their life. As he began inspiring others with his demanding fitness regimens and, more importantly, the impressive results of notorious hard work - he was able to train clients from every walk of life, and tailored programs for the most serious athlete to the motivated beginners. Marc is the co-owner of Anatomy Fitness in Miami and creator of the Megna Method, which combines 4 phases of Movements to create optimal strength, conditioning and performance. Listen how Marc became successful despite the challenges and struggles he's been through and how he surpassed all of them. As Marc says, "You need to focus on what's in front of you while you work hard toward the things down there. But you will never get down there unless you pay attention to the things in front of you." What will you discover: •How the power of action can change the trajectory of our lives. •What is the process behind the Megna Method. •How we can generate massive success in our health, fitness and mindset. •Marc's perspective on why people fail. •How our negative mindset can affect our confidence and disrupt our flow in work.

Thank you for kicking off the New Year with us! You know there is nothing closer to my heart than the story of someone not only dreaming big but finding ways to chase those dreams. Such is the story of today’s guest. Join us for more! Marc Megna is co-owner of Anatomy Fitness gym and a top strength and conditioning coach in Miami, helping hundreds of clients--from celebrities and professional athletes to motivated beginners--achieve their fitness goals. Adhering to the “Dream big, never quit” motto that Marc learned from his mother, he put in years of hard work and unrelenting dedication to transform his life. After playing football and earning a degree in sociology at the University of Richmond, Marc was drafted by the New York Jets in 1999. During his seven-year professional football career, he played for the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, and Montreal Alouettes.  Now an elite trainer and fitness model, Marc has written for such publications as Fitness RX and Dr. Oz. He’s been featured on the cover of Inside Fitness and Muscle & Fitness magazines. You can listen to his motivating Megna Method podcast and visit www.megnamethod.com. Sports as a coping mechanism How do you cope with life’s problems? Marc learned early on that sports were his coping mechanism for dealing with a difficult childhood. He was a shy, insecure, fat kid, but sports were a big deal in his family. Since he figured out that athletes gained the respect of others, that’s what Marc aspired to become. Being a top athlete became his mission as a young kid, and he was determined to work harder than anyone else. His perseverance paid off, and he made it to the NFL. Now, with a profession built on sports and fitness, Marc can impact others’ lives with his talents.  TWEET: Being a top athlete became Marc’s mission as a young kid, and his perseverance paid off. @marcmegna #chasingdreams The end of a football career How do you know when it’s time to move on? Even though Marc loved his time in the NFL, it was pretty clear to him that he needed to try something else after a series of injuries. He sustained a severe knee injury and infection that almost cost him his leg, and since his knee was compromised, his body was out of alignment. This led to a serious tear in his back, and he knew his football career was over. Marc learned that a significant time commitment is required in anything in which you wish to succeed, and he knew that football coaching was not the route he wanted to take. His current career as a gym co-owner and fitness coach takes a lot of his time, but he genuinely enjoys the time he spends investing in others.  TWEET: After a series of injuries, Marc knew he needed to try something else, and football coaching was not the route he wanted to take. @marcmegna #chasingdreams Don’t get stuck! How do you “show up”? Marc explains that it’s great to show up every day, but what you do when you’re there is important. Doing the same thing over and over again will not yield a different result. Most people are deathly afraid of getting outside their comfort zone. When what you do each day is a drudgery that you hate, then you’re probably stuck in your comfort zone. Do what it takes to get unstuck!

This is not about sets and reps. Marc Megna was made by mentors.  Mentors like Belichick, Parcells, Carroll and Jim Reid.  Yea.  Those kind of mentors.  I have been fascinated with Marc's leadership qualities since the moment I met him and was SO grateful to be able to dive DEEP into his upbringing to uncover what it was that made him into leader and the visionary that he is today.  No surprise, it started WAY before his career in the NFL with his Mother and Grandfather being extremely influential players. Currently, Marc is the leader at Anatomy gym in Miami, Florida where he leads a TEAM of personal trainers.  He and the Anatomy TEAM are undoubtedly one of the most knowledge seeking, positive groups of people I have ever had the pleasure of being around.  Clearly, this stems from their leadership in Marc.  I truly respect Marc and what he has been able to accomplish, but furthermore what he has been able to contribute to his TEAM, his community, his wife and many other people.   Highlights:  1. What kind of car he drives. (This will surprise you.) 2. What he said he wanted to be when he grew up. 3. The incredible impact of his mother and other key mentors in his life. 4. How he knew every detail of popular football players growing up even though he couldn't afford ESPN or magazines to get the information.  5. What it was like playing for Bill Belichik 6. When he said he couldn't afford a full ride scholarship because he didn't really know what that meant. 7. How he went from not being able to afford football cleats, to playing for the New England Patriots

Are you doing everything possible to be the best at what you do? And if you are, are you helping someone else be the best that they can be as well? Here are my thoughts why being a team player is important in life and what constitutes a team player.

Today we are joined by Anatomy at 1220’s Marc Megna discussing the steps taken from being an less than average athlete, to the NFL, to owning the best gym in Miami. We start out talking about what drove him to training and what he fell in love when it came to training. He then shares with us what drove him to sports and how different people that think they only affected him athletically have driven him to be the person he is today. He then discusses how being an athlete has impacted him as a coach, and him being a coach impacted him as an entrepreneur, and discusses how they all work together to build a team. We then discuss building your team, what he looks for, and some huge green lights and red flags he looks for. He then gives some fantastic information including some different methods he has utilized to develop his staff educationally, professional, and personally. We finish off talking about leadership methods he’s utilized successfully and things he’s seen that aren’t as positive in making things move forward. ENJOY THE CONTENT?
