My Story

Brett Rivero

I’m 8 years old and I hear my mom and stepfather arguing. As I walk down the stairs to the basement I see my mother rip out a section of drywall in a fit of anger. My stepfather(an ex fighter in the NHL) looks at me and says, “You need to be a rock”. I feel completely helpless and weak. I feel I am never going to be strong enough to uplift all the pain and turmoil on my family. I felt like I must be strong.

I’m 18 and I’ve just been named captain for an elite prep school hockey team on a full ride because I’m Hispanic. I’m getting good grades, have tons of friends, working out everyday, have a great best friend and team mate, feeling strong in my body and crushing it. Then, I walk into the coaches office and I tell him, “I quit, this isn’t for me.” I throw away ten years of hard work, blood and sweat because I’m not strong enough to play this role. I don’t want anyone to see through my mask so I quit before I can be seen as the fraud I am.

I’m 28, I’ve worked hard at becoming the top automotive technician in my area, I have a 6 figure income, 3 race cars, 2 houses and a beautiful adoring wife. Then, my spine breaks. I can’t feel my hands and think to myself, “You will never be strong enough.” I pick up an old yoga book and start reading. The doctor tells me I have to have surgery on my spine or it will never heal. I can’t do that, inside something screams out “fuck no” don’t let them touch your spine. So I read and learn to fix my broken body. It hurts everyday like pins and needles are stabbing my hands and neck, alcohol won’t numb it, food doesn’t make me feel better, no amount of money or cars can heal this pain.-

I feel a crack in my neck and just start crying uncontrollably, not from the physical pain, but from the pain I have held in my whole life. It’s not that I wasn’t strong enough when I was a child, I am strong enough and always have been. I now realize true strength has always been inside of me and no one can take that away.

And now I speak to you:

I believe all men have the power to find their true strength, and it is my mission to empower you to unleash it.
