CAREER
After his mission in Iraq, David Goggins lost many friends, urging him to re-adopt a radical way of life. To prove to the fallen families that they have not been forgotten and are not alone in their pain, he decided to do the world’s most challenging things. For example, an American won a super marathon through the “Valley of Death,” David had to run 217 kilometers in 48 hours. His kidneys failed when he qualified for the event, which resulted in blood loss.
Instead of breaking like everyone else, he gnawed the last few miles and grabbed some broken bones in his leg. For the next 100 miles running through the rocky jungle terrain, the American defeated himself but had to spend some time in a wheelchair. Although he has managed to raise a lot of money for the victims’ families’ foundation thanks to the media’s interest, David Goggins wants to beat himself and put his mental and physical condition to the test today.
Although David Goggins says he hates running, he has to get up every morning at 3:00, run 32km, and drive 40km to work. Later there are no quiet nights in front of the TV but sweaty sessions in the gym. The achievements that David Goggins has achieved during his lifetime are extraordinary.
Despite the most unfavorable conditions, the American passed one test after another and is now considered a great motivator and a true legend. The power of this man’s will is unmatched, so it is no exaggeration to say that David Goggins is one of the most challenging people in the world. Goggins also works as a motivational speaker and has given speeches to various athletes and teams ranging from Atlanta Hawks to football programs in universities like Tennessee.
