Mental Toughness • 2m 30s
After 20 Years Training Elite Soldiers, MTNTOUGH COO, Retired Army Ranger Lieutenant Colonel and United States Military Academy Physical Education Instructor, Ara Megerdichian discusses Consistent Values.

But one of the things I hear a lot is, "Hey Ara, of course, you can do that. You're an Airborne Ranger. You can do things like this."
