Elevate: Training the Next Generation

The gym smelled of sweat and determination. The sound of sneakers squeaking against the polished wood floor mixed with the rhythmic bouncing of basketballs. It was another late evening practice, and the team was already exhausted. But Brock Gold 46 wasn’t done with them yet.

“Alright, listen up!” Brock’s voice echoed through the gym as the players caught their breath. “You think you’re tired? You think you’ve hit your limit? Nah. That’s just your mind lying to you.”

Some of the players groaned. The scrimmage had been brutal—fast-paced drills, full-court sprints, and defensive breakdowns. Sweat dripped from their jerseys, and legs felt like concrete. But Brock wasn’t here to let them settle. He was here to unlock something deeper.

He pointed to the hoop. “Who wants it?”

A younger player, Malik, stepped forward. He was quick, had good handles, but his confidence wavered under pressure. “I do, coach,” he said, chest rising and falling rapidly.

Brock smirked. “Alright then, Malik. You’ve been holding back all night. Let’s see if you can break through.”

The challenge? Dunk. Malik wasn’t the tallest, wasn’t the strongest, but Brock had seen the power in his legs. It wasn’t about height—it was about mindset, about pushing through the doubt.

The team gathered around as Malik took his stance. Brock crouched next to him, speaking low but firm. “You think you can’t? That’s the problem. You can. But you gotta take off like you mean it. Stop hesitating. Jump through it.”

Malik took a deep breath. He dribbled once, twice—then exploded forward. His feet left the ground, arms reaching high, but the ball smacked against the rim and bounced away.

“Again,” Brock ordered.

Malik gritted his teeth, stepping back to reset. The gym was silent now, the only sound his heavy breathing. This time, Brock clapped his hands. “Forget the miss. It doesn’t exist. Attack the rim like you own it.”

Malik nodded. He sprinted forward, took flight—and slammed the ball through the hoop. DUNK.

The gym erupted. His teammates cheered, slapping his back, hyping him up. Brock grinned and nodded. “Told you.”

The lesson wasn’t about dunking. It was about breaking past what you think you can’t do.

Brock turned to the rest of the team. “This? This is why we don’t stop at ‘good enough.’ You don’t know what you’re capable of until you push past the doubt.”

They weren’t just players anymore. They were warriors. And they were ready for whatever came next.

Giving back to the community isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s about building character, discipline, and confidence. Just like Malik pushed past his limits, every young athlete has the potential to become something greater. That’s what the Golden Army stands for: transformation, strength, and brotherhood.

Whether on the court, in the gym, or in life, the Golden Army is about pushing beyond limits, supporting each other, and striving for greatness. If you’re ready to challenge yourself, grow stronger, and become part of something bigger—join the movement.

Step up. Rise higher. Get golden.

How can getting more sleep improve my gym success?

We've already discussed how doing out can improve your sleep, but did you know that obtaining the proper amount of sleep can also improve your ability to work out? This is the approach...

Sleep is when the body really recovers:

Any kind of exercise works by putting the body under stress and creating little injuries that must be healed. The body will recover stronger and better equipped to withstand the burden the next time around if the repairs proceed as planned. Your body seems to go into full recovery mode as you sleep. Research has shown that growth hormone levels jump dramatically at night, but only when participants are soundly asleep.

It doesn't matter if you lift weights or run—sleep is necessary for both recuperation and improvement. Make sure you allow adequate time for your body to rest and recuperate from your workouts if you want to know whether your efforts in the gym are paying off. Not only should you think about getting enough sleep, but you should also schedule frequent rest days to avoid working out every day.

2. Poor sleep promotes fat gain:

Lack of sleep is directly linked to higher levels of the hormone ghrelin, which causes hunger, lower levels of the hormone leptin, which causes satiety, poor insulin sensitivity, which causes fat to be deposited more readily, and other factors, according to a 2009 analysis of the scientific literature. In the end, this means that lack of sleep can set off a series of negative events that culminate in weight increase. Making sure you're getting enough sleep is a smart idea if your gym goals are centered around losing weight, as for many of us, the last thing we want is to increase our appetite while simultaneously storing more fat.

3. Sleep deprivation means 'hitting the wall' faster:

Studies have revealed that while mild sleep deprivation doesn't seem to have a direct effect on cardiovascular response or muscle strength, it does shorten the duration until fatigue sets in. Furthermore, people who lack sleep always have higher levels of perceived effort, which means that whatever activity they undertake will feel far more difficult and uncomfortable regardless of their actual condition.

The main takeaway from all of this is that not only will you feel much worse about getting up, going to the gym, and starting your workout in the first place, but you won't have as much energy to get in a quality workout or for a prolonged workout, which is particularly bad for endurance athletes.
