What does it take to be a Best Ranger? Strength, endurance, skill, physical and mental stamina tested to the maximum…60 continuous hours, 60 miles, no programmed sleep and that’s just for starters. Best Ranger 2019 just wrapped up yesterday. This week’s guest Mike competed in Best Ranger 2017 representing his regiment. Find out who won yesterday and how Rangers earn the right to represent their regiment in this ultimate warrior competition from this insider. For about three decades, Best Ranger has challenged two-buddy teams with multiple days of mind-blowingly tough events. Mike Prendergast joins Allison in the bad ass new TT HQ (check out social media for a peek at the killer view, sweet pool table and ginormous bar). For starters, you need to be a decathalon-level soldier-athlete and Airborne Ranger qualified…Mike explains how they prepare mentally and physically to achieve selection for the honor to represent your regiment and to tackle one of the world’s toughest competitions. Mike also shares his insider’s perspective on the staggeringly hard-core competition designed to find the best Rangers in the entire US Armed Forces. What can you expect? Rifle, pistol and machine gun marksmanship, day and night demolition, weapons assembly, rope climbing, rappelling, bayonet assault course, night land nav….to name a few. And yes, you force multipliers may recognize Mike from Men’s Health or his viral video out on the range blowing stuff up with precision targeting. You get to hear about that, but Allison also convinces Mike to share his top tips to overcoming seemingly impossible challenges. His approach has given him epic success, so hook yourself up with some tips to harness for your own goals.
