Warrior Mindset: LOTR


"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."


This week MTNTOUGH COO Ara Megerdichian brings us a powerful message reminding us that we do not get to chose the time we live in. But we do get to chose what we do with the time we are given.  No matter how negative the world gets around us there is always positive ways to make an impact.



MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab located in Bozeman, MT, has established itself as the elite source for improving mental toughness, physical preparation, and performance research for the backcountry hunter, military, and first responder athlete.


They have assembled an impressive team for this task, including Alex Fichtler (Former US Navy SEAL), Ara Megerdichian (US Army Ranger, Lieutenant Colonel and former West Point Instructor), and Jimmy Alsobrook (Mountain Training Legend & National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer).

Lifelong backcountry hunter and MTNTOUGH’s founder, Dustin Diefenderfer, explains, “ We strive to find out what makes the excellent tick, and what gives them the indomitable, never quit, next ridgeline mentality and strength. We study it, measure it, test it, unpack it and then teach it to others.”
