Those in attendance on Sunday got to hear from VFL and former NFL running back Gerald Riggs Jr., who runs a fitness business of his own, while also coaching football at Cleveland High School outside of Chattanooga.
“Kids – they all have dreams of playing at the next level,” Fudge said. “So, I wanted to show my clients, if you work hard, have the proper training – this is where you could be at.”
Both men also know the power of surrounding yourself with driven people when it comes to the world of athletic training.
“Everybody is looking for a leg up, right,” Riggs Jr. said. “Everybody is looking for that edge. So, if you can get with somebody that’s knowledgeable – that understands the game and understands how to train the body and the mind … any opportunity to gain an edge, you want to take advantage of it.”
