Strength in Every Way

Col. Ruth’s (Ret.) journey isn’t just about physical strength; it’s about resilience, commitment, and inspiring others. When Col. Ruth was told by his high school football coach that strength training was the key to making varsity, he took that advice to heart. He started lifting weights and never looked back. This foundation of dedication and discipline carried him through high school, college, and into his career, shaping him into the leader he is today.

Lifting Competitions

Strength in Leadership

Through lifting, Col. Ruth demonstrates resilience, discipline, and an unbreakable bond with those he mentors.

THE FOUNDATION OF STRENGTH

“My high school football coach told me if I wanted to play on varsity one day that I had to lift weights. So, I just listened to my coach and started picking up heavy things.”

"I didn’t get the email that told me to stop listening to my coach, so I just continued to do it after high school and at A&M."

Competitive Spirit in Service

“It wasn’t really until my first deployment as a lieutenant in Macedonia 30 years ago that I realized how much soldiers like to compete with their officers.....”
