Maximum Potential is Reality, Not Just Aspiration

The strength training program at Center Grove High School run by Marty Mills has transformed the culture of Center Grove athletics. The program is built upon the ideals of work ethic, integrity, and consistency. These pillars, along with the instruction of Coach Mills have allowed our athletes to gain a step (or maybe 10) on the surrounding competition. But beyond the kettle bells, sleds, and battling ropes, Coach Mills pours out his life experiences and knowledge to his pupils. From time to time, he sits his athletes down, and talks to them about the importance of giving, not just sports, but life your best. And the beauty of integrity is that the same man who says that, gives life, his family, his students, his very best. In recent weeks, Coach has put up a sign on the door to the weight room which only permits the admittance of those who are motivated. Perhaps this is the greatest lesson Mills has taught his athletes. That is, to achieve anything, you must be motivated by something.
