Why I Feel Like a Warrior Every Day
Manage episode 505288223 series 3670864
In this episode of The Battle Harder Podcast, Coach Rob sits down with Cole DeRosa — a 29-year U.S. Army veteran, Ranger, endurance athlete, and four-time Spartan World Champion.
At 53 years old, Cole is still competing (and winning) at the elite level, proving that age doesn’t define a warrior — mindset does. Together, they unpack:
- Why the warrior ethos must live beyond the uniform
- Lessons from combat in Baghdad and competing in the Best Ranger Competition
- How fitness became his shield against PTSD, TBI, and the challenges of transition
- His experience with Team Red, White, and Blue and carrying the American flag 275 miles across the country
- What it means to stop letting age define you and start defining your age
This is more than a conversation — it’s a masterclass in resilience, faith, and redefining what’s possible.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, too old, or too broken, Cole’s story will push you to put one more foot forward.
