G Peterson“After reading ‘How A Champion Is Made’, not only did I want reschedule my kid’s after school activities, I wanted to reschedule my own! You see and you feel the dedication and the passion that Steve Cardillo has for his field. If he could bottle that, it would sell more than any supplement on the market.”

Jose RaymondIn my 18 years of competitive experience, I have found that no matter how hard, heavy, or often I trained my chest, it would not grow like the rest of my body. Instead of spinning my wheels, I decided to embrace the body parts that did respond, like my legs. I am now known for having some of the very best legs in the division. This is not to say that I neglect my chest, but rather that I maximize my strengths and hide my weaknesses.

Bodybuilding is all about illusion and by having legs that jump out and have a WOW factor, I have managed to catapult myself to the very top of my field. I did it the Cardillo Way! Thank you, Steve, for all of your help, knowledge, and insight. I am sure many others will be thanking you soon after reading this book.

Vernon CrawfordI was barely a teenager, growing up in Texas, when I began hitting the weights. It proved dividends for me, because when I got to high school I hit the ground running.

When football began, I never stopped. I carried out my work ethic right through to the end of the season. The reason was I never wanted the guy next to me to have an advantage. I’d run, do sit-ups, or flip tires if I had to, to get ahead. Furthermore, I knew by strength training early and often I’d have a better chance of avoiding injuries.

Without question, training with weights as a young kid proved to be advantageous for me, all the way until my last game as a pro.

"I never knew a person that was bigger, stronger and faster than the rest, but was not confident. It doesn’t happen.  Confident people are effective leaders in all aspects of life. The only way to gain confidence is to force yourself outside of your comfort zone. The more you experience, the more you grow as an individual. Through growth, comes confidence. It all began for me, training with weights at an early age."
