Training for Greatness: meet Bears All pro center Olin Kreutz and how he made it
This is a great article about Oahu native Olin Kreutz who anchors that super dominate Chicago Bears Offensive Line. Olin trains harder than almost anyone and has made himself into an All Pro Center through hard work and determination. Coach Derby had this to say about Olin and his training regimen which started with his modest family home gym:
"You don't go there to look at yourself in the mirror or you'll get your butt kicked," said Brian Derby, a former Hawaii coach who runs lineman clinics on the island and around the world. "If you want to be a pretty boy, put on your Speedo and go to the beach. Society is missing what George (Olin's Grandfather) instills. It's about discipline. You respect yourself because you're there to be the best you can. He teaches you to be a responsible, respectful person, but to not take [junk] from anyone and be one tough son of a [gun]."
