Hello Rhadi, thanks for taking the time to email me. I just wanted to let you know that I received The Inner Realm yesterday and it is far and away the most inspiring DVD that I've ever seen. I can't wait to get into the gym on Monday and start putting these concepts into practice. I was so pumped that after watching The Inner Realm, I put it on again while I skipped and did some calisthenics! Thanks again for this amazing product, I eagerly await more in the future!

Kind Regards,
Felipe


I had very high expectations when I ordered "The Inner Realm." I have to tell you, it greatly surpassed anything I could have imagined. I was desperately in need of motivation. I got that and so much more. I was sitting there mesmerized as I watched. I can't remember ever being that excited about anything. Unlike other so called "motivational" programs, this is, indeed, the "real deal." Every athlete should get "The Inner Realm." It teaches you how to approach your training and your sport.

But, I believe that everyone, not only athletes, should get this dvd. Because, not only does it teach you how to approach sports, but it teaches you how to approach life. This DVD contains invaluable tools that everyone can use. Rhadi, I cannot thank you enough. "The Inner Realm" changed my life.

Take care of yourself and may God bless you.

Sincerely,
Carlo Berto


The Inner Realm is a place where dreams begin. Olympians, Cara Head and Rhadi Ferguson give powerful testimonials and no nonsense talk and inspire viewers to be the absolute best. This video gives commanding evidence of the sacrifice and reward that Olympians and Paralympians MUST go through to become the greatest in their discipline on one given day, at one moment in time.

The raw footage in this video is powerful! The straight talk by Cara and Rhadi leads the viewer to only one conclusion, that no one is given success; it is earned, each hour, and each minute each second of each day.

Absolutely AMAZING is all I can say. Rhadi has put together a DVD that the very first time I watched it had me considering coming out of retirement. The INNER REALM is in a class by itself. It's the most motivating and inspirational DVD I've ever seen. The INNER REALM should in every athletes DVD collection bar none. After receiving the DVD I popped it in on a Saturday at my school and the entire school was mesmerized. The very next day I started to receive emails from my students asking how they could get their hands on The INNER REALM and what they needed to do to take their game to the next level. I'm talking about some of my Top Guns were so moved by this DVD that they wanted to re-evaluate their personal training philosophies and wanted to know what else could they do to get to the next level. This is what the INNER REALM will do for you, it will show you exactly what type of commitment and dedication is needed for you to succeed in ANY athletic sport. It will also make you look deep inside of yourself to make you deal with the harsh reality of what it actually takes to be a Champion, it will also motivate you to take your game to the next level. The INNER REALM has my highest recommendation, do yourself a favor right now and order The INNER REALM DVD.

The Inner Realm is one of the most straight forward, to the point motivational videos yet!

Cara Heads and Rhadi Ferguson, do an unbelievable job at telling you how it is and what you need to do mentally and physically to become the best at your sport. There is no sugar coating, just the straight truth on what it take to become and Olympian and an Olympic champion. If I had been giving the access to a video like the Inner Realm when I was on my climb to becoming one of the best Short track speedskaters in the nation and internationally I know that those bumps in the road would have had a much smaller effect. If you have been looking for the answer to all of your questions as to how and what it takes to be the best Cara and Rhadi will give you all the answers and then some. Having lived with Rhadi and Cara in the US Olympic training center and having seen the way they prepare and train I know that you are truly getting advice from the best!

Cara Heads and Rhadi Ferguson both show their incredible athletic ability and how they utilize it in their training in their video The Inner Realm. I have seen Cara compete for several years and have trained with her at the Olympic Training Center for a year. Throughout the entire time I have known her, Cara's poise and strength have remained constant and exemplary to all who compete in the sport of weightlifting.

The video shows the day that Cara jerked 137.5 kg but it does not capture how amazing it was in person. She was intent on getting that weight and she did it flawlessly, showing her intensity and determination in a workout. As she mentions, the technique of jerk that she competes and trains with is different from almost everyone but she is incredible at it and she knew this and refused to sacrifice her integrity in changing to what is more common. This is just one example of Cara's confidence and self-knowledge that only comes from being the best.

The advice that Cara and Rhadi have to give is valuable to anyone interested in focusing their attention on a sport seriously, which is also shown in the video through the personal experiences they have been through in training and competition. I know, as a fellow athlete, they have secrets about training to share and reveal them in their video, The Inner Realm.

"The Inner Realm is a great resource for athletes and coaches. It speaks, in plain language, from athlete to athlete, about what it takes to be a champion. Cara and Rhadi share their personal experiences with a focused physical and mental training program that will encourage aspiring athletes to dig deeper and "keep the lesson" from all competitions, win or lose.

Rhadi and Cara have put together a fine video describing the mental approaches that are needed by people striving for excellence. Whether you are an aspiring Olympic athlete, a coach, a student, or a business person, the ideas and concepts that Rhadi and Cara present are applicable to everyone.

There aren't many videos available by world-class athletes who describe exactly how they approach daily practice, injury recovery, competition, and life. This video describes a wonderful philosophy that you will enjoy hearing.

I believe that your life is dictated by the quality of questions you consistently ask yourself. This is exactly what Rhadi and Cara do. They challenge you with tough questions, and encourage you to develop your own insightful answers and take action. I highly recommend The Inner Realm!

Outstanding!! Cara and Rhadi put together a video that will definitely change the lives of coaches and athletes alike. I watched the video and I must say that I have a newfound respect for what it takes to be at the top of the game. As a 2-Time Pan American Champion in the Sport of Judo I understand what hard work and dedication is and what is required to step on the line on any given day and give 110%. It was good to see it illustrated, verbalized and addressed in this video. The Inner Realm is definitely a video that you want to have in your library. I can watch it over and over again and get more motivated than I was before. This video is AWESOME and I highly recommend it.

One more thing - if you want to be a champion - why not listen to two of them? Rhadi and Cara have taken the time out to share with you in 30 minutes what took them an athletic lifetime to learn!! Take advantage of this great opportunity!

I have know and coached Cara Heads for over 10 years, she is one of the most dedicated and focused athletes I have ever been associated with. Cara's video can help the young athlete and coach to understand what it takes to become a World Class Athlete. The ideals and energy that Cara brought to the World stage she shares with you. By watching this video and putting into practice what is said you can improve your own performance as an athlete, coach or in your everyday life. I would encourage anyone in any walk of life to buy and use Cara's video, it can help you achieve your goals whatever they might be.

Awesome!!! Rhadi and Cara really outdid themselves with this movie - The Inner Realm is a powerful motivational weapon, now available for our enjoyment. When I sat down to watch it, I was exhausted after a hard day of school, work and training, and believed only a hammock and coconut water at the beach could motivate me… but I was wrong! The smart, direct and aggressive speeches given by Cara and Rhadi, intercalated with amazing clips of Rhadi's world-famous leg-picks and Cara's inhuman lifts sent chills through my body, pumping adrenaline through my veins… I was seriously reconsidering my life and goals right there at the spot! I recommend this tape to anyone who's focused on a goal… be it athletic or not. And if you don't have a goal… then you REALLY NEED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!

The Inner Realm, with Rhadi Ferguson and Cara Heads, is a must-have for any athlete who truly wishes to achieve their potential through dedicated training and mental focus in their sport. As an athlete who has lived and trained with the best athletes of all sports at the Olympic Training Center for nearly four years, Rhadi Ferguson and Cara Heads have both clearly demonstrated to me through their training and their results that they know how to use all that they have inside of them to become the best at what they do. Having viewed hours upon hours of Rhadi's work in the weightroom alongside other world-class athletes, I can assure you that nobody brings more intensity and purpose to training than Rhadi. With equal intensity in her workouts, Cara Heads has shown me more focus and careful calculation with her workouts and training plans than any other athlete I've seen… her results are proof that what she does works.

The Inner Realm has helped me to re-ignite the passion I bring to my training and helped me to be more excited about achieving the necessary preparation to become the best at my sport. To me The Inner Realm is not just a cinematic workout guide, it is a celebration of improvement, achievement, and my journey to utilizing all that is inside of me.

I think back fondly of Rhadi completing his first 6 AM wrestling practice, as a walk-on who was on FULL Football scholarship he could have still be sleeping, allowing his body to recover from a brutal football season. The commitment, drive and enthusiasm that I witnessed that morning was unmatched and was just a fraction of what was to come!

The Inner Realm will inspire you to reassess your goals and push yourself beyond yesterday's standards. I would recommend "The Inner Realm" to any young athlete and young coach who want a peek behind the finished product to get a better understanding of what it takes to get there. Cara and Rhadi do an outstand job of letting you know what it takes to be successful mentally and physically in athletics and life. If I were still coaching the "Inner Realm" would be required viewing as part of both my season opening and end of season presentation.

I have lived and trained with Rhadi Ferguson and Cara Heads for the past two years. I can honestly say that you will not meet anyone with more champion-type attributes than these two individuals. They are champions, inside the sports arena and out!

I have witness Rhadi and Cara do things that if I had not seen it with my own two eyes I would not have believed it. Just seeing them train the way they do lets me know that I am capable of so much more.

Rhadi never enters the weight room without a plan or purpose. While he trains he does not talk. He does not complain. He is completely focused on his goal. He lives in the moment of doing what needs to be done in order to be a champion. Notice, Id did not say what he wants to get done - IT IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!

The video the Inner Realm has inspired me and helped me with my training. Also, The Inner Realm has inspired and assisted me to be on top within every area of my life, not just sports. The Inner Realm taught me that Champion qualities extend further than the weight room, these qualities can also be used in the classroom and the boardroom too.

Rhadi has the tools of a champion. He is a certified strength and conditioning coach. In a addition to that he has a Masters of Arts of Teaching in Education and he has the tools and techniques to nurture anyone into becoming a champion. Cara Heads is an Olympian, an American Record Holder, a 7-time National Champion a certified USA Weightlifting coach and the strongest woman mentally and physically I know.

If you are locked in a prison of not living or working up to you champion potential. The Inner Realm is what you need, because The Inner Realm is the TRUTH - and the TRUTH shall set you free!!!!

The Inner Realm is an accurate assessment of what it takes to be the best. In combining their knowledge, Rhadi Ferguson and Cara Heads have made available a first-hand account of what it takes, both physically and mentally, in becoming the best of the best. As an athlete with the same goals of high achievement, I consider myself fortunate to have heard what Rhadi and Cara have presented in this fantastic video. Unlike other videos, The Inner Realm is clear, concise, and straight to the point. This video holds no false promises or fake advice.

Trust me, I've seen these two individuals train in practice and they are as real as they come and as strong as they seem. What better way to learn than to see first hand how to train, what to watch for, and what is needed to become Number One? As a window into the world of superior athletes, this video is a must-have for those striving to be the best in their sport. It doesn't get much better than this. The Inner Realm is quite literally, the simple truth about being a champion!

I recently watched the Inner Realm video by Rhadi Ferguson and Cara Heads. As a member of the United States Olympic Team in the sport of Freestyle Wrestling I can relate to the things they talk about in the video. This is a great video for athletes of all ages. The video is a great motivational tool that can relate to athletics as well as many other aspects of life as far as motivation to succeed at anything you do.

Owning this video is a must!! After watching this video I personally felt as though there is no obstacle that I can't conquer. Rhadi and Cara made me feel like through hard work and dedication anything is possible. I must say thanks to Rhadi and Cara for making this video available, people from all walks of life can and will relate to their message.

Purchase The Inner Realm you will not regret it!!! Actually you will feel pretty good about it. You will not make a better purchase in terms of you athletic development all year!

I first heard of Rhadi Ferguson from his many great accomplishments in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions. He is one of those people who you know will be a force in his division. What is it that takes him to this level? What is it that keeps him on the podium? After visiting his website www.rhadi.com, I received some of those answers. Rhadi offers instrumental advice that has truly enhanced my training philosophies and daily routines. His emails, continual support and video "The Inner Realm" have all provided me with the necessary tools and plans to take my own game and training to the next level.

Rhadi has completely changed the way in which I view my sport. I used to simply train hard 5 or more times a week in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and that was it. I felt like that was enough, if not more than enough to reach my full potential. By developing a game plan for both the gym and the academy, I have been able to reach goals that I would have otherwise probably not even set. My mental focus during my training and the weeks leading up to competitions has been greatly altered by Rhadi's personal commitment and desire to helping me succeed. I continue to incorporate some of Rhadi's philosophies and strategies into my life and I am constantly excited to train hard and excel past goals that I have set and strive for new ones.

The Inner Realm is an amazing video that instantly changed my outlook on training. Training hard is one thing, but training full of intensity with your goals in mind is another. Seeing the intensity and dedication that both Cara and Rhadi commit to achieving their goals was truly inspirational. Anyone who wants to elevate his/her game to the next level needs to watch this video and see what separates Cara and Rhadi from the rest in their respective fields. Their speeches, supported by their actions, clearly demonstrate that they know exactly what it takes to be great and lead you on the path to greatness yourself. I already find myself focused on new goals and excited to train hard.
