Redefining Strength from Boston to St. Louis: Part I

There was an amazing segment on ESPN recently about a program called Inner City Weightlifting out of Boston. The organization uses the sport of weightlifting to take at-risk youth off the streets and help them build the physical, mental and emotional strength to overcome violence, gangs and negative street culture.

The story of Inner City Weightlifting is very personal for me. I don't know anyone associated with Inner City Weightlifting or Boston for that matter. No, this is personal because the Inner City story has already taken place and continues to do so right here in St. Louis. Before I get to that, please watch an enjoy the ESPN story on Inner City Weightlifting (email subscribers click here).
