Dragon Door Interviews RKC Team Leader, Darius Gilbert

Being an athlete I know when something feels right, and kettlebell training felt great. I still feel just as strong, explosive, and capable of doing many of the same things I did when I played football at the University of Virginia.

Dragon Door Interviews Luke Tipple, RKC-II, Asst Olympic Strength & Conditioning Coach, Ohio State University
