Resiliency Project was started by a very inspiring couple of individuals- Troy Willis and Dr. Kelly Starrett. I have had the opportunity to work with this project and help spread the message about what resiliency is all about. Helping veterans and active duty service members overcoming adversity is what this project represents. I have been able to provide Marc Pro units and other healing modalities to veterans and service members who need the care. I am thankful for this project, but more importantly thankful to be able to work with such resilient folks like Troy and Kelly who live their life out loud and dedicate endless hours to helping our service members get the care they need. I am thankful I get to work with veterans and active duty service members daily and have the support of Resiliency Project in the work I do.
1. Who is Troy Willis?
Troy Willis is a father, husband, believer, vet, CrossFitter, and philanthropist.
2. What is the Resiliency Project?
The Resiliency Project started as a collaboration between Kelly Starrett and Troy Willis to help our armed forces recover from serving our country. It has grown from the genesis moment in 2011 and is now aiming to get CrossFit gyms involved and to have an open door policy with service members reintegrating into civilian life. The idle mind mixed with PTSD has devastating effects on our soldiers. Our first line of defense in preventing suicide is to keep the troops moving -literally moving, with our high intensity workouts in CrossFit. It promotes a mind body connection that brings the conscientiousness to the here and now.
3. What is the WHY behind the Resiliency Project?
I served in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and after becoming a CrossFit Coach and Affiliate, years later, it just made sense to help veterans and everybody for that matter. My WHY, is for all those men and women that have paid the ultimate sacrifice serving our country.
4. Who is your target audience for Resiliency Project?
The target audience for the project are the armed forces looking for an edge that will help them escape the clutches of depression and CrossFit Affiliate owners that understand the connection between mind and body but ultimately want to help our troops.
5. What are you most proud of in your life?
I am most proud of my two boys, Theo (11) and Moseley (8). They see the world with their big hearts and open minds.
6. Who inspires you the most?
I am inspired by people with integrity. It’s a simple thing really.
7. If you could have one super power what would it be?
If I had one super power that would be the ability to fly like superman.
8. What is your favorite quote?
My favorite quote is, “So you’re saying there’s a chance?” I never take “No” for an answer and always looks for ways to do things so this quote best defines my nature.
9. What is your definition of a Warrior?
To me a Warrior is someone that stands up for more than just their own beliefs. They stand up for their tribe’s beliefs and are willing to die to protect that tribe. Our tribe is the people of the United States.
