CORDARROW THOMPSON
NOSE TACKLE #67
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
“Since I’ve been in college, I’ve had my ups and downs with football. I couldn’t understand how to lose weight and fat and gain muscle until I got an email from Eugene T. Lee. I called him and when I first talked to him I thought he was real cool and he had passion for what he was doing. Every time I called him, he always called me back and kept me up on info and explained everything to me to the bone. For some reason, I just took his word and believed him and when I saw the difference in my body - how I lost fat and turned it into muscle and got faster then I ever did before, I started to believe in him and everything he told me and that he was guiding me down the right path . Just by believing this man, I stepped up my game as a man, a father and as an athlete. I now believe that I am unstoppable and I can’t be stopped unless I allow myself to be stopped. I’m ready to pursue my lifelong dream of playing on the Pittsburgh Steelers and coming out of that tunnel to play on national TV in front of millions. All because I had a guy, a friend, a man and an agent that believed in me and made this happen – ETL and Eugene T. Lee. I just wanted to say thank you, man. Keep up the good work.”
