"Getting sober is the only reason anything good since I got sober has happened. Nothing good about being a drunk and an addict for all those years,"
"You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad and complain or accept. Gratitude is one of the most powerful words to me now."
"It's one of the most coolest, funnest, wonderful jobs I could have. It just happened right out of a chance."
"Look, you ain't got nothing, there's 24 hours in a day, use them, let's go."
Mark Coleman moved from Hall of Fame fighter to a visible mentor and wild presence at PLN. He battled years of addiction, reached rock bottom, and credits sobriety as the turning point for subsequent good in his life. Gratitude now shapes his outlook and approach. Coleman joined PLN after a direct message to JT Tilley and became known for bold live moments, including taking a Chest Chop on live internet and a viral slapback. He pushes PLN athletes to maximize daily effort and is represented in the biopic The Smashing Machine, with Ryan Bader portraying him.
