28. From 299 lbs to Jiu Jitsu Champion – Ricky's Transformation Story
What does it take to lose 100 pounds, rebuild your health, and rise to become a world-ranked Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion? In this inspiring transformation interview, Coach Cory sits down with longtime friend and athlete Ricky Romero to unpack his journey from near 300 lbs and unhealthy habits to building a new identity as a father, husband, coach, and competitor.
🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• How Ricky lost 100 lbs and kept it off through discipline and identity shifts
• The wake-up call moment that changed his mindset about family and health
• Why finding your “why power” is the secret to consistency
• The role of Jiu Jitsu, coaching, and community in fueling his comeback
• What sacrifices are required to perform at an elite level in sports and in life
• How to reverse-engineer your habits to align with the person you want to be
Ricky’s story is raw, hilarious, and deeply motivational—showing that transformation is never linear, but always possible when you anchor to your purpose.
