Gary Rossi

Brandon - CSU Fullerton AROTC (Testimonial)

Of all the influences I have had in my life so far, Coach Rossi has been one of the biggest impacts of my life for my dreams in becoming an Army officer. If it weren't for Coach Rossi, I do not know where I would be right now in terms of leadership and physical fitness. As a result of Coach Rossi's training, I have become much more physically fit than before but most importantly, he provided calluses for my mind. With Coach Rossi, my mental toughness was always challenged and I was always questioned "how bad do you want it?" I met Coach Rossi early in my high school career as a sophomore but never trained with him personally until I found out about his high school Navy SEAL team my final year of high school. I joined because I wanted to be the best that I could be and he made sure that he would always beat my body and mind down in order to reach that goal. I am now a college student at Cal State Fullerton doing Army ROTC and I am part of the top 3 freshmen in terms of physical fitness. Coach Rossi is one of the few people that I want to attend my commissioning ceremony because he has helped so much in terms of physical fitness and in life. He is selfless in everything he does and the only reward he gets in being selfless is seeing the work kids are willing to put in and improvements they make. For Coach Rossi, I will become the best cadet of my graduating class in 2021. Thank you Coach Rossi for everything you have done. Couldn't be where I am today without you.

My Experience with Coach Gary Rossi was like no other. He knew your goal and showed you what it takes to make it there. He pushed me and I accomplished more than I thought I could. Every single thing that he does has a reason and an outcome to teach and condition your mind and body. When he was coaching me he taught me what it takes to reach my goal and then showed me exactly what to do to make my a goal a reality. Thank you Coach Gary.

Russell - Columbia, South Carolina (Testimonial)

My time with Coach Gary was amazing. I learned more in the two weeks than I ever could have imagined. I learned that you can continue to keep working and pushing forward even after reaching what you thought was your limit. He taught me that the only limits you have are the ones that you put on yourself. During our workouts together he pushed me to be the best version of myself possible. Coach & Navy Frogman/SEAL Gary helped me and showed me how close I actually am to accomplishing and crushing my goals in life. He is the most motivating Coach/Mentor I've ever had the privilege in working with. He is certainly a class act and the best of the best. Thank you Coach Gary!

Derek Thompson (Testimonial)

Ever since I was in 6th grade I have always known what I've wanted to do with my life I wanted to become a rescue swimmer , it wasn't until I hit high school when I met Gary Rossi that I realized it was possible to achieve this goal Gary has always been there to offer words of encouragement and pushing me to get through to the next obstacle or excersize and always has been there at extreme hours making sure I had the right form and was getting in a proper workout, Gary didn't stop at the physical build up of me and fellow athletes he's taught us all to be mentally tough, and that has helped me tremendously, on 20130729 I signed my rescue swimmer contract with NAVY and repaid Gary the only way I could by making him proud , I want to thank you coach Rossi for everything couldnt have done it without you sir

Philip Schofield (Testimonial)

My stepson Alan Rogers trained with Gary Rossi for three years. Gary Rossi has played a big role in getting Alan Rogers on a direct path to the United States Naval Academy class of 2018. He has coached and trained Alan for three years. Gray's combined talents of leader, trainer, coach, mentor and friend have contributed to the physical and mental toughness Alan has developed. Gary Rossi has done a tremendous amount of great work training Alan Rogers and the other members of the Del Norte team to compete in the Navy SEAL Invitational for the last three years. The team has one first place finish and two second place finishes. The team members have developed physically and mentally under the rigorous and demanding training of Gary Rossi. One of the team members has enlisted in the Navy to be a rescue swimmer. Any athlete will benefit from spending time training with Gary Rossi.
