Accomplishments
My name is Rob Mandel and I served as an Army Artillery Officer for 8 years before getting out in 2018. When I got out, I was excited to fully enjoy the freedoms I had earned but I was surprised to find myself slipping and feeling isolated. I missed the camaraderie and accountability.
After speaking with fellow Veterans, I realized that this was more common than not. I decided to try and find a way for Veterans to connect and again work together towards a common goal.
The "Team Before Self Competition" is a Team versus Team, holistic health competition designed to be integrated within your busy life. Holistic health? You mean like spirit crystals and journaling my feelings? Not really.
In our view, holistic health is about STRENGTH. STRENGTH of mind, STRENGTH of body, STRENGTH of relationships and STRENGTH of purpose.
When we served, we pushed one another. We pushed the limits of what we thought we were capable of because we were part of a team, and losing wasn’t an option.
Losing is still not an option. Your families, your communities and your country need your strength and your leadership. Your service is not over. Get your team together.
