It also allows for modern strength and conditioning modalities modeled after professional and Division I athletic performance facilities. Derrick Martin, former N-F-L defensive back: “So I feel like the best way to be able to give back to the military and show them how I support [them] is by coming through, doing things like this, showing them how to workout and kind of boost morale.” Outro: Derrick Martin teamed up with another former N-F-L player, Emmanuel “Manny” Arceneaux and led several Marines exercises to help break-in the WARR new gear.
