This article is about my friend William Bett. I met William on social media a couple of years ago, and we became fast friends.

We share mutual interests in basketball, ATG, and parenting (among other topics), and we are close to the same age.

When I began working for ATG in 2024, and was lucky enough to put my own programs on the ATG Online Coaching App, William was an early adoptee of my original Weekend Warrior training program.

I recently reached out to William to ask him how his training is going. He volunteered to share his results with the goal of hopefully inspiring others.

I interviewed him below:

How old are you?

I will be 44 (!) on March 2nd (tomorrow).
​
​Did you play any sports growing up?

I played organized soccer, baseball, basketball, and football, along with a variety of other informal ones.
​
​When did you start weight training?

Freshman year of HS.
​
​Do you have a history of injuries?

Nothing significant happened until a serious car wreck (19) which left me with permanent damage to my neck, back, and left foot, followed by a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease (23) which led to a long series of issues (much better now, but still ongoing).

​
​How and when did you start with ATG?

A very good friend would periodically send me the early Kneeovertoesguy YouTube videos (ca. mid to late 2020), and I just wasn't in the right headspace to watch them much less take action.

But by early 2021, I was tired of being an out of shape desk jockey, so I finally signed up for the online program in March of 2021.
​
​What ATG programs have you done?

Knee Ability Zero, Weekend Warrior, ATG Basics, and I'm probably forgetting one or two more.
​
​What do you like about Weekend Warrior in particular?

It's a thorough, full-body workout program that is time-efficient and flexible enough to fit my schedule and individual needs.
​
​What kind of results have you gotten?

Despite some inconsistency due to life circumstances (I'm not making excuses—just the reality), I continue to make progress with my strength, flexibility, and conditioning.

My progress is accelerating recently now that I am in a much better routine. I play in a weekly pickup basketball game, and I can feel it translating effectively on the basketball court and elsewhere.

I've recently had several people asking my "secrets" for still performing at a high level—not to mention being able to keep up with my kids!
​
​Anything else you’d like to add?

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough when it comes to exercising; do something rather than nothing because you lack the perfect amount of time, equipment, etc. Over time, this will add up significantly and keep you moving toward your goals.
