Redefining Strength: Daniel Yores on Recovery, Reinvention, and Resilience

Mike “C-Roc” welcomes Daniel Yores a fitness coach from Toronto with a story of grit, growth, and redefining identity. Daniel opens up about his early years of battling recurring knee dislocations that plagued him from age 11 to 20, ultimately leading to a rare and intensive surgery performed by one of the only specialists in Ontario. He shares the emotional and physical challenges of being sidelined from sports and losing his sense of self, as well as the long and painful recovery process—one that included over three months of being unable to walk. Despite being told he’d never lift weights or play sports again, Daniel defied the odds. Now, not only is he squatting full range again, but he’s also coaching others to reclaim their health and strength. The two dive into Daniel’s transition from aspiring chiropractor to personal trainer, the mental hurdles of embracing a new path, and the importance of persistence, adaptability, and putting in the work—even when the journey looks different than expected. Tune in for a real and inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the power of doing the hard things to build the life you want.
