Today is not about us.

It is about the men and women who traded their tomorrows so the rest of us could have ours.

We stand in the profession of protection because they stood first. We carry the work forward in their memory.

To the fallen: we remember. To their families: we honor you. 🇺🇸

At #GDBA we know that some traditions you inherit….

This one is earned. 🤝

Every year, Gavin de Becker & Associates takes on #TheMurphChallenge

- 1 mile run
- 100 pull-ups
- 200 push-ups
- 300 air squats
- 1 mile run

In honor of Lt. #MichaelMurphy, Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient.

And this is a tradition we don’t skip and a cause we stay committed to. It’s how we honor the protectors who came before and reinforce the standard we hold today.

This is for anyone called to something bigger than themselves.

If that’s you…then you already know why we do it.

#Military #WorkoutChallenge

Stop Scrolling — these are 3 safety tips everyone needs to know.

Be sure to send this to anyone you care about.

Trust your intuition.

[Gavin de Becker & Associates (GDBA) @GDBAProtects]

Do you train because it’s convenient or because it matters?

How can something so simple be so effective?

Here’s why our protectors aim for 500 jumps a day 👇🏼

It improves….

- Conditioning

- Athleticism

- Mobility

And…

Discipline. 🔐

The kind that shows up in the field.

No gym required. No excuses accepted.

500 jumps. Every day.

That’s not a workout. That’s a standard.

Not every #ExecutiveProtection team gets to train with the firm that wrote the standard.

Now they do. ✍🏼

GDBA has spent 40 + years protecting the world's most prominent public figures. In that time, we've worked alongside and assessed EP teams across the world, and we’ve discovered the same thing:

Capable people. Good instincts. And a gap in training they couldn’t fix on their own.

So we built the program specifically for them.

Our 2-Day Advanced Training covers EVERYTHING the job actually demands. Here’s just a few to highlight 👇🏼

✔ Protective & projective positioning
✔ Emergency medicine
✔ Venue advances
✔ Arrivals & departures
✔ Use of force + stress inoculation
✔ The ACTUAL subtleties that matter

And the rest?

You’ll have to find out and experience this EXCLUSIVE training yourself.

Attendance is selective. Seats are limited. A certificate in Public Figure Protection is awarded upon completion.
