The Man Behind

HARDCORE STRESS MANAGEMENT

"The TRUTH About Grady Leach!"

In 2006 Grady founded the HARDCORE STRESS MANAGEMENT™ website in order to share with the world the lessons learned from his own personal experience in dealing with extreme stress, anxiety and depression from his exceptionally practical, “politically-incorrect” point of view.

Grady’s unique contribution to the field of stress management is informed by nearly two decades of study of modern combat psychology, traditional martial arts, and the science of peak performance from individuals who have devoted their lives to the cultivation of relaxation and calm under the most intense kinds of stress imaginable.

In Grady’s own words:

“I know first-hand what it’s like to suffer, really suffer from stress. I know what it’s like to be so depressed that you don’t want to get out of bed for days at a time, or so riddled with anxiety that you find it easier to just stay inside the apartment. I know what it’s like to be blind-sided by a panic attack at the most inconvenient moment (Murphy’s law!), and I know intimately the strain that these problems put on our relationships with our loved ones. From an early age I was fascinated by traditional martial arts and devoured every ounce of information I could find about karate, kung fu, judo, jujitsu, silat, kalari, you name it. I also sank my teeth into modern military hand-to-hand combat methodology and psychology … literally anything I could get my hands on. It wasn't so much the physical "fighting" aspect that intrigued me, but the unique psychological training which set these disciplines apart from conventional athletics. I had no clue how important that knowledge would become in my future struggle with extreme stress and stress-related injury. When you sit down and think about it, it really makes a great deal of sense ... these psychological techniques were designed by combat veterans to prepare people to deal with the most stressful event a person can experience, life-and-death fighting. Once I had my breakthrough and I began to apply these same methods to the extreme stress and stress-related injuries in my own life, informed by the lessons I had learned from other peak performers in various fields, the results were simply astounding. Experiencing the speed and effectiveness of this material first-hand revolutionized my perspective regarding what genuine stress management could and should be ... gone was the need for mind-altering “anti-depressants”, gone was the need for expensive counseling sessions, gone was the compulsion to “get away from it all” with a costly vacation. I am not a doctor, a psychiatrist, a counselor or a therapist. I am an educated and successful professional who struggled with my own stress-related issues (with very little relief provided by the above-mentioned medical types, I might add) until I literally stumbled upon the solution. A solution which gave me the tools to take my life back into my own hands. HARDCORE STRESS MANAGEMENT™ exists to bring to you these powerful, tried-and-true, no-frills stress management techniques from behind the veil of obscurity – translated into a practical modern context that is as applicable to the corporate gladiator as the soccer-mom. You don’t have to endure the insane side-effects of the drugs. You don’t have to subject yourself to hours of pointless talk therapy. And we all know how expensive those two options can be! HARDCORE Stress Management™ worked for me, and it can absolutely work for you.”
