Welcome to Inside the Team Room: Interview With Navy SEAL Eric Davis – What Inspired Him To Become a SEAL.
The subject of this video is what you might imagine from the title. Eric talked about what motivated him to seek out some of the toughest training in the world.
Davis talks about how he was a young, freckle-faced, red-haired kid with no particular inclination toward sports or special forces. Then he discovered the works of legendary SEAL and founder of SEAL Team Six Dick Marcinko. Eric says he read all of Marcinko’s books when he was younger, and they encouraged him that he, too, if he worked hard enough and didn’t quit, could become a Navy SEAL.
He did, and the rest is history.
