We had the good fortune of connecting with Dimitri Lee JR and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Dimitri, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
MillionDollarTraining LLC is not solely about football or training. Here at MillionDollarTraining we are in the business of changing lives! Everybody can train with us! No matter size, age, or level. I know when I was in high school I wanted to be around, train with the older guys. When I got to college is was the same for NFL guys. Personally I was a sponge and I wanted to learn as much as I can from those older guys who were at the position I was aspired to be. We do just that at at MillionDollarTraining. It would change these kids lives to be around older guys on higher levels.
What should our readers know about your business?
The name MillionDollarTraining has a lot of history behind it. In 2007 my pop Warner my nick mane was MillionDollarMeet or MDM. I know you probably question why?? I was always ahead of my time so each tackle or big play I made I would celebrate or dance like I was already in the NFL. I played like I was under a million dollar contract that’s why they called me MillionDollarMeet. So everybody who seen me it was “What’s up Million Dollar” from the coaches to my teammates, fans, team moms. It’s stuck. 14 Years later MillionDollarTraining was born. It’s a great name, and transition because you had to be there to know the true background and history of it. What separates MillionDollarTraining from others is that we don’t limit ourselves. We train everybody football related. No matter size, position, age, or level. Also here at MillionDollarTraining we relate to all our clients. I have been on all sides of the college football spectrum. I was a walk on, scout team All American, only travels for special teams, Captain, starter on all four special teams. So it’s nothing that these guys been through that I haven’t seen. On the flip side I wanted to make the NFL just as bad if not more than anybody but you know what? I am in the league now training all these guys. So me being 25 I know what they want, think, and need because I am them. I just train how I would want to be trained. Here at MillionDollarTraining we work hard, we lock in, but we also have fun. This is a fun game so we are going to enjoy it. Another separation component is that since I am the same or very close to as most my guys I train we talk about everything! Life, what’s going on in the world, what’s going on in their lives, it’s more than just football. I also connect all my clients and players together with one another from all levels and ages. I got where I am today by having unwavering faith in God trusting everything my family and my trainers ever taught me. I also started letting everything come to me. I’m a natural this is what I was born to do! I’m still learning as I go which is the beauty of it all. I teach learn and critique myself. I also bet feedback from my family clients and players. I want the world to know that here at MillionDollarTraining this is an experience something like never before. You can be yourself all the time and have fun because I’m having just as much fun training.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First I would take them to the beach early. Then we would shoot to aventura mall then saw grass mills then ball Barbour shops and brickell city center. I will then take them to down town brickell to see the sites. Lastly I would take them to my family restaurant Victory Miami Restaurant and Lounge owned by my brother Ricardo Young. Victory Miami is the newest, hottest vibe that you would not get anywhere else. The food is to die for lead by celebrity chef tray.
