Bear Grylls is a man who at 23 conquered Everest and visited the most dangerous places on Earth. The former special forces soldier and avid traveler have become the ideal of endurance and fearlessness for millions of TV viewers. However, Bear Grylls admits that he was not always so courageous and strong. Only motivation and perseverance turned him from a weak teenager into a real “bear”.According to the information gathered Bear first wanted to become strong and resilient when he was 8 years old.

Now Grills is grateful to his abuser for giving him an impetus to train.
The TV presenter wanted to become a military presenter, following the example of his father, Sir Michael Grills, who served in the ranks of the Royal Marines. Grill Sr. died in 2001 of a heart attack. Bear joined the army right after school, and never regretted that he did not graduate from the university.

Grylls was twice sent to military operations in North Africa. There he fell while skydiving and broke his spine in three places. The rehabilitation lasted for several months, and the military career had to be abandoned. Bear is grateful for the service in the special forces because it was there that he underwent hardening, which made him the most enduring TV presenter in the world.
Apart from this the brave TV host says that in addition to mastering survival skills, it is important to keep yourself in good physical shape.
