About Us
Built for the Soldiers and first responders. Inspired by the Mission. Driven by Legacy.
A nonprofit athletic movement dedicated to empowering Soldiers, first responders, families, and communities through elite training, purpose-based mentorship, and mission-focused events.
Our Mission
To forge stronger athletes, stronger families, and stronger communities by providing world-class training resources, life-changing events, and support opportunities to the people who serve.
We believe physical strength, mental resilience, and service to others are the three pillars that build lasting legacy.
TBA Combine exists to make sure no Soldier, family member, or first responder walks their journey alone.
Why We Exist
TBA Combine was born from a story of transformation.
After losing nearly 100 pounds, rebuilding discipline, and rediscovering faith and purpose, our founder — Specialist Thomas Brady — realized something powerful:
Service members and first responders don’t lack desire.
They lack support.
Across the military community, thousands of service members want better training, better opportunities, and better resources — but:
Gyms are crowded
Programs are confusing
Events are limited
Funding is minimal
Support systems are inconsistent
TBA Combine fills that gap
We create events, programs, and community support systems designed specifically for Soldiers, first responders, and families who want to push themselves, grow, and build a legacy of strength.
What We Do
TBA Combine delivers mission-focused programs built around three pillars:
1. Elite Athletic Events
We host military-grade endurance events, hybrid competitions, community races, tactical challenges, and strength showcases — all built to inspire, unite, and drive excellence.
2. Training & Development
We provide science-backed training resources, mentorship systems, and athlete support to help people become stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually.
3. Support & Community Impact
We reinvest into the community through grants, support initiatives, and programs designed to elevate Soldiers, families, and first responders.
Every event.
Every program.
Every grant.
Built to serve those who serve.
OUR VALUES
Earn The Right
Strength is earned daily through discipline, humility, and relentless effort.
Service Before Self
The mission is bigger than any one of us. We are here to build others up.
Legacy, Not Popularity
We measure impact by lives changed, not likes or followers.
Faith, Character & Grit
We believe in courage, stewardship, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
Community First
When one athlete rises, the entire formation rises with them.
Stand With Us
Join the mission to build stronger communities, support service members, and create life-changing opportunities.
Meet the Founder
SPC Thomas Brady
TBA Combine began long before it ever had a name and it began with one soldier.
SPC Thomas Brady was fighting to rebuild his life physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. After losing nearly 100 pounds and rediscovering discipline through training, service, and faith, he realized something powerful:
Countless others around him were fighting the same silent battles Soldiers who wanted to push themselves but lacked resources, families who needed support, and first responders who gave everything but rarely received anything in return.
What started as one man’s transformation evolved into a vision for something bigger:
a community built on resilience, purpose, and second chances.
Thomas founded TBA Combine to fill the gaps, to strengthen those who serve, and to provide real support where it’s needed most. His story is proof that anyone can rise, rebuild, and redefine who they are.
At the heart of his mission is one simple belief:
everyone has the potential to
“Earn The Right.”
This is not just my story this is our story and we’re just getting started.
