Stran Smith - Rodeo | United States

Rodeo's "Top Gun", Ten-time National Finals Rodeo Qualifier and 2008 World Champion Stran Smith has not only become one of the top (and top-earning!) professional cowboys in the world -- he has gained enormous popularity and a loyal following that extends far beyond the rodeo arena. Why? "I try to be a good role model," he says. "That keeps me focused on doing what's right...doing what really matters in the lives of other human beings." This west Texas native specializes in calf roping and is the current world record holder in this rodeo event (just 6.7 seconds!). Among other honors, Stran was the Coors Fans' Favorite Cowboy in 1998 and 2001 and one of People magazine's "100 Most Eligible Bachelors for 2000."

“I have had both knees operated on and was checking into shoulder surgery as well because pain was interfering with my performance. I started taking glyconutrients during my recovery period. I have never felt like anything else worked!”
