WHO?!

Watch Sizzle Reel

Says Who is a creative story platform uniting athletes, brands, and fans around one message: the limits we accept are the ones we’ve been taught.

We exist to change that story through bold content, authentic collaboration, and unapologetic representation.

If you’ve ever been

underestimated,

welcome home.

our mission

Says Who challenges how the world defines ‘ability’.
We spotlight athletes who were doubted, dismissed, or told they’d never make it — and did it anyway.
Through film, content, and brand collaborations, Says Who?! transforms raw moments of resistance into rallying cries for what’s possible when you dare to dream.

THE ATHLETES

“boots”

TOMMY MOONEY

Told he’d never walk or talk, Tommy has spent his life proving otherwise. Since joining the Spartans, he’s lost 70 lbs, boosted his deadlift from 135 to 308 lbs, and earned multiple gold medals. Coached by his mom Ani, he continues to defy limits with heart and determination.

“teddy”

MATT GRAHAM

Once bullied for his autism, Teddy found strength and belonging through powerlifting and the ABC Spartans. Now proudly tattooed with the team logo, he’s earned multiple Olympic golds — recently squatting 390 lbs and deadlifting 424 lbs — chasing his dream of becoming the “World’s Strongest Powerlifter.”

“muscles”

MATT RASMUSSEN

After surviving leukemia as a toddler, Muscles shattered every expectation. Joining the Spartans gave him friendship and purpose — and the chance to show his true strength. Now an Olympic silver medalist, he continues to train with unstoppable intensity and spirit.

“the big show”

BRANDYN MORGAN

The team’s “young buck” and resident comedian, Brandyn’s been showing his strength since age five. Mentored by fellow Spartans, he’s chasing gold while bringing laughter and heart to every lift — once even losing a match on purpose to spare 
an opponent.

“how’s your day”

MAX JACKOSKI

Bullied in his youth, Max turned his positivity into purpose — creating How’s Your Day (8k members) and his nonprofit Max’s Buddies, raising over $200K. After joining the Spartans with his friend Sameeh, he earned a medal at the 2024 Summer Games. “The Spartans created a safe haven for all of us,” says his mom.

“the goat”

JEN THOMPSON

Since her IPF debut in 1999, she’s redefined strength standards — currently holding the world record bench press at 323 lbs — and was inducted into the IPF Hall of Fame in 2019.
