Who is Mitchell Hooper? | The UNTOLD Story 

Besides being the worlds strongest man, you seem like a good human being. Wish you all the success.

He'll win it again.

This man said he could only bench 315 for a couple and squat 4 and a half plates and "wasnt that strong" I really enjoyed hearing his story

Definitely the best rookie year in strongman history. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, it's going to be awesome watching it!!

This guy is legit. I go to the same gym. Congrats on everything you've done and what is going to come!

You're an absolute monster man, and knowing the story behind it makes it all the more impressive. You're doing great man keep it up, as a fellow Canadian, we are proud!

Its so sick to see how strongman is so much different with the years. And see the new guys comming up. You are already such a big name in the game and will make a huge impact in the sport! Keep it going team Moose for the W!

this guy is an absolute athletic machine!

What an absolute monster. Such an athlete. His story should be in all sports channels

That accent is a wild ride. It goes to and from Aussie, English, Irish, American and Canadian.

Proper down to earth bloke

Mitchell Hooper came out of _nowhere_ and took that WSM from some real _TITANS!_ 🏆 And I grew up around his stomping grounds in Barrie so I really resonate with his story. It's not a place you'd expect to see a WSM. He reminds me of those old-fashioned bodybuilders who were methodical & calculated. You know - the ones who used to lift spherical dumbbells and had funny mustaches😂 I hope this 2023 WSM championship victory puts his training techniques into the spotlight. Because he's definitely got something to share

I love the story about you inviting friends before leaving to Australia, almost no one came. Then focusing on the social game and making connections there - it was a totally different game leaving Australia 🥰

Hearing "2000, 2200 square feet" being referred to as "small" really hurts the soul for some others upbringings good lord haha

Happy to be a part of the original small online coaching, watching the Loz streams and seeing you do so well inspired me to keep going with the strongman training. Soon doing my second amateur comp in Sweden!

Your real strength is your amazing soul, what a great human being. It is really hard for me to do exercise because of R.A but you have inspired me, If 10 pounds is all I can lift, 10 pounds I shall lift. I will use the resources given to me and use them to their fullest.

Thanks for the mention!🙏🏼 It was great news when you were invited to your first WSM. The rest is history💪🏼

As a fellow Canadian and Ontarian I'm SO stoked and proud that one of us is achieving the things that you are! I feel like we're often under represented in a lot of sports but every now and then one of us comes along and turns the whole thing on its head. You're up there now with guys like Gretzky, GSP, Crosby, Steve Nash, (and Larratt, IYKYK). Still can't believe how unknown and under the radar your channel is but we all know that means the best is still to come. See you at the top!

One of the great voices in strength sports we have in todays era! Keep it up 👍🏻

Appreciate how you wrapped things up by saying you were given the tools necessary to be successful. That was the goal my wife and I had for our six kids, that their toolbox would be full when they left the nest. Thanks for sharing your story I will be praying for you and your wife to be. God bless you both!

Oh cool. Glad to see this as I found this channel a week ago.

imo you look much better now than when bodybuilding.

Honestly you are the cutest man alive. Your energy is generous, your words are kind and your moustache is fabulous. Your genetics and hard work are insane and your calm and kind character is the epitome of masculinity. Wish you the best in achieving your dreams and can't wait to see what the future holds, be it strong man or golf ;).

Thank you for voicing that even the WSM can have doubts and downfalls and not knowing who and what you are. It is an inspiration for us younger men

Wow that list of sports you played is insane. Football, golf, rugby, hockey, basketball, swimming, marathon running, bodybuilding, PLing, strongman... it's like you were destined to be a pro athlete, and I guess ended up in strongman because of that university in Australia lol. Real crazy turn of events

So I just subscribed off of Will's video and the Stoltman Brothers. You seemed so sweet and so strong and I am glad this is the first upload that i really get to know you. Congrats on all your success.

My new favorite athlete: humble, kind and a brute.

Love this guy & his channel. Find it inspiring how he wasn’t actually always strong. Was over 300 pounds only just benching 315… shows how far you can go

Great story well told. Love it! Best wishes for your upcoming marriage! I am 26 years into my marriage and wouldn't trade it for the world. A good woman just makes us better stronger men! 💪

"Really, really tiny house, like 2,000 square feet..." O_o

My new strong man hero, so inspirational 🫶🙏💪

We have very similar personalities and traits, no wonder you resonate with me so much. Hope you go on to even greater things brother.

the role model the world needs ❤

It was a pleasure to see Mitchel training at the Sydney Uni Sports Gym, everyone was impressed with his strength. Nice to see the videos of you training at Arena and SUSAC with us. Keep wining, it’s just the beginning! 🎉 💪🏻

Hats off to your parents. Such a humble and nice man. Came from Will T. video featuring you. Subscribed now.

Im scottish and a big tom stoltman fan,but mitchell is a great guy and deserves every success also.

I hope there’s a social media person from a URC/Prem rugby team seeing this and making notes for the next time you’re in the UK!

Nice one Mitch, so many sports… just glad you got that invite to WSM!😌 Only a month until Royal Albert Hall, might be getting excited! 🤩

Thanks for taking the time and being so honest, fascinating to watch and understand your journey so far in your still very young life and career. All the best Mitch 👍🏻 looking forward to meeting you again at the Royal Albert Hall soon.

This is a story and a half _ absolutely fantastic ! WSM is lucky to have a champion like you Mitch !

You really did come from nowhere, incredible story!

As someone who lives in England it’s funny to hear the perception of what is small/large in terms of living space. 2000sq.ft over here would be a large house across most of the country. In the cities it would be mansion 😂

Genetically gifted and charming as hell. Hope he goes on to achieve more greatness.

Love you man

i used to live in guelph and started watching you through will tennyson and found out both of you went to Guelph U. Your a complete gem of a dude. keep on lifting heavy weight man.

I started heavy short strength training again!!! You are my man :D #rolemodel ;)

Great video thanks for making it. Looking forward to the seminar in Glasgow and learning a lot from both Loz and yourself. Also looking forward to getting my t shirts when the snail mail gets to Scotland

Mitch, you’re a beast bro. Keep it up! Go for 6x WSM and make history! Semper Fi! -A US Marine

Shoutout to bonniebryan , liking all your posts since the beginning....

Awesome story 👏 🙌 proud to have you here in Canada 🇨🇦 your an amazing person 🎉🎉🎉

First time I watched Mitchell on the TV ,he smashed the car carry ,I thought this guy will go far and would be a great competitor for the world's strongest man going forward. Have to say I'm from the UK and couldn't work out his accent,I thought was he from the US or Oz after watching this I now know why I had that confusion. Having all the different backgrounds can see why he has done so well .let's face it not many come from running ,hockey etc . His not only strong but very intelligent. Going to be great watching his journey and seeing what he can achieve and how many world strongest man titles he can pick up along the way .

The way you tell this it sounds like you were gifted with so much opportunity and natural ability.

What a wonderful story, thanks for sharing Mitchell. I look forward to following your strongman career and social media content.

Thank you this video helped me a lot to understand you. What a great story.

Solid relationship advice from your dad. Many guys put too much ego into it and think they have to break up prematurely.

Love the transparency! Keep it up

Love this story!! Thank you for sharing Mitchell! So excited to meet you in July!

you're genuinely such a nice guy Mitch..

An incredible story with no end in sight. l was fortunate enough to see your first WSM title, hopefully the first of many.

From one Mitchell to another, well put. Proud to have you as a fellow Canadian!

lovely journey ❤

Helping my fellow Canadian. Subscribed and rooting for you brother!.

legend of a guy! your exactly what strongman needs, not a HUGE freak, a big normal dude who's strong as fudge, super down to earth!

What a life he had, truly incredible

Mitchell is changing this entire sport. Competitors are going to start changing the way they think about strongman

Tenacious, driven, inspiring. Simply you were made a winner!

This is incredibly impressive and inspirational. You're a class act and I wish you every success.

"Lift heavy & be kind!" 💪😎❤️

Crazy story of how you still believed in the middle .. there was a lot of changes and upsets !! Glad it worked out bro 😮😊

Brilliant video. Thanks for making this!

Going from struggling to do a 140kg log and then winning WSM less than 3 years later is absolutly incredible.

What a humle person you seem to be! You just earned a sub. What a great reflection on your life to date; absolutely fascinating.

Very smart Mr. Hooper!

Thank you for sharing your story Mitchell! ❤️

Can't wait to see what the future has in store for you....Bravo Zulu on all of your accomplishments so far!

I don't follow strong man, the only ones I know are Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw, because of the exposure on other people's channels. I only know you through Greg Doucette and the videos you did with Will Tennyson. But you are so well-spoken, humble, and fascinating I had to subscribe.

Great video mate. Fun to lisen and hear your story mate. You have done so much:)

Well done mr. Michael Cooper!

Thanks for sharing your story big man. All the best.

A good story that I'm sure many people was thinking? Who is this guy... And now I know and everyone.. Best of luck.. Stay strong

❤ I am watching. Hi from England, Europe. ❤🎉

Wow! You are an incredible athlete! Congrats!

Imagine if Mitch went to the NBA. Hooper would be an insanely perfect last name on the Jersey.

Love the honesty, great vast journey

Possibly the first worlds strongest man winner that isnt a narcissist. Such a sweet humble man. Glad to see it.

for me Im so happy you did this vid!!!!!

I’m from Perth so cool to hear you talk about quokkas

What a cool guy, big inspiration!

Enjoyed the video, but can't help thinking it was made to get more strongman fans to warm to you. You dont need "likes", you prove it all in the arenas 💪

2,000 square feet is a very, very small home? Are homes in Canada supersized?

I loved this thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing.

Can really relate to the moving away from football at uni part (although it was rugby for me), loved the sport hated the drinking culture

Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing.

I just discovered you today and I will spread the word. Proud french Canadian here and proud to have the Worlds strongest man in our country. You should learn how to Armwrestle with Devon as your next challenge that would be fun to see ! I wish you even more success and I what i love most beyond the accomplishments is the honesty and the beautiful soul. I personally never used my physical potential fully as a man from a tiny town that had no opportinities but I will grow older in beauty thats a promise. I am 39 still have abs and will restart working out this week and build myself up and hopefully be a role model for older people someday. Bless you brother for being such an inspiration ! ❤

Really inspirational thanks for sharing you’re story

Hope for more collaborations with strongmen around the world! Will be cool to see you with dudes from Ukraine (Pavlo Nakonechnyy, Pavlo Kordiyaka, and Oleksii Novikov). Have a great life!

Bro you’re an animal, I’ll be watching your next journey whatev it may be

2200 sq foot home is small? Wow I guess we should all move to Canada.

Great stuff, Mitch. You're living proof that (as I've said to many young clients over the years) if you don't give into the whole teenage party thing, you have a better chance at reaching your full potential. Soooo many (and I am definitely in this basket!) Basically poison their bodies when they are in full development mode, trying to reach its potential. Christ... If I'd been as mature as you when I was younger, I genuinely believe I would have become a pro cyclist. All the genetics and knowledge etc was there... But I fell into the trap. Keep up the great work and great content, Mitch... Oh and if you could just take it easy and not make it boring by dominating every event ... That'd be great!! 😆😜
