In addition to being an expert in Strongman, Mitch's background proves he is also an expert in interior design.

Hadn’t heard of you this time last year, and you’ve gone on to have one of the most successful strongmen of 2022 and someone I love to watch. I can’t wait to see what you do in 2023.

About the "brotherhood"; I guess, you want to beat each other in actual performance, not by technicalities. Love it.

Love seeing all the clips of the highlights. Such a surreal feeling. Strongman is lucky to have you in this sport! So proud of you. ❤️

You guys are lucky that all the athletes are so supportive, like with using each other's tacky... My last competition, a few of us did not have tacky, and the athletes that had tacky with them was so selfish and made bad remarks towards people asking them for tacky all the time... But at a previous competition those same guys asked for tacky and other athletes gave them.

MOOOOSE!!! Another great representative of the sport. Looking forward to following your career, Brother.

It's been a pleasure watching you this year! You'll tear it up next year! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Loving Mitchs development so far and he is completely taken everyone by surprise

Mate, I absolutely loved this video. You come across as such a top bloke! There’s a reason you’ve received such a warm welcome to strongman, both by athletes and fans. Big fan of Mitchell Hooper right here

Great vid Mitch. I sounds like you and many of the strongmen and women realise the value of talking to the fans. You were the one person I wanted to meet at the Arnold's and you kindly gave me a moment of your time. As fans we massively appreciate it and we then support you more which in turn helps grow your brand. I have unfollowed a couple of strongmen who's attitude changed after I met them and they got bigger in the sport. We do all look up to you and its great when you remain humble, fun and approachable. Can't wait to see you hold that WSM trophy dude. And keep up thengreat content, Gryphons rule!

What an enjoyable video, Super Hooper. Thank you for sharing insights into your experience. The class the athletes show in Strongman both in the way they engage with each other and us fans is really special. You guys and girls are the one sport that genuinely and consistently provides good role models in my opinion. You're not only the strongest people on the planet but also seem to be some of the best people on the planet.

Stellar performance this year. Stay healthy. Can’t wait to see what you do next year

What an amazing year for Mitchell! I'm very excited for him for 2023!

Seeing you with Loz has been awesome. Seeing a guy with one of the heaviest official deadlifts ever performed being so open for advice is so promising. Hooper isn't just a name to know, it's a name to remember.

You're a bright young man, a lot like Brian Shaw, I reckon you'll do well in life buddy, best of luck to you.

I'm hoping to see more publicity for Strongman events in 2023. You guys don't get the publicity you deserve, but I think it's starting to improve. 💜

1-Oleksi 2-Martins 3-Tom 4-Brian 5-Mitch 6-Trey

Hell of a 2022. Great performances and no devastating injuries. Can't wait to see what happens next year.

I really enjoyed hearing all the things that you've learned... can't wait to see you win all those competitions. keep being humble and great mitchell! so excited for you on 2023

Big Z said a similar thing about time dedicated to strongman. He said something along the lines of I only train 2-3 hours a day I must do more, and he is the goat and many other things outside of the sport.

When Bobby Thompson says "You stop that right now"! you stop and listen ;-)

Really enjoyed this video brother🤙

For well rounded missed Brian and Tom. Great video Mitch! Rookie of the year for sure!

Love this Mitch ! So proud of you ❤️

One of the best attitudes in strongman!! Another great ambassador for the sport. :)

I love hearing about the brotherhood, that feeling of only wanting to beat someone if they are at their best, it seems so unique to strength sports (im a novice powerlifter and beginner strongman and am starting to see this first hand)

I love the smooth easy listening music

Very enjoyable video, you came into the scene like a rocket out of "nowhere" to be one of the top guys that you simply can't count out. Looking forward to seeing more of you and the rest of the strongman in 2023!

A lot of those things are good for all area of life. Great video to contemplate on, thanks 🙂👍

Thank you! Keep it up!

Great Insight into strongman and competitions

the main reason I love this, everyone supports everyone.

All the best too you in your career 👍 👏 🙌

🔥Beautiful video Mitch!

Mitch your The beginning of a legend my man. Excellent grammar by the way lol!!

Great video 👌🏼

I saw you in the hotel at OSG and didn't want to stop you to say hello. I'm shy as well but I'm very happy for your successes and look forward to next year as you climb.

Great video idea

Where is your set? Looks cool. very professional. Who designed it?

Pa's feelings would have been hurt to have you call yourself the "clear favorite" to win the comp. 😂

Cool if you did a video on your business. Great job this year man. Best of luck for 2023 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Lesson Number 5! Pull a massive deadlift and make some noise😁 Then network with the right people but also have the talent to back it up💪🏼

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE !!!!!!🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌( OK they have no Emoji for moose )

Brian is the king of tacky hes obssed with it from what ive seen so the fact he helped you when you were his main compatition ses so much about his chactor

Congratulations on a amazing rookie year

Useful info 💪🏻

8. Don't get hurt, otherwise you will have a very short career.

Love your insights, Mitch. Your thoughts about life and how you're enjoying different aspects of your life resonate with me. It's also so awesome to see that the biggest muscles among strongmen is your heart. It's one of my favorite things about the sport.

Mitchell "The Shooba Dooba Dooba" Hoopa

Customs officer “what is this white powder?” Mitchell “It’s chalk” CO, “sure it is, bend over”.

If you are slightly weak on something, Loz will make it so you are better

I still think the moose hats a great idea 🤣🤣🤣

great confidence and execution

I feel like the reason people share equipment (chalk ETC) in Strongman is these guys want to win because they are stronger not because some guy couldn't bring chalk into the UK

14:41 You could have gales of laughter playing hours of "Dick or Jeep" with Pa O'Dwyer.

Here are 7 things I learned in 2022 about strongman. 1. They are very strong 2. The top brass all seem nice 3. Mass moves weight 4. A powerbelly is a belly, but powerful 5. Lots of strong "new"comers like Pavlo, Hooper, Stoltmans and Novikov 6. They do be eating a lot 7. Dont touch them without asking first, especially if they're hungry

@10:47 the word you're looking for is spectacle. Without spectacle strongman isn't as fun to watch. It's when the spectacle takes precedence over safety is when competitors get hurt but it needs to be there.

Who are the unsportsmanlike strongmen? 😂 3:57

A thought on "well-roundedness": it is the number of competitors which amplifies the weaknesses but not the strengths. Take the Arnolds 2019, with Thor and Mattheusz. Matt won four events (!) but lost due to a (not so) weak deadlift. Had the number of competitors been less, this weakness would not have had the impact it had and he could have won the contest. A way out would be to privilege the win. (As Brian Shaw puts it: #2 is first loser.) Depending on the number of contestants, give the winner one or two extra points (or maybe also #2). There is a penalty for zero performance (which can still be taxing), why is there no bonus for a win?

🗣️this was great!

Long drive contest. ?? Could be fun .

Succes in 2023

No1 professional strongman isn't run very professionally, it is still controlled by the same people who ran it in car parks, this hopefully will change as it becomes more popular

Not sure this is the kind of video you make, but it would be interesting if you shared your goals in the sport both in terms of titles you want to win and how many times each, and which world records would you like to break and keep under you name long after you retire.

My goat

Mitch, I will buy you a beer anytime

Hey Mitch, don't they have a ping-pong table at WSM? That should fix the boredom. Imagine crushing Wide Pavlov and Novikov at the table. I mean you versus those two. One versus two. I think it should be a first event. Ping pong is a true test of everything.

Is that a fold-out chessboard in the background?

12 months ago Mitch didn't know how to wipe his ass and 6 months from now he's probably WSM 2023 :)

9:22 Interact with the fans?? Was at WSM-2021 and NONE of the strongmen even looked our way, let alone talked to us. Except Oberst, who wasn't really competing and came over to take pics.

7:40 Is WHY you won the Arnold over Kieliszkowski. I hear he won 3 events and you won none, but you were "good enough" at all of them.

Am I the only one who thinks Mitchell just suddenly developed an Irish accent?

you're going to bring home 1st place for us at wsm, first canadian to do so. you know it, i know it.

I hope u stay grounded next year is gonna b big for you I will b in myrtle beach for wsm 2023 can't wait u r one on the favorites

Yes, top 3 every event, and one event per comp where you are about 4th from last, is about what you need to compete. Sorry, but Evan Singleton is supposed to be a "heel" of gosh no, he is not a good "heel", best "heel" I've seen is maybe Thor or Mariuz. Frankly strongman needs more funding before you have guys you hope lose ... Honestly, Martins is the guy I'm least excited to see win currently, mostly cause I think Nick names the start with "The" aren't creative or interesting hence why I never call Eddie "the beast" or Oberst "the American monster" or Thor "the mountain". Sorry if you need "the" in front of your nickname, you aren't trying hard enough to earn a nickname, the exception is situations like the Stoltman brothers or the Stoltmans it's kinda branding kinda nickname kinda not. Or the greatest strong man / the goat. Weather you want to give that to Shaw or kaz of big z or Mariuz or Magnus. See if Eddie had called himself Eddie "the" hall effect, that would have been hilarious because "the hall effect" is an electromagnetic effect involving Eddie currents. The issue is probably only like 1-2% of WSM fans would get that joke. But it would at least be clever and showed that the can be used in a way that isn't boring. Big Z, iron biby, big Tex, t-rex and the likes are great nicknames not using "the".

Woooooooo

Love the new profile pic

Jamal browner he’s a pretty strong bloke 😂😃

Enjoy the downtime. 😅. Cheers

17:30 Think you are one of those "freaks of (strongman) Nature"--like Novikov or Kieliszkowski. All of the pieces are there to begin with and you are better than everyone else.

Doing important stuff besides strongman is infinitely better than spending time doing cold tubs, massages and all that jazz

I wonder who the non-sportsmen are 🤔 it's always been a question for me

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

❤

.😀

uhm why cant you bring your own chalk? Its not like its illegal to bring onboard an airplane or across borders.

#8.) Moustache maybe a mistake

3:50 who are the poor sportmen? anyone know their names

So many fans need to understand tip #4. It’s 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 business 👏🏻 !!! FAQ dumb question numero uno on social media has got to be: “Why is so and so at this event, he never wins anything?” Simple answer: Because he puts people in the paid seats. Pro sports aren’t recreational, they are money making entertainment businesses. You want recreation then go down to your local gym and watch some dude lift. You want exciting entertainment then buy a ticket to watch rookie Buzz Lightyear smoke a guy in a Yoke.

sorry i am late to the party i heard someone say something about arousal state

Shaw has a saying "part time strongman part time results". Your good now obviously but how much better could you be if it devoted everything to it? If that's even worth it to you to do.

Moose

You should do a viewer Q&A Especially with regards to your last point. I believe you to be in the minority, and I don’t think it’s appropriate to falsely represent something based purely on your own experiences. Obviously that wasn’t your intention.

"is miles than" is that Gen Z speak?
