Why did you become a coach?
At the age of 12 I struggled with self-imaging issues. My father having a training set-up in my room, sub-consciously engrained the importance of training. I introduced strength training into my life and never turned back. The feeling I FELT from the first set of dumbbell curls was exhilarating. Understanding “Motion Changes Emotion” Producing confidence, control and empowerment which I wanted to unlock for everyone! For once in many years I truly felt happy and immediately knew I wanted to give that gift to feel comfortable, happy and healthy in Joining Mind and Body!
