Journey into Training
The speaker shares their unconventional entry into training, highlighting a lack of consultation with family or peers before deciding to become a trainer. This decision was influenced by a lifelong interest in sports, the human body, and nutrition, which provided a solid background. The initial experiences involved working at a gym’s front desk while pursuing a college degree, ultimately leading to a series of challenges, including starting out in a garage gym during the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition from academic to practical application in training began with training high school athletes and managing a small sports performance gym, expanding their knowledge and experience with various age groups and athletic levels.
