Over the past couple weeks I have had a lot of time to sit and think about my coaching journey. Over the past several years I have always been an athlete / coach splitting my time into two equal parts as much as I could. I wanted to be great at both but always knew that my true strengths were in coaching and that I would one day be a far better coach then athlete. Since, my injury I have had to make a choice. Do I sit on my ass and feel sorry for myself and the state that I am currently in or do I immerse myself in my coaching and become a better version of myself? No injury can stop me from being a great coach and that is something I am eternally grateful for. So really without much thought at all I decided to look at what happened to me as a blessing in disguise. Finally, something has forced me to choose I am and need to be the best in. Often in the gym I get asked how I am feeling and I say, great! I truly am because I am focusing 100% on something I love to do. Although, I can not show the movements or demonstrate I find great satisfaction in finding other ways to teach. I have always had so many tools at my disposal that I never thought to use because I could always just demonstrate. I can focus now more than ever on movement and how to critique it. I can analyze workouts better and how best to attack them. These are all things that I would have never witnessed without this injury. Although, it sucks and I do want to get back out there again soon. I am enjoying the ride and want to be a role model for others out there. Although you are down you are never truly out!
