It’s frowned upon to brag about yourself. But I feel like it’s good to hype yourself up, even if it is a little bit extreme or out of the ordinary! Post in this thread celebrating yourself and letting others know something you’re really good at! I’ll start…
I’m a really good coach. Strength and conditioning primarily but athletics overall. If an athlete comes to me and they have the mindset of improvement it’s a damn near guarantee that I will increase their athleticism and make them stronger, faster, more powerful, etc. I’ve trained young kids to become dominant high school athletes, high school athletes to get full ride scholarships to D1 universities, D1 athletes to get drafted to the NFL, MLB, and NBA, and I even trained a couple of professional athletes as well! All that said in a REALLY good strength and conditioning coach.
What can you brag about?!
I’ve gotten better at teaching roller (and inline) skating. Yesterday I passed a certification as a “Level 2” instructor.
My actual skill level is kinda intermediate. At the skate school where I teach, many of the other instructors can skate circles around me, but I’m doing ok for someone who never touched skates until my 30s and is otherwise a very unathletic overweight computer geek.
that is awesome!! what brought you to skating in your 30s?
i worked as a carhop (think waiter on skates) at a sonic drive-in in my late teens, but I do t I have any of that skill set anymore, haha. At my weight I would legitimately be afraid of either breaking the skates or my bones if I fell. I do really miss the ease of movement when we went to Sparkles (a skating rink) and they had the lights dimmed and music playing. Such a fun time.
My inspiration was a girl, her profile on the dating site said she liked skating, so I suggested that as our first date. She was already an instructor, and was very patient with me. We’re married now.
that is incredibly romantic. i would watch that movie for sure.
congratulations! i hope that life brings you much future joy. :)
Thanks!
