Description
Crunk Fit gives you the turn up party environment while getting your excise on. As a youth my dream was to go to college and go to the NFL, get rich, buy a house for my mom and dad, and drive my dream car, a Lamborghini. How many of you can relate to those big dreams as a youth? Well, one of those things happened. God blessed me with the opportunity to go to college and play football at Winston Salem State University. My first year I got redshirted, I did not understand what a redshirt was, and I did not like it. I was a starter my whole football career, and now I had to sit on the sideline and watch the game I loved to play the most? I was angry, confused, losing my confidence and myself dignity. I lost the drive and the ambition to even be a part of the team, I started skipping practice, study hall, didn’t obey curfew rules and skipped gym workouts. All of this led up to my career being short lived. More than halfway through my first year on the team, on homecoming weekend I was kicked off the team. I was caught with drugs and a bottle alcohol. I was 19 years old. When I got cut, I went through a state of depression, to me I felt like I lost it all. I started drinking more, smoking more and worse, I blamed everybody for my failure but myself. Two years later I was saved, I started to find a life after football, I even changed my major to Sport Management just so that I could still be around the sport. After graduating I started my work within the Park and Rec department in Winston Salem, NC. I started training and coaching youth on health and fitness. Driven, I lost football because of a week mindset and no proper guidance and learning that two young men that I knew had lost their lives to gun violence. I vowed to be the change, to not allow young men or women lose their lives to the streets or lose their dreams because of the lack of understanding and impatience. But there was something missing. So, I started searching through plenty of books, which lead me to get my Masters in Pastoral Counseling and Life Coaching. Fast forward, to today I devote my time and efforts to Mental Conditioning athletes and Athletic Development. I feel that, we spend a lot of time on the athletic ability of athletes; speed, strength and agility and we neglect what is most important, the mind. How people and athletes feel on a day-to-day basis. Fitness allows me to help you dig deep, to go within and break through the barrier of fatigue and mental weakness. It allows me to coach athletes one on one as a mental conditioning coach, helping them set goals, reach goals, and perform at a high level. So, why Crunk Fit? Because it reminds me of the times I was on the field before games listening to my CD player getting crunk preparing myself for war, to defeat anything that came my way that game, even if it meant defeating myself. So, I urge you, challenge yourself let’s get fit, and let’s push beyond our mental blockages.
