My passion for fitness and nutrition started in middle school; I was known as the little fat kid and teased while playing baseball.\u00a0 My brother also convinced me that the stronger, quicker athlete had a better chance of success. While playing school and competitive sports through high school and into college, I continued to train. I ate what I wanted during those days. Because I was young, I could get away with it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was able to complete a mini-triathlon, marathon, and numerous 100-mile bicycle races. That\u2019s when I realized the importance of nutrition and how it affected my life and training needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

After my season of endurance event training, I started to focus on weight training and total body conditioning. I then came to the final component of what I feel made me my most complete. I realized how complex I am.\u00a0 I continuously overtrained, which caused numerous injuries and setbacks. \u00a0I also finally realized people are not like me.\u00a0 I now try to understand the how and why of mine and other people\u2019s thoughts and actions.\u00a0 The light bulb went on; understanding and empathy improves relationships.\u00a0 My improved reflective mindfulness has improved my life.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
