why I chose this path

One of the things I knew as I got older Is that I could not work a corporate job where I am stuck in a cubicle all day or forced to climb a corporate ladder to advance. It’s just not in my nature. I like to forge my own path, try new ideas and be creative but also have a passion about what I do. I grew up in a family where my parents owned their own business, where I have worked all my life. my wife has built her own business from scratch, and now its my turn . It has taken me a little longer than most to find my path, but what is important to me is that it is my path.

Why did I choose fitness coaching? I was teaching my wife some lifting techniques during a workout, and it was one of those lightbulb moments we have in life. I realized my ability to coach people is a skill that came naturally, or at the very least i learned from a young age, My grandpa played football in college and the nfl and went on to coach at a high school here in wichita for many years, my dad carried on this tradition coaching mens and women’s basketball including teams i played on. I realized coaching was something engrained in me, i had a knack for it. Breaking down concepts and explaining the “why” of doing something, not just the “do”. It gives me joy and pride when I explain a concept or a technique and I can see in real time the effects, the joy or in some cases faces of frustration (in a good way) that I made their their workout just a little more difficult by just being there for them, coaching them, adjusting things, making them better and believing in themselves.

SO here it goes, Knollafit Coaching is live! I am so excited to start this journey, all the experiences it will bring, the people I will meet, the lives I may change. All of it!
