Utilizing Your Youth Part II
Never will there come a day that I don’t miss competitive sports. Some days, I’ll closely watch the athletes grinding away in the gym and become filled with envy and nostalgia. I’ll think back to when I was the first athlete with Elite Fitness and how I didn’t comprehend how blessed I was to be given the opportunity to receive real training with gifted trainers. I’ll even think, if I was born just one or two years later, I would have been able to enjoy the full benefits and maybe live my dream of being a division 1 athlete. But, nevertheless, these are the cards I was dealt, and things could be much worse.
Being the only person that has the perspective of an athlete and a coach at
Elite, I feel it is my responsibility to convey to the young athletes how lucky they should feel to have a place like this. I fully believe that any kid that walks in our doors can get to exactly where they want to be, because I know that the other trainers and I will do everything in our power to help them get there. All we ask is you bring 100% of your effort and an attitude that we can work with. To do this, you must be aware of the opportunity you’re being given. I’ve trained at other facilities, and I trained with Mo at Elite. There is no other experience like this one. Not only did they teach me how to use my body and take my back pain away, but they made me feel important. They made me feel like I was a part of a community. They made me feel wanted. And then, they gave me yet another opportunity to do exactly what I want to do with my life.
At Elite, you will receive premiere training from people who are passionate about what they do and are driven to find the best methods to help anyone achieve any physical goals they have. But that’s not how I define Elite. It isn’t just a gym. It isn’t a tangible item. Elite is a culture,
filled with unique people who have different temperaments, but all with the same goal; to better themselves. It’s an environment created to boost people and maximize their potential, not hinder them, and I am beyond thankful to be a part of such an amazing group of people.
I’ll leave you with this; be aware. Understand the opportunity you have here. Step inside the gym, and feel the aura. Come be competitive, work your ass off, achieve your goals, and come be a part of the culture.
