Hi, welcome to my Myspace blog….wait…no…sorry…I’m having a flashback.
So the reason I wanted to start writing again was twofold.
First of all, I needed a creative outlet. There has been a lot of things I have wanted to write about lately and this will give me a platform to do so. I don’t like posting long statuses on Facebook, so this will give me the platform to write longer musings. I don’t know how much or how often I’ll write something. I may give up after a few weeks. That won’t bother me at all. If I’m not getting what I wanted out of this, I will not continue to do it. What will I write about? Powerlifting? Football? Why an all female cast of Ghostbusters isn’t the worst thing that could happen? Yes.
The second reason is to educate the readers, who will probably be 99% my friends and 1% spam bot telling me that I need to give them my credit card information (I hope that’s the ratio I get and not the other way around). I’ve had great opportunities to talk to and meet some amazing people in both the fitness community and in the coaching community. I hope to pass along what I have learned to whomever will listen to them. I know that I’m not anything special, I have no college education in the field of exercise/physiology/kinesiology etc., nor would I be considered an elite athlete who has accomplished many impressive things. But I am someone who enjoys to learn and enjoys to teach. There are too many people out there who enjoy one or the other, but not both. I’m just hoping this blog will be beneficial both to you and I.
When I am through learning, then I am through
