I am really passionate about fitness and health. I love to read articles and books about improving muscle strength. I really love seeing the progress i make from month to month in the weight room. I also love to run. The feeling that you get while running around the Charles river on a crisp Autumn morning is therapeutic. It reminds us how beautiful life can be. I love taking in the air and watching nature as a pass by the trees the leaves and the gleaming river.
Working as a sports trainer for a very reputable sports team or gym would be a great career. Many people want to be executives,lawyers,lawmen or doctors. But to me those careers would not make me happy. My passion is to help people improve their lives and fitness. If i can coach somebody to better health and sports performance i would be happy. It would be my way of giving back to the world. I would be providing people with skills to live longer stronger fitter lives. I would be changing the lives of the doctors lawyers and executives.
I would like to work with people who are trying to get into shape. Fitness beginners as they may be called would be the perfect demographic for my service. I would an environment that would not be judgmental or their abilities. I would build self esteem and i would watch my trainees bloom in the weight room. I would love to coach for free to help out kids who are in danger of joining gangs or doing drugs. I would coach for free for all of those who do not have the money to pay for a coach.
The iron and I like two dance partners
I lead the iron follows
I take a look at the iron before our dance
I become nervous
I take a deep breath and push my chest our
the iron stares at me
shinning the light from the gyms bulb the iron signals
signals that it is time to start our dance
our dance of struggle
loaded with 300 pounds the iron tells me i must start
as i begin our dance and perform my first repetition
i feel my body being anchored to the floor
sweat runs through my face
heat pours from my body
I realize i am dancing with the devil
one repetition is not enough neither is two
nothing satisfies this beast for
the dance does not end until i put the iron back into its rack
and as i rack the weight i realize
the dance with the iron is a trip to hell and back.
Marvin,
ReplyDeleteAnother great post!
I think that your passion is excellent and that you've done a great job of tying that passion to a job and career path here. You'd be an excellent personal trainer and coach, I'm sure. If it's your passion, people will show up. They'll sense it.
I recall your mentor being one of your soccer coaches. It's pretty cool to see that you have the interest to become a mentor to others now, through sports.
I think you're on the right track!
