What has Fitness Given Me?

This post could be a mile long and I would still not be done writing. I won’t bore you with the details of everything and keep this list short to the 5 things that fitness has given me.

My Wife - Exactly this. My partner in life was introduced to me through mutual friends(just another addition for my 3rd reason) and our shared passion for fitness, health and wellness and helping others is what blended our lives together. Fitness has given me someone who has a love for all life has to offer and someone who has the energy and zeal to pursue it with her mind, body and soul.

My family - With my dad being my coach in all of my sports growing up, and his dad being a coach as well and having 3 siblings who played sports, we all shared each others wins and losses. Those moments of shared experience brought us closer together as a family and something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

My Friends - A lot of the friendships that people have growing up can be the most impactful on our lives down the road. Whether those friends are a constant in your life, transient or have fallen away they leave an impact on us. My closest friends are people who I played sports with as a kid and have grown alongside. While not all of my friends hold fitness as close to their hearts as I do, those hours spent on the field, or the mat together shaped how we handle adversity and taught us how to work together as a team and lean on one another.

Opportunity - By prioritizing my health and wellness there are more opportunities available to me in this world. More energy to play with my nieces and nephews, more options for traveling, more opportunities to help others.

Trust - Always save the best for last.
