When We Combine Forces as a Team We Grow Together

Having a coach guide you through mental hurdles can help you reach your true potential…

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Coach Sajan wanted to share his mental health journey from his book Better than Last Time: How Fitness can Change Your Life.

“Before I became a trainer and before I helped clients with changing almost every aspect of their life from training to mental health, I was depressed and working a dead-end job. Nothing I seemed to be doing was working.
Individually, people are fairly weak. But, when we combine forces as a team that is when we grow together.
In the past I hired a trainer and her name was Coach Kate. She saw my determination and grit to get better, despite how much I hated life at that time. She inspired me to view the gym as a metaphor for life: To take control of my fitness and life and make that change slowly over time. And that was the first time in five years that I felt like I had control over my life. I felt like I could change and make a difference again.”

This is a great excerpt from Sajan’s book as it illustrates the importance of having a coach in your corner to help you get through the challenges that life throws at us. Having a coach guide you through mental hurdles can help you reach your true potential.
