After college was over, I was no longer playing football. I had graduated from a sport that I had dedicated 16 years of my life and now it was just done. I felt lost and could not fill the void left by football. I finally realized it was the reason I felt like something was missing in my life. This is my reason for getting out of bed each morning. Suddenly that feeling of something missing started to fade (a little).
To my professional life and saw a fundamental change in my work
I got excited about taking on new clients, I connected more with. My current clients, and the kms team felt closer than ever, even though they. Were physically halfway across the country. But as I felt increasingly fulfilled in my. Professional life, I was still feeling that emptiness in my personal life.
Time marched on and in late telephone number list february of 2019, I visited a good family. Friend and the man responsible for my meathead lifestyle – coach al. Al coached at maclay. School, a private prep school in tallahassee, for nearly. 20 years as their strength and conditioning coach.
He and I spent hours catching up and talking. Near the end of our conversation, he asked me if I had ever considered coaching football. Interestingly, one would think that after playing the sport at a high level for 16 years, coaching would have been at least a thought- it wasn’t. He then introduced me to the head football coach, lance ramer. We had an instantaneous connection.
After going through the formal interview and hiring process
Speaking with my leadership team at keymedia solutions in sioux falls, and some prayer, I accepted the position of offensive IE Lists and defensive line coach at maclay school for their varsity football program. I would also be assisting with strength and conditioning. The missing piece was back in place. Now as a coach instead of a player, I can demonstrate to the next generation all the opportunities football has to offer. I am now fulfilling my “why”, giving people opportunities they haven’t had before.
