Be the coach who doesn’t just talk the talk. Be the coach who walks the walk.
✔️ Progress Update
Growing up in an Italian-American family, food was love—but it also came with a little guilt. You didn’t stop at one serving because, apparently, the food wasn’t good if you did. 😂
For years, I struggled with my weight. Life, relationships, complacency, and losing pieces of myself along the way led to that familiar cycle of gaining, losing, and gaining again.
Somehow, I managed to get away with half-assing my fitness when it came to horses. I was strong, and I had talent and feel. But looking back, I was doing myself—and my horses—a disservice by not taking my own physical fitness seriously.
I wasn’t a high school athlete. I never learned how to train in a gym, how to build strength intentionally, or what it really meant to develop my body for competitive sports.
So this summer, after some serious self-reflection, I made the gym a priority. Somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like a chore and started feeling like a sanctuary.
I’m doing things I honestly never thought I could do. I’m getting stronger, faster, more capable, and watching my body change in ways I once thought were impossible.
But this isn’t about chasing a number on a scale anymore.
It’s about becoming an athlete.
It’s about setting goals that intimidate you. Having dreams so big they scare the s**t out of you. And being willing to put in the work, even when nobody is watching.
Because if I’m going to coach others to be better athletes, I need to hold myself to that same standard.
A little over 3️⃣ months into this big push, and I’m already becoming the athlete I never knew I could be.
The coach is becoming the athlete. And we’re just getting started. 🖤🔥
