From the day I was born I have learnt how to be strong, resilient, and determined. This was due to being born less fortunate and raised in poverty in a very big family. I was forced to become resourceful and find different ways to achieve my goals. Life was also hard for me because I have Autism/ADHD and wear hearing aids. If that wasn't enough I had ginger hair 😆. None of this stopped me achieving from an early age. 💥 Avoiding the same patterns of my siblings and stay out of trouble with the police. 💥 First in my family to finish school. 💥 First in my family to go to university. The early obstacles in life taught me how to survive before I could thrive, These created necessary skills I needed going into my adult years. My early life I pursued a life in sports, I was fortunate enough to swim for Lincolnshire County and later played football for Notts County Academy. An unforeseen ACL injury destroyed a promising football career I had. But this didn't stop me. I went away and obtained many coaching qualifications from football to basketball. I then went to work for my local leisure centre where I developed the ability to build relationships very easy. This skill helped me later progress into a senior management position within the fitness industry. The fitness industry was so good to me and helped develop a vast variety of skills, but I found the more successful I became the longer I worked, some weeks clocking 70 hours. This just wasn't far on myself or my young family. During the first covid lockdown the best thing happened to me, I LOST MY JOB. This forced me to make a change and that change was to put family first, Don't worry I still have you covered and you still get 110% so long as it within the working boundaries I set in place for myself. Having a better work/life balance enabled me to be more productive, which increases my working capabilities and helps support you better.
