What have you been up to the last couple of years? Hint: you will never guess what I did!
I am a very accomplished strength coach with multiple championships, too many degrees and certifications and I've had some of the best jobs in the industry.
Covid sucked. Everything about it made me angry, everything. That anger crept into one of those great positions when I was the director of a program and ultimately led me to move on due to unfortunate circumstances.
Then, at the ripe age of 43, married with 2 kids, I thought it would be a great idea to return to a dream I had 20 years ago and become a cop.
That's right, during the worst time for that profession and for my stage in life, I got hired by an agency and went through the academy, completed on-the-job training, and was on my own. 7 months into the job, I decided it wasn't the right time at this stage in my life.
To be honest, it was the best experience and decision I ever made. I really did think I would be a cop for the next 20 years. Although the job didn't work out because working midnights at 43 while being a dad and husband was harder than we thought it would be, the experience gave me the opportunity to have no regrets.
Now, I am able to clearly see my vision as I re-open My Coach Rich and help those who want training and nutrition. Over 20 years in the field and I took a break to fulfill a dream.
I'm not saying it was smart or that I am better than anyone. I am just sharing this experience because so many people are unhappy and it is never too late to try something new. To be honest, I didn't want any regrets in the end. As a result, my path is clearer than it has ever been.
All that said, what have you done so you can move forward without regrets?
