What's your business, and who are your customers?
I successfully run a sports and fitness company. We train professional athletes, high school and college athletes, along with adult fitness clients. We also do business with corporate companies and run a corporate fitness program for government workers and teachers.
Tell us about yourself
I have been in fitness all my life. I started off with my first love, which was basketball. I started playing basketball at 6 years old. After that, I got into track and field and a little soccer. I focused my sports on basketball; I played high school basketball and then was blessed to get a scholarship to play basketball in the Big East division 1 conference at Providence college. After college, I went on to play professionally in Europe, then finished my career playing semi-pro in New York and Pennsylvania. After I finished my basketball career, I decided to be a personal trainer to help teach all that I know. I got certified to also become a strength and conditioning coach and started training college and professional athletes.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is always helping my clients overcome any mental health challenges so they can change how they think about themselves as a person. Change their confidence and bad habits that will help prepare them for real-life situations they may need to overcome.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing as a business owner in my field is client retention and constantly keeping clients in my schedule. Sometimes it can be slow during certain seasons of the year.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Stay consistent, be patient, and have determination, so you don’t give up when hard times come around.
