I can't introduce myself without giving a shoutout to the coach who set me on this path.
About 15 years ago, I was absolutely terrified to take the boxing class at the gym where I was personal training. Instead of taking it myself, I made my clients go and report back to me! π
Thanks to Lenny's constant encouragement, belief in me, and unwavering support, here I am today.
It was so special seeing him this past weekend and finally getting to tell him how much he changed my life. His response was something I'll never forget:
"The greatest gift you've ever given me is sharing this sport with others and having an impact on their lives."
Well, Lenny, because of what you gave me, hundreds of lives have been touched. π©·
