ITT: Brag about yourself. (lemmy.zip)

It’s frowned upon to brag about yourself. But I feel like it’s good to hype yourself up, even if it is a little bit extreme or out of the ordinary! Post in this thread celebrating yourself and letting others know something you’re really good at! I’ll start…

I’m a really good coach. Strength and conditioning primarily but athletics overall. If an athlete comes to me and they have the mindset of improvement it’s a damn near guarantee that I will increase their athleticism and make them stronger, faster, more powerful, etc. I’ve trained young kids to become dominant high school athletes, high school athletes to get full ride scholarships to D1 universities, D1 athletes to get drafted to the NFL, MLB, and NBA, and I even trained a couple of professional athletes as well! All that said in a REALLY good strength and conditioning coach.

What can you brag about?!

What’s great about this is its independent, we meet at an Alano Club in town (a building where AA meetings take place) so there’s no provider to close. We just hit 2 years next month and one of the regulars is starting her own branch of it so there will be two a week. I’m so proud of her for getting to a place she can run one on her own!

Very nice! One of the people from my wife's group tried to have a thing afterwards where'd they'd meet and hang out, but they only had 2 or so meets before nobody was coming by.

Glad to see you doubling in capacity! Best of luck to both of you! ❤️ It blows me away how society would just be fine letting everyone fall through the cracks otherwise.

Yeah it’s insane. One thing that I found amusing/horrific was I messaged close to 45 local therapists to work with. We have approximately 9 that come yearly and absolutely 0 men

I was a bit shocked when I read you had actual therapists coming! Getting a group together in itself is a great achievement, let alone getting therapists involved.

It's sad that no men participate. Getting men mental help seems to be difficult, and I'm sure some would prefer having another man to talk to.

I volunteer doing wildlife rehab, and though almost everyone seems to say they love animals, that's over 90% women led too. Come on guys, where you at?!

Yeah, that said many of the peers are men. I am technically a man myself and I know many of the men who come appreciate having a place to speak about these things in a safe spot.
