Growing up, I was always active through playing sports such as karate, tennis and swimming. But, golf became the one I truly committed to. Through competitions and hours of practice, the game taught me early on what it means to work hard, stay disciplined, and handle pressure.
Along my journey as a competitive golfer, I faced setbacks that tested me in ways I didn’t expect. I went through a period of illness and experienced moments of fear, frustration, and doubt. It challenged me physically, mentally, and emotionally, and forced me to step back.
As I started to pursue golf at a higher level, I initially got into strength training to get stronger and improve my performance. But along the way, I developed a deeper appreciation and enjoyment of being able to move our bodies. I saw how powerful movement can be, not just for rebuilding physical strength, but also for restoring confidence and mental resilience.
Through it all, my experiences have built a deep desire to help others in their own fitness journey: whether that is helping them to reach their goals, overcome obstacles, or empower them to believe in their own potential. I want to remind others what I’ve learned firsthand: that movement is a privilege.
