New Beginnings!

On March 1st, I got the news I have been waiting over a year for - I have been accepted into the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC!). I discovered Chiropractic in Oct. 2009 after a car accident/basketball injury and after research, informational interviews with Chiropractors, PT's and MD's decided to pursue this. It feels pretty surreal - mostly because the acceptance letter said "Congratulations, you have been accepted... now pay $11,000 for first semester." AY KARUMBA!.

The past two weeks have been quite the adjustment - with moving personal training studio's and trying to maintain my client base while thinking about payment for school I really am at a crossroads. I LOVE training, and I love everyone I work with - I was really hoping to continue to train throughout chiropractic college because it is something I could fit into my schedule and I could share the cool, new things I would be learning with my clients. However, it comes down to doing what is best for my future and right now, I need to save as much as I can in order to set myself up for future success.

Ryan is home this weekend! We are thinking about hosting a Lacrosse dryland training clinic on Saturday morning. I believe that many young athletes, and even teenage athletes do not understand the important of strength and conditioning for their sport. I certainly didn't do any type of training outside of basketball practise and the camps I attended in the summer. It is IMPERATIVE to strength train, to work on conditioning, endurance and flexibility if you want to take your sport skill to the next level. I hope to work with as many young athletes to inspire and assist them in this.

That's it.
