Sean's Journey: Expertise in Performance and Recovery
In retrospect, I’ve innately always understood the power of the mind on the body. As a child, I was able to participate in multiple sports simultaneously. During a soccer game, I broke my foot in the first half. Through sheer resilience and determination, I used my mind to block out pain and finished the game.
The ability to channel my mental power and reach goals against the odds continued. I became an avid runner. However, in 2001, I fell down a flight of stairs, chipping my tailbone and rupturing two discs in my spine. I needed an arduous surgery that involved removing the damaged discs, performing a spinal fusion and inserting titanium rods into my back. Recovery was brutal, involving physical therapy and relearning to walk. I started with a walker and a brace, then graduated to a cane, and eventually walked unaided. Many, including doctors, told me my running days were over.
I persevered in healing and coming back to general full health. After everything that I had one through, attempting my first 5K was daunting. I couldn’t finish it. Still, I refused to give up. Gradually, I improved and completed a 5K, albeit slowly. Buoyed by this success, I continued training, progressing to 10Ks, then half marathons (13.1 miles) and finally, full marathons (26.2 miles). Running the LA Marathon was a culmination of my journey, reminding me that everything really is mind over matter. We can achieve goals despite challenges and despite the odds being against us.
I’ve realized that this mindset applies to all areas of life, including health, career and relationships. Our way of thinking not only determines outcomes but also influences how we enjoy our life journey. My experience of turning difficult situations around has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to help others harness the power of their minds and bodies. I love guiding my clients towards invaluable breakthroughs and success. It’s second nature for me as I’ve always been the person that people turn to. Now it’s time that I help you make a powerful difference in your own life!
