# 5 - How I got into Brain-Based Fitness

Have you ever wondered how a young athlete becomes a trainer, coach, and educator? Or just how someone might get into brain-based fitness in general? Today, I’m going to talk with my podcast producer, Tony, about how I got started from a young age in fitness, and how my training and understanding evolved into the neuro-muscular approach that I use today. I go over my first experiences in strength training, wrestling and physical education, my own struggles with chronic pain and injuries, my introduction to the Burdenko Method, my discovery of Z-Health and diving deep into applied neuroscience, and how I finally was able to solve problems with chronic pain for not only myself, but for my clients as well. I also share some of my current challenges as I continue to learn and grow as coach and educator. It's been quite a journey and I'm excited to share my story with you.
