Client Corner: Damian Gilbert part 4

Damian is a friend, colleague and client.He served his country, and experienced the highs and lows of war that most front-line soldiers share. From being blown up in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detonation, to putting the pieces of his brothers back together in body bags. He suffered from debilitating mental and physical trauma whilst on deployment, however, unfortunately, the war didn't end when he returned to the United States.Damian then served on the Police Force for a few years, prior to transitioning to becoming a personal trainer. I met Damo when he returned to Thailand to live, after previously visiting to travel and train. He was introduced to me, and we had a chat about his experiences, what he was doing in Thailand, and why he wanted to come and train out of Tiger Muay Thai. I took him on as an intern, where he contributed to the fitness department, and was a valuable member of the team.He now works as a private security contractor based in the Middle East. Damo contacted me about coming on-board as an online client, and we share some of the most impactful tools and lessons that we have implemented in his life in this insightful conversation between coach and client.This is part 4, and the final installment of a two and a half hour conversation.Your host - Shaun KoberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancefunctionaltrainingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOpTWXi1xKdamDBgzlfaPw/videosYour guest: Damian GilbertInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/billyelgoat/Rate and Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/livetrainperform   Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life."I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."The odds were stacked against me:●       Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life●       Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school●       At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 200014 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach38+: The next evolution begins #coachedbykobes#livetrainperform#mindsetandperformanceLive Life To The Fullest.Train To Your Potential.Perform At Your Best!https://www.coachedbykobes.com/
