I had written and revised my Will three times by the age of 25
from Live Train Perform · host Shaun Kober
In today's episode, I reflect on my time in Afghanistan, and some of the lessons I took from writing and revising my Will three times by the age of 25.I also go into a little detail of the circumstances that unfolded during the first few weeks of my deployment where my sniper team leader was shot as we were ambushed by the Taliban, as well as reflect upon a conversation that I had with a psychologist as we were handing back our weapons, ammunition, and body armour etc. whilst we were winding down over the last few days of our deployment, to head home after nine months on the ground fighting for the safety and security of the local population. This was the third of my three deployments, and whilst every deployment had an impact on my life, the events that unfolded leading up to my deployment to Afghanistan, and the time spent fighting on the ground with an amazing team of blokes all dedicating their lives to a purpose higher than themselves, played a significant role in the man that I am today.This episode will drop on the 12th of October, with the 13th of October being the ten year anniversary of my first significant engagement with the enemy, in 2010.I'm grateful for serving my country.I'm grateful that dumb luck didn't take many more lives of our team.I'm grateful for the leadership and mentors that I had through this period that had a massive impact on the soldier that I was.And I'm grateful for the lessons I learned throughout my entire 6 year Military career, which have now been re-purposed and re-structured to allow me to thrive both personally and professionally in my chosen path.Your host - Shaun KoberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_kobes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/performancefunctionaltrainingYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnOpTWXi1xKdamDBgzlfaPw?view_as=subscriberShaun 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/
