ITT: Brag about yourself. (lemmy.zip)

It’s frowned upon to brag about yourself. But I feel like it’s good to hype yourself up, even if it is a little bit extreme or out of the ordinary! Post in this thread celebrating yourself and letting others know something you’re really good at! I’ll start…

I’m a really good coach. Strength and conditioning primarily but athletics overall. If an athlete comes to me and they have the mindset of improvement it’s a damn near guarantee that I will increase their athleticism and make them stronger, faster, more powerful, etc. I’ve trained young kids to become dominant high school athletes, high school athletes to get full ride scholarships to D1 universities, D1 athletes to get drafted to the NFL, MLB, and NBA, and I even trained a couple of professional athletes as well! All that said in a REALLY good strength and conditioning coach.

What can you brag about?!

I didn't go to college and knew I had to gain as much real work experience as I could to be competitive. That ultimately landed a managing position with a huge international company making about 80k a year.

That job drove me down so hard I ended up having a mental breakdown, went into a program, and quit the job.

I started over with another local company making $19 an hour. In a year and a half I've been promoted a few times and am now making 70k a year with the understanding from this place that I guard my mental health very closely and they e been absolutely cool with everything.

That’s dope that you were able to climb the ladder relatively quickly wherever you are. I was also in a similar situation where I was in a work environment that wasn’t the best for my mental health. I’m glad you were able to find a place where you can still make some cash and protect your mental health
