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 do go for the jack of all trades approach. So I'm not great at anything, but I'm good enough in most things.

My endurance might be above avarage, really useful for resistance training, giving me higher than avarage work capacity and recovery ability and can maintain it with a decent consistency.

Yeah i know that's not exactly bragging, but I'm trying my best.

This is me too. The best thing about being a generalist is that you start to figure out how skills translate from one trade to another. So the first time you try something, you're generally surprisingly good at it.

Frequently people tell me "Wow you'd be a really good ____!" in regards to whatever the task at hand is. It's amazing how capable you can be when you do things thoughtfully and deliberately. Honestly seems like a superpower sometimes.

We’re not used to bragging about ourselves. So I’m assuming you, just like me, haven’t done it in years. But I’d say you did pretty good for your first time bragging! Also endurance and work capacity and very important in training. Kudos to you for being ahead of the curve!

Exactly, have to train that one as well.
