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?!

My wild ones pretty much just want to get away from me, but I'm starting to think domestic animals seem to know that they don't get the chance to escape us, and I think that takes away a lot of the "flight" and we get more "fight" as a result. I've been hurt way more by cats and dogs than anything wild.

My focus is specifically cats, mostly kittens. I've fostered both friendly and feral moms with young kittens and have only been bitten by the friendly ones. I need to check on the kittens daily to weigh them, and feral moms have been all "flight" when I reach in to borrow their babies, letting me do whatever as long as I leave her alone. In my experience, it's only been the friendlier moms that sometimes get defensive of their babies.

Very interesting! I had one rescue cat I got from someone fostering her and she was a total sweety and I could do near anything to her. Then I took in 3 semi-feral neighborhood cats who where calm enough until I tried to give them any kind of medicine or trim their nails and would then have no issue biting me or scratching me up and then go hide for a while. Thankfully for all our sakes, they were all pretty healthy and long lived! 😆
