I had a blast interviewing Alex and learned a lot about him. Alex was a shy kid that went through foster care and at one point was homeless. Simply said, he has over come so much in his life and continues to push himself to be better each day. As he entered high school he started to open up and played football. This was the beginning of his love for sports. Through sports he started to fall in love with working out and even talks about wanting to look like wolverine. As high school ended he continued to grow as a person and spontaneously decided to join the military. Shockingly enough it ended up being the perfect fit for him. After the military he decided to go to Springfield College which for him instantly felt like home. He then went on to join the track team and finish his degree at Springfield. During the years he switched his major a few times but after graduating found that he truly had a passion for coaching and that was the direction he wanted to go into. Alex now is pursuing his Masters Degree and continuing to push himself to be better everyday and doing it with a incredibly positive mindset. I highly recommend listening this podcast. It's truly inspiring.
