THIS WEEKEND CHANGED EVERYTHING!
autism, asberger's, fitness professional

I just spent 3 days in Stamford Connecticut with 300+ of the brightest, most professional fitness trainers and owners from all over the world. The underlying theme over the weekend was to take action...something I have been writing about for months.
The dress was business casual (no spandex and tight t-shirts), the egos were left at the door and the networking that went on was nothing short of incredible.
It was so powerful in fact, that just one connection I made was worth 10 times what I spent on travel, hotel AND for the conference. I spent some time with Brian Grasso, founder and CEO of the IYCA (International Youth Conditioning Association) and it was the pinnicle of a career changing, and life changing decision that I have known I had to make.
I will be taking on the task of creating opportunities for kids on the spectrum of Autism and kids with Asperger's Syndrome to be physically active. Whether it be via connection to a qualified fitness professional for individual or small group training or through fun, non-competitive sports activities, my goal is to provide as many outlets as possible because presently...there are none.
These children are simply left to fend for themselves with no way to stay active.
In order to reach this goal, my focus will first be on research and programming, then on creating duplicatable systems that can be taught through this future organization to fitness professionals domestically and around the world.
There, I finally got it out!
Please pray for me and if you know of any resources or would like to help send me an email at dave@homeofficeworkouts.com
Take Action. Give Back. Win.
