I'd learned a lot in the Army. I knew that above all things in the world I had to become so big, so strong that people and their hatred could never touch me.

It became my solace. Because it's the only thing structured in my life right now. Training is sort of a therapy session, I guess.

I think, like a lot of other people who have been in the service, you'd been delayed in what you were doing. You wanted to catch up and the best way to catch up was to move as fast as you could toward a degree.

Did I have rough days? Days I didn't want to train? Days I thought my career would never get back off the ground and possibly be over? Absolutely.

The people that really were important, that mattered, had a great foundation. I had no training. I had to learn while doing, and it was really difficult.

I realized I was the one doing all the training, earning the money, and my parents were living off of me.

I'm sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher.

Job training empowers people to realize their dreams and improve their lives.

I trained, went to college, trained, and got a job. Then got another job. When I wasn't working I worked at a bar, then got another job.
