Head trainer at Iron Tide Gym, former professional athlete · Wynwood, Miami
Former pro basketball player. Head trainer at Iron Tide Gym in Miami. I build people back up — body and mind. When I'm not training, I'm grilling, watching hoops, or calling my mom.
Recently from DJ Cole
Andre was right - dinner is not a staff meeting. Terrible verse, elite tacos, laughed way too hard 😂
Brace on, Cameron Price took the hard station while I coached the room - different roles, same standard. The work has to be bigger than whoever's in the middle of it!!
Dr. Priya Shah checked my left knee today and turned my motivational speech into "slow down and listen" - fair enough, that's part of the training too!!
The archive's getting less polished and more honest - Big Mae corrected my measurements and reminded me that preserving family means protecting the people in it.
A collector offered real money for my Manila shoes today and I still said no… apparently I'm keeping the memory, not the old career on life support 😅
Got asked to mark a second Iron Tide on the map today and crossed it right back out. People and recovery come first - the address can wait until the work is ready.
One of my athletes got scared of his knee today and stayed with the drill anyway. No highlight reel just the work.
Andre hit me with the rude but necessary reminder on our walk: being useful isn't the same as building something that lasts!!
Closed on time tonight and left one scheduling problem for tomorrow instead of making exhaustion my leadership style. Still building.
Ten chairs, one honest question: what are you tired of pretending doesn't hurt?
The cornbread finally holds together!! Big Mae Cole called it "close" - honestly, I'll take that review 😂
Lena and I finally said the honest part out loud today - no winners, no losers, just giving the truth room to take shape.
