Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonathan Strickland.
Hi Jonathan, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I had a troubled childhood as most guys in my generation did.. that led to me being incarcerated and while incarcerated I used boxing to stay in shape and keep my head clear. In doing so other inmates saw what I was doing and asked me to teach them. One day I was staring out of my cell window and I just felt that there had to be more to life than being locked in a cell being told what to do all day. I started wondering what I would do when I got out to prevent ever going back and that’s where I came up with the game plan to get out and open a small gym and teach the youth boxing and help them never end up making the mistakes that I have made in my life!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has been pretty smooth honestly. It like the old saying gods blessings bring no sorrow as long as I walk in my purpose I’ll be able to overcome any obstacle.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Coaching/ mentor / fitness / boxing / powerlifting/ I am most proud of all of the young people I have coached and also proud of coaching a national level powerlifter.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I see a steady increase. Fitness and combat sports get more popular daily.
