Today, we continue the conversation with a corporate lawyer turned Youth Fitness Advocate.\\xa0 Imagine being a leading corporate lawyer and management consultant advising publicly-listed companies and governments on how to save millions of dollars to then buying and building your own gym aimed at teaching and training kids. It\\u2019s not like these two things were related fields AT ALL.\\xa0

Sam Mathers was the Australian Corporate Mum-of-2 who was passionate about her CrossFit and exercise and was coaching functional fitness to youth as a volunteer.\\xa0 It was a conversation between her and her hubby that asked: \\u201cif I could do anything and money didn\\u2019t matter\\u2026if I could do what I\\u2019m truly passionate about\\u2026what would I be doing? And the answer came out crystal clear: coaching youth!\\u201d.\\xa0 She recognized that Consulting law may have paid well and she was good at it, but she wasn\\u2019t changing lives \\u2013 so the writing was on the wall in big BLOCK letters: MAKE THE CHANGE. And in 2016, she created \\u201cFitter Futures\\u201d w her front and centre tagline\\u2026\\u201cChanging Lives\\u201d.\\xa0 She no longer dreams about what could be but is living it, moment by moment.

When Sam invited us to her colourful, modern and epic new gym-space-opening, hearing her story had me know I had to share it with our wider community \\u2013 it\\u2019s the permission some of you need TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.\\xa0 As you listen to her story, pls be aware that this has been brewing in her since 2012 and possibly even longer before that; its an evolution.\\xa0 Recognize what stage you might be in and then listen for what\\u2019s possible in Sam\\u2019s story!

The Goods on Sam at Fitter Futures:

I\\u2019ve always been active, as a kid, teenager and now adult.\\xa0 And as a parent of two young daughters, I am very conscious of being a role model who has a big influence on their mindset with respect to self-image, self-confidence, setting goals, and being healthy, fit individuals.

I love how our program here at Fitter Futures appeals to lots of different types of kids and teens, including those who until now, may have struggled to enjoy physical exertion or sports.\\xa0 And for those kids who are enthusiastic athletes in their chosen sports, we have seen how our training program helps them develop their athleticism and improve performance in those pursuits.

It\\u2019s so satisfying to see kids and teens having fun while being challenged, and gaining confidence by achieving something great in every work-out.\\xa0 Aside from the obvious physical benefits, our program fosters self-belief and kids learn life lessons about resilience, perseverance, trying your best, respecting your body and respecting and encouraging others.

I am passionate about ensuring that every child we coach has a great experience, and that we positively impact the future of every athlete that we are lucky enough to work with.Start working on your body today, and with our individual fitness program, already in 90 days you will see a totally different girl in the mirror!
