Aaron has been a Crossfit coach and has experience in health and nutrition. He has a great, powerful mindset, and I’m going to find out how he created his successful mindset today.

Aaron grew up in Colorado, playing different sports based on the seasons. At 13, he was introduced to weight training from his soccer coach. The first time he sat on a bench, he was hooked! He noticed he was getting stronger on the field, and his body was looking better, which was a big confidence builder. As a result, he decided to weight train consistently. At 18, Aaron took his training to a new level when he chose to compete as a bodybuilder

He met his wife, a professional softball player. After they were dating for several months, Aaron has the opportunity to lead the speed, strength, and agility training at her brother’s professional sports facility. He fell in love with Crossfit when one of his student’s father introduced him to Crossfit in 2009. The first workout he tried was four rounds, and at about series two, Aaron’s body was taxed. One year later, he was certified in Crossfit.

Aaron had never really paid attention to nutrition until he realized how important proper nutrition was for recovery. He researched more about nutrition and the two most significant diets at the time: Paleo and Zone diets. Aaron tried the Zone diet with remarkable results after just one month. He reduced his recovery time post-workout from 20 minutes to less than five minutes.

His mother had passed away at a young age from diabetes, and his father also developed diabetes. He understood from his parents' experiences that he didn’t want to have the same poor quality of life, which motivated him more to eat with proper nutrition.

Aaron recommends the following books: 

• The Slide Edge by Jeff Olsen 
• Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill
• Before Happiness by Shawn Achor
• The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer
