You Cover Sports But Can’t Climb Stairs, Really?

There’s No Excuse to Be Out of Shape in the Sports Industry

The same industry that celebrates elite athletes — discipline, sacrifice, pushing limits — is full of people who reject those exact values in their own lives.

That contradiction is wild to me.

I started working out for a very simple reason.

I’m a hockey influencer. I go to games, I’m around athletes, people recognize me, take pictures with me, talk to me. And at some point it hit me — what exactly am I representing?

Because let’s be honest for a second.

The sports industry is full of people who don’t look like they’ve done any sport since primary school. Commentators, media people, “experts,” even influencers — talking about performance, discipline, elite athletes… while looking like they would pass out after one warm-up lap.

And I just thought: no.

Not me.
