Why do we sponsor the Football League for children and what is related to fitness

My daughter was terrified of walking in the first football practice. You did not know anyone. She was not sure that she would be good enough, or what her teammates are thinking.

But by the end of the hour, she was wandering with excitement. Thanks to the coach who has been confirmed that every child’s hair is as if he was belonging, the teammates of the supporters, and a lot of positive reinforcement.

That moment reminded me of why fitness is.

This spirit – to make everyone feel vision, encouragement, and part of the team, regardless of their starting point – is exactly what I think is missing from most of the fitness industry.

Often, the gym and classrooms feel competitive sports championships – designed for people who already love exercise, they already feel confident, and they already know what they are doing.
​
But what if you were a “new child” walking at the first exercise at the age of thirty … or 50 … or 70? You can feel intimidated as I had nine years old, raising its Almoravids for the first time.

In Nerd Fitness, we want to turn this text program.

✅ Regardless of your skill level, there is a place for you here.

✅ Everyone gets “playing time”

✅ The goal is not the best in the room – it’s a little better, together.

It is not an accident that my daughter felt this way. The ReC League, which we are part of it built on this central idea:

Everyone deserves an opportunity to play, and everyone deserves an opportunity to fall in love with football.

Everything in the league, from the administration, to the coaches, to how teammates deal with each other is a reflection of that.

Just like it is not an accident that people stumble on fitness and feel the same. I received this message from this week’s reader:

​
Fitness is for anyone in anyone. Everyone deserves an opportunity to find the fitness that works for them.

For this reason, we decided to sponsor my daughter’s local Rec Soccer league in the outskirts of Indiana in the next fall season.
​
​Not because she will get a lot of views, clicks or likes.

But since the fitness should feel that this first practice: encouragement, fun, and focuses on a slight settlement from the place where you started – where she leaves screaming with excitement instead of dread.

So, if you feel that the fitness world has not been built for you, I want you to know: You belong here. You have a seat on the table. We are here to help you find joy in moving, regardless of where you start.
​
And if you are already experienced and you find something – amazing! We are very grateful because you are here to continue learning and help support others on their journey.

Note: Looking for a coach who gets something similar to a feeling of exhaustion and fear while you start? I would like to talk to you to hear more about your journey and see how I can help.
