Speaker 1: Seven SMSs now on three one seven or.
Speaker 2: Two Leo talking about Monday motivation of course this morning,
Speaker 2: and it's fitness and looking at staying fit and active
Speaker 2: at every age and what are the most common misconceptions
Speaker 2: about exercise and aging? Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1: Well, for me, it's always people saying that I'm too
Speaker 1: old to start. That's that's the biggest one. Where people
Speaker 1: are always saying that, ah nah, you know I'm forty
Speaker 1: or or I'm fifty, and you know, basically they intend
Speaker 1: to give up on life in my opinion, And yeah,
Speaker 1: so that that's for me, it's like the biggest misconception.
Speaker 2: And how do you motivate someone? It's really difficult, especially
Speaker 2: during this weather. You know, personally, I think getting outfits
Speaker 2: and you know, the fit leisure, these communities. I started
Speaker 2: posting some of my not like, you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: a professional, but I did it and I'm a bit
Speaker 2: more courageous. I I'm okay with failing in people, uh
Speaker 2: you know, but not if people and criticizing but not
Speaker 2: everyone has that confidence. And for me, now I knew
Speaker 2: that when I started getting those games, people then come
Speaker 2: and start being supportive of what But what do you
Speaker 2: say to people who are you know, scared or the
Speaker 2: shame of their bodies or age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, first of all, I think
Speaker 1: you should also like set yourself some short term goals,
Speaker 1: you know, and not not go to to beg on
Speaker 1: the on the goals and then surround yourself, yeah, with
Speaker 1: with with the right people and and you know, like
Speaker 1: you said, joining a run club or you know, getting
Speaker 1: in the right environment. And yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we we all started somewhere, so you know, it's there's
Speaker 1: there's no need to be a shamed and it's a journey.
Speaker 2: Tell us about your your regime and organization because you
Speaker 2: all you seem to have found a way to look
Speaker 2: at the physical and mental and emotional aspect of it.
Speaker 2: That's quite holistic.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So after spending seventeen years on the football pitch
Speaker 1: as a former professional footballer, yeah so. Yeah, played in
Speaker 1: Cape Town at Ikapa Sporting as well. So if you
Speaker 1: go deep into the whole youth career, I was at
Speaker 1: Cape on Spurs Helenic back in the day and then
Speaker 1: went into playing the NFD legacy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So after the NFD, I left to Finland and played
Speaker 1: in the top league in Finland. At TPS played this
Speaker 1: is impressive, thank you, thank you, and played there for
Speaker 1: four or.
Speaker 2: Five years, spoke and that humility, I'm sure it does
Speaker 2: a lot for you to be able to, you know,
Speaker 2: connect with people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And you know, it's been an
Speaker 1: incredible journey. I've been very fortunate. I think one of
Speaker 1: the biggest lessons I've learned in this journey is, you know,
Speaker 1: is to stay humble and be humble, because that's what
Speaker 1: opened up doors for me. And yeah, after playing, I
Speaker 1: knew that I wanted to be involved with the game
Speaker 1: still and I did my way for bee license as
Speaker 1: a football coach. So after getting the way for bee
Speaker 1: license as a football coach, I also knew that I
Speaker 1: wanted to dive into the science aspect of the game.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's when I did my sports science degree
Speaker 1: and after that I made the transition from a head
Speaker 1: coach into the physical aspect of the game. And in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, I started hitting the ceiling as far
Speaker 1: as growing as a coach.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: I took my journey abroad or yeah, from Finland, I
Speaker 1: went to Spain, I went to Belgium, I went to
Speaker 1: England to DA La liga you're familiar with the clubs.
Speaker 1: I went to Villareal Valencia and I went to the
Speaker 1: Premier League. I went to Burnley just to learn and
Speaker 1: to grow as a coach. The game changes every day.
