Become the best version of yourself
Many things start in the mind. By having a strong mind we can overcome most challenges we face in our lives.

Written by coachdebruyns There’s this idea that everyone has a calling. When you do what you’re really supposed to do, somehow you’ll feel fulfilled in life. In fact, everything will just fall into place for you. I’ve heard that story over and over, and truthfully, I don’t buy it. I don’t buy it because as much as it […]
Written by coachdebruyns I remember when I was around 10 years old and crazy about Karate. All the other kids would play soccer, rugby and cricket while I would practice my kicks day in and day out.
