Hi my name is Anthony Agtarap and welcome to my High Performance Coaching & Technical Leadership Blog !<\/p>\n

It is here in this blog, where I’ll be sharing my reflections and thoughts as I work through this program. I hope you enjoy it and that you take something out of it that may challenge you or make you look at something in a different perspective. I look forward to reading your comments and feedback on my posts.<\/p>\n

A little bit about me: I’m married to my best friend Samantha who’s pretty awesome. Together we have two incredible teenage daughters both of which inspire me to be the best father I can be everyday for them. In early 2004, I started learning how to coordinate mind and body and become connected to the universe through a martial art practice called Ki-Aikido. I trained daily for over 12 years and eventually instructed some classes at the dojo. The entire experience had a profound impact on me as a person.<\/p>\n

In a former life, I worked as a professional engineer for over 10 years but I wasn’t happy with where the career path would ultimately lead. I decided to make the calculated switch to follow a passion and build a career in the health & fitness industry. Today I’m a full-time strength & conditioning coach, weightlifting coach, I compete as Masters level weightlifter, physical educator, problem solver, and connector at Engineered Bodies Strength & Conditioning<\/a> where I’ve spent over a decade building a strong and inclusive community.<\/p>\n

My core values are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cultivate a growth mindset<\/strong> – by continuing to grow and develop as individuals<\/li>\n
  2. Embrace adversity<\/strong> – because every time we\u2019ve levelled up, it was through adversity.<\/li>\n
  3. Challenge the status quo<\/strong> – because we recognize there are a lot of issues with the current models and we need to acknowledge them and be brave enough to challenge them.<\/li>\n
  4. Commitment to building a strong and inclusive community<\/strong> – because we can\u2019t do this alone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
