Online Coaching Success Story with Adam Skillin

Online Coaching Success Story: Before Coaching

Adam Skillin worked various jobs, including banking, but always knew he did not want to go down the typical 9-5 path.

Adam lives and grew up in New Jersey. He worked in the banking industry and also did various jobs including bartending. More than once he picked a job that did not align with good macroeconomic timing.

He became interested in BJJ and MMA, and thought that this would become his side hustle. He planned to open up a gym and tried to get a professional fight.

In 2010 he saw someone in his weight class (he was 5’6″ and weighed 130 pounds) deadlift 405 pounds and did not think that was possible. Further, he immediately saw that getting stronger would provide benefits to his strength.

He began training, got stronger, it improved his BJJ game, and others grew interested. Suddenly, he was coaching other people.
