ITT: Brag about yourself. (lemmy.zip)

It’s frowned upon to brag about yourself. But I feel like it’s good to hype yourself up, even if it is a little bit extreme or out of the ordinary! Post in this thread celebrating yourself and letting others know something you’re really good at! I’ll start…

I’m a really good coach. Strength and conditioning primarily but athletics overall. If an athlete comes to me and they have the mindset of improvement it’s a damn near guarantee that I will increase their athleticism and make them stronger, faster, more powerful, etc. I’ve trained young kids to become dominant high school athletes, high school athletes to get full ride scholarships to D1 universities, D1 athletes to get drafted to the NFL, MLB, and NBA, and I even trained a couple of professional athletes as well! All that said in a REALLY good strength and conditioning coach.

What can you brag about?!

I am a really good earthmover, heavy equipment operator. My machine of choice that I run daily is a motorgrader.
Other equipment I am very skilled with; bulldozers, scrapers, and loaders. Fair on excavators. Skid steers and loader backhoes I am average.

That's a hard one. I've built some small lakes which is rewarding. I really enjoy the terracing jobs I do now. Years ago I wanted a place of my own with my own pond. My wife and I bought 80 acres, I made an existing pond way bigger, and we hired a house built in 2008. We divorced in 2018 and I sold the place to pay her and put my 2 kids through college. The place is beautiful. 1441 Trefoil Rd Burlington, Ks I built a 300 ft zipline, this video is my daughter and now son-inlaw: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1bkU9mX502s
