Client Corner: Damian Gilbert part 2

Send us a text


Damian is a friend, colleague and client.

He served his country, and experienced the highs and lows of war
that most front-line soldiers share. From being blown up in an
Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detonation, to putting the
pieces of his brothers back together in body bags. He suffered
from debilitating mental and physical trauma whilst on
deployment, however, unfortunately, the war didn't end when he
returned to the United States.

Damian then served on the Police Force for a few years, prior to
transitioning to becoming a personal trainer. I met Damo when he
returned to Thailand to live, after previously visiting to travel
and train. He was introduced to me, and we had a chat about his
experiences, what he was doing in Thailand, and why he wanted to
come and train out of Tiger Muay Thai. 
I took him on as an intern, where he contributed to the fitness
department, and was a valuable member of the team.

He now works as a private security contractor based in the Middle
East. 

Damo contacted me about coming on-board as an online client, and
we share some of the most impactful tools and lessons that we
have implemented in his life in this insightful conversation
between coach and client.

This is part 2 of a two and a half hour conversation.

Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a
unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various
stages of life.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."


The odds were stacked against me:


Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work,
abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years
period of my life


Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping
school


At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my
pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new
life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work
and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier,
at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit
to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the
best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning
coach
38+: The next evolution begins
