“It was spring time. I was coaching baseball, I was teaching, we had our son JJ and I felt bad I wasn’t seeing him and my wife enough. In one of my classes, I had a panic attack in the middle of class. My heart started racing. I started sweating and couldn’t talk. I had no idea what was going on. I sat down and kind of played it off. I did research later on and these were telltale signs of a panic attack. It was a wake up call. It wasn’t sustainable. I was exercising a lot and eating healthy but it was the emotional and psychological part that I wasn’t well. Then I knew we had to simplify. It was too much on the plate. It was an injury to my mind. It was my body telling me you can’t do this anymore. It’s too much. Now I feel like I have such a healthier lifestyle. Even though the physical activity isn’t there as much, the balance has more than made up for it.”
