i dont think he is trying to brag, he is just enthusiastic and excited about his new experience and wanted to share it.
he isnt saying he is a training genius that knows all, he is simply saying that the knowledge that he has gained from reading t-mag and various other publications is considerable and is helping him get results for his clients.
it may have come off as arrogant but i highly doubt he is trying to brag.
In hindsight, I acted like a jackass. I apologize. Bottom line is Thunder is neither an asshole nor an arrogant prick. I don’t really want him to blow me either. I suppose he has nice legs too. I sentence myself to viewing a half hour of “The Mulletts” on UPN.
I think you sound like you are happy with what you are doing and your current situation. I meet very few people who feel that way about their work…I hope you can continue to do so. I also find it refreshing that you are willing to assist some of the other trainers in finding the correct way of training others. It’s often through teaching others that we learn the most. It’s very rare to find cooperation in the work environment.
Because you are enthusiastic about training, people most likely notice. This is probably why you are getting clients. Afterall, training should be fun as well life improving.
