The best recoveries are those that based on the efforts of others.

Update posted by Robert Gragg

Having an experimental knee surgery, a horrible case of the shingles, cancer, and a dangerous staff infection, I know how difficult recoveries can be when you have to go through them all alone. The best recoveries are those that come about because of the efforts of others and I certainly could not have begun; my latest recovery without the unselfish help of others. The health problems in the last two years, gave me a lot of time to think about my life and review it up to this point. After I lost my business and developed the shingles over 25% of my body, the last thing in my mind was to continue as a personal trainer. I tried to end that chapter in my life, and be a fitness consultant or something else. But, while death was not imminent from the cancers and staph infection, it was close enough to look at my mistakes and how I live my life differently. As I struggled to recover, I realized that I love being a recovery specialist. That is my purpose for getting up in the morning. I, also, realized that I could not rebuild my life's purpose and business without the help of others. I have enlisted the help of the SBA and others to guide my restructuring of Recovery Training and build the fabric of the business based on the efforts of "we". In addition, my goal of becoming a NASM Master Trainer is not based on an ego-driven goal, but gives me the opportunity to collaborate with others to make recovery training and acceptable practice in the rehabilitation process.
