Today we’d like to introduce you to DeAndre Young.
DeAndre, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was a football player who always worked out and enjoyed it. I was an undecided major and my pop warner football coach suggested I become a trainer since I love working out so much. Once I finished my football career in college. I started training college and NFL players that I knew. A good friend of mine (Cleveland Browns’ linebacker) Christian Kirksey suggested I move to a bigger city to generate more revenue for training. That’s when I moved to Dallas five months ago.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has not been a smooth road. It started off very slow. Didn’t have many clients. People would say no or they would train for several weeks. They’d stop because of financial issues.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I am a personal trainer and sports performance coach. I specialize in helping individuals lose body fat, lose weight, gain muscle, and live a healthy lifestyle. I help athletes become faster, stronger, explosive, quick, and a better athlete. What sets me apart from others is that I train everyone like an athlete!
What were you like growing up?
I was quiet and to myself. I was a homebody. I really enjoyed music a lot. I was obsessed with football and didn’t really care about anything else.
