My early morning sessions with Coach Thomann were a huge part of my 2022. He pushed me to think beyond the “woe is me” attitude I had in my head all revolving around our sweet boy. Pushing past that wall truly helped me see things in a different view. I wish that was something I had as a teen or in college to prep me for life.  100% worth it!
