I must tell you, i really love my work. After many years working as a endurance sports coach I still get thrilled with my work. But things are not going so well at the moment.
To be able to explain it to you we must go back a little in time. In Mach 2020, my wife asked for the divorce after a 10 year relationship (my son was turning 3 at the time). If that wasn’t enough it happened just 4 days before the first pandemic lockdown.
In the lockdown as a professional sports coach, altought I worked part time coaching athletes remotly, my presencial activities were ceased for almost 6 months, at the time, physical activities in groups and in gyms were prohibited. This, along with the divorce process, has profoundly affected my income.
It was a hard period, which I was only able to recover by having obtained a financial aid from the government that allowed me to survive during the period.
The problem is, my business situation hasn’t improved much after the relaxation of covid restrictions. My clients look to me to help them in the preparation of sporting events such as triathlons, marathons and mountain bike races, as sporting events were banned for almost a year (returning only in mid-2021), the situation has not improved much.
Today, my company’s is still not profitable and the payment installments of financial aid began to be charged. This forced me to look for an alternative to supplement my income and made me turn my attention to programming. But I’ll tell you more about this in the next post!
