Feeling self doubt is normal, but you don't have to give in to those thoughts. You are more than capable of achieving anything around you.

I'm not going to lie, this was probably the most difficult certifcation I've gotten to date. If you've studied for NASM Certified Personal Trainer and/or taken the exam, you will know that NASM is a very difficult cert to obtain with only a 60-64% pass rate. Well, shooting for the Master Trainer certification is 10x harder. I had a lot of doubt and questioned myself and abilities from the very start of submitting my application for the Master Trainer program. Yes, I fit the checkbox criteria that they wanted in a candidate, but you always question if you are ready for something like this.

Anyway, I submitted my application thinking "What do I have to lose?" I got an e-mail back telling me that I've been considered, but have to submit my resume, an essay and provide letters of recommendation from clients on why I should be considered for this role. That was nerve-wracking, but I have worked with some amazing clients, some on-going for years, and they were happy to provide these letters for me. I felt very grateful in having so many people that I've helped in my career, and these same clients valued me and spent the time in their busy schedules to write such beautiful letters for me. I think their letters are what got me accepted into the program. And yes, I was super excited, but also super nervous when I got that call that I'm ready to move forward to that next step.
