What does it take to transform from a non-athletic kid into a dedicated Muay Thai coach?
According to Jocelyn Bolduc, it involves a lot of perseverance, passion, and an unexpected turn of events. This episode features Jocelyn's extraordinary journey from being inspired by action movies to stepping into the ring, experiencing both thrilling victories and crushing defeats. His insightful reflections on competitive spirit and an unforeseen concussion that led him to discover his calling in coaching are sure to captivate and inspire our listeners.
Jocelyn's story takes a poignant turn as he discusses his battle with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), an autoimmune condition that brings its own set of challenges. He recounts how a trip to Thailand underscored the significance of stress management and rest in alleviating AS symptoms.

A rich trove of practical advice comes in the final segment as we explore the lifestyle changes Jocelyn has made to manage his condition. We delve into the empowering concept that while pain is unavoidable, suffering is optional, highlighting the immense power of mindset. This episode isn't just about overcoming physical pain—it's a celebration of resilience, the human spirit, and the transformative power of coaching and community.
