Sage is graduating this Spring, 2021 with a BKin in the interdisciplinary stream. After graduation, Sage plans to become a strength and conditioning coach to help people achieve their fitness goals. “Whether it is rehab after surgery or someone looking to improve their marathon time, I hope I can help them with my knowledge and education.” Sage says, “I have a goal of starting out my own coaching business to help younger athletes (middle/high school) with their strength and conditioning for sport and recreation. The vision is to empower these kids to live active lifestyles while enjoying the benefits of a training program.” Sage also hopes to celebrate this milestone by safely traveling to Europe with his friends once the COVID-19 travel restrictions are lifted.
When asked what drew him to UBC KIN, Sage says, “I have done weightlifting, sports, and training all my life. When given an opportunity to study exercise science, UBC KIN was a no brainer.” Sage reflects on the most important thing he learned in KIN: “How to expand your social circle and talk to new people. I have met so many cool people from KIN that I still stay in touch with. You never know how your network can help you secure a new job, volunteer opportunity, or connect you to another person that may help guide you in your professional and personal life.”
“I hope that I can impact people’s lives in a positive way and inspire them to be better every day! Fitness and coaching is one aspect of doing that in my career goals. I want to leave a legacy where I chase after the goals that make me happy and fulfilled and life.”
