Hi, I’m Andra Wilson….proud mother of Baylor and “soccer wife” to Greg:) SBFitKidz is my new way to inspire children and families to embrace sports, physical activity, and healthy habits.
Growing up I tried so many different sports. Basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, ballet, gymnastics, swimming, softball, tennis, sailing, track and field, surfing, skiing, snowboarding, and even cheerleading (don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it… never been so sore in my life). I finally settled in on field hockey and lacrosse as my main sports in high school and college. I think what groomed me to be a competitive field hockey and lacrosse player was my exposure to so many different kinds of sports as a kid. I was able to take many of the physical and mental skills from those sports and apply them to field hockey and lacrosse, and later to lifetime fitness activities like hiking, running, and stand-up paddling. I even completed a marathon which I never thought would be possible.
My love for sports and physical activity as a child motivated me to strive for a career in athletic training, then teaching physical education. Now I have the opportunity to begin a new career inspiring children to stretch and reach new goals. I am so thankful to have chosen this path in my life.
This blog is full of personal stories, insight, advice, and ideas about having fun, staying active, and enjoying a healthy lifestyle. Hope you enjoy!
