Ep. 007: Sacrificing a Dream to Chase A Bigger One w/ Tyler Leclerc
In episode 007, I’m joined by Massachusetts-based basketball development trainer, Tyler Leclerc. Tyler is the owner and founder of TJL Training, which is not only his training business, but a brick-and-mortar facility location located in Lowell, MA.
Tyler works with athletes from youth to pro, and has a unique & inspiring career path that he details throughout the episode. As a high school athlete, Tyler actually began his training career in the midst of his own athletic career. He’d train his teammates, friends and other athletes in the area growing up.
After a year of college hoops at Salem State, Tyler decided to walk away from his longtime dream of playing college basketball to chase down an even bigger dream, which is his current training career.
Thanks to that decision, Tyler already has several years of valuable experience under his belt, a flagship gym location, several online courses & resources, dozens of hosted camps & clinics and a continually growing powerful social media presence. In this episode, Tyler and I discuss his though process during making the decision to stop playing and start training full-time after his freshman year.
We also talk training, skill acquisition, business, entrepreneurship and - of course - I throw him on the hot seat at the end with some random questions that had him shook!
This is a great episode, especially for coaches, trainers and entrepreneurial-minded listeners. You’ll walk away glad you listened and inspire to go after your dreams no matter the circumstances.
Make sure you tap in with Tyler at TJL Training, you can use his website to navigate to all social media platforms!
