I was airlifted to a hospital in Durban where the blood was drained from my brain. A very senior specialist arrived to assess my condition. I later learned that his instructions to the medical personnel were as follows.”His condition is very serious but he is young, he is strong and he is in a very good physical condition. Let’s give him a fair chance.”

I was in a coma for 16 days before I was taken into the high care facility. Everyone’s faith, prayers and contributions brought me to where I was transported back to Pretoria to recover in a rehabilitation centre.

I had to learn to sit, walk, talk and eat again. Monique stood by my side all the way. I had to wear diapers and started out just like a baby. It took me several months just to be able to go back to work. My goal was to go back and carry on from where I left off. However, people felt sorry for me and new clients avoided the “retard with barely enough balance to keep himself up” in the gym. I was ashamed of talking to possible new referred clients over the phone as my speech was badly influenced by my brain injury. Now, I was in a better position to show people what their bodies can do if they have the right support and the right mindset. I suffer from brain injuries, causing me to have little balance, walking tip toed, struggling to use my right hand and find it difficult to pronounce certain words.

I decided not to let the situation get me down. I married the love of my life, Monique, and we now have a beautiful little girl. Based on my work and life experience with the human body, I will motivate and help people with whatever they need to accomplish their goals in the health and fitness industry.

I have made a remarkable recovery so far, and I am still working on it every day of my life.

We serve a big God of love, therefore I do everything in His name, because He has given me the strength and will to survive.
