Hi, I am JV Marron, Owner and Head Coach at Level Up! Health & Fitness Coaching. I decided to get into coaching after a terrible motorcycle accident in 2016. I was lucky to live through that day, but I didn’t come out of it unscathed. My left leg was crushed and required immediate emergency surgery. I knew when I woke up the next day I had a long road to recovery but I didn’t know how hard it would actually be. I was an active Obstacle Course Racer at that point and I cannot tell you how many people’s first response to my condition was “Guess you won’t be doing OCR anymore” or something to that affect. None of them had ill intention, but that negative response took its toll.
Thankfully I am extremely stubborn and I was fortunate to have a surgeon who supported my attempts to get back into doing what I loved and less then 6 months later I was back on the course conquering a Spartan Beast! Even though I was able to come back to what I love, I did have to learn that things would be different and I had to adjust.
I got to thinking and realized how many others never recover after a traumatic experience (whether it be physical or emotional) because they hear those negative comments from loved ones and more so because they just have no idea where to turn.
My goal of helping others come back from trauma was the catalyst for my coaching career and there is no feeling I love more than helping someone realize they can do anything they want to do if they are willing to put in the work.
