WHAT IS HAMASA?
HAMASA is an acronym for the people who raised me and the values instilled throughout my life, which I apply to training.
HAMASA = Family = Values
Helen (Grandmother) = Hard Work
If you want something worthwhile or of true value, it requires HARD WORK. The life you want to live, the relationship you want to keep, the career you want to have, the body you want to obtain, the skills you want to develop, all require hard work.
Ann (Mother) = Ambition
“A strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.” If you want something, don’t worry about the result, but rather, plan the process and work hard at it everyday. In due time, you will accomplish your goal.
Marissa (Sister) = Mindset
A self perception that people hold about themselves. Specifically, the growth mindset creates a love for learning and a resilience for developing which leads to constant improvement and a view of challenges and failures as opportunities.
Arthur (Father) = Awareness
The ability to directly know, perceive, or to feel of a situation or fact. Build AWARENESS of what your mind and body can do. UNDERSTAND how your body and mind should move and feel. TAKE ACTION and become stronger each and every day.
Senoj (Sister) = Self
As a coach/trainer, I promote and teach a lot about understanding oneself. Self-respect, self-reflection, Self-love, self-sufficiency, self-improvement, self-motivation, self-discipline, self actualization etc. To be happy in life and to build a legacy, we need to first love and understand ourselves. Message to all: “Do not forget or change who you are. Continue to become a better version of yourself while bringing out the best in others. Continue to lead by example while staying humble and promoting respect. Experience, learn, grow and understand oneSELF.
Arthur (Me) = Accountability
I have been held accountable from multiple areas of my life. From family and friends to my clients, players and organization, they have all indirectly held me to a certain standard to be the best that I can be. Even though it is great to have this type of support and love that holds you to a certain standard in life, there is only one person that should always hold you accountable. That person is YOU! Always be responsible for your actions and aim to be better each and every day. BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHO YOU ARE AND WANT TO BE! DO IT FOR YOU!
