Today we’d like to introduce you to David Miguens.
Hi David, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
So, how can I tell you my story?! Let me start to tell you how I get involved with the sports in first place. I was a little bit chubby in a kid so logical my other school colleagues bullied me a little, not a severe case, but a little. And that somehow get into my head, and when I had the age enough to put myself in a gym I put. I start to swim too, on a competitive way. When I was 16, I was one of the most athletic guys on my school, I turned addicted to surpass my own limits.
One important thing that I want to pass, I had everything to let me go down, but I took in all that shame and bully pressure and reacted to show how they are wrong. So if you are in the same position, don’t let them define you, or get into your head, react! not in anger or in a violent way, but surpass yourself, and show them how wrong they was.
Here I Was? Oh yes, I became addicted to surpass myself, so with the age of 19, after finishing the higher school, I joined the Marines to become an Officer of the Portuguese Marines and took a degree in Sports. After that degree, I became responsible of the physical education on my platoon. That was the first time I had contact with teach someone.
During my Tour into the Marines, I contact with management and the art of managing more than 150 military personal, so I did another degree, this time a Master’s Degree on Management, and after that a post-graduation in Finance. Yes, I’m addicted not only in surpass me physically but mentally too.
And was with that premise that I found this Brand “Evolution Season”, to help people to surpass their self, give them more confidence, and do what they couldn’t think that was possible.
I found this brand when I finished my seven years tour in the Marines and when I became a Personal Trainer.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Struggles is my middle name…Ahahah. Of course that I had struggles, I think don’t exist one single road that was smooth.
I already said that I went to the Marines, what I don’t say often is that on the first attempt I give up on the instruction fase.
I felt horrible for giving up, so I went one more time, one year after, and guess what? It was much more difficult because the instructors saw me quit the first time, and they squeezed me hard the second time.
But this time, I went till the end and I did it, and I promised to myself to never quit over a thing that I want, and if I want it, I will go as hard as I can to achieve it. And for now, try to live on that mantra.
This much to said that with “Evolution Season” I had some (a lot) struggles too, in Portugal the Personal Trainer area is not an easy area. People have mistrust on the professional of this area, and sports and physical education are not evolved here as in América for example. But with resilience a patient you could get some clients, and there enter your personal brand.
My next Challenge is to launch my own clothing line and nutrition line too. Because like I said earlier, I like to challenge me, so I will try to expand the Brand to another branches.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Evolution Season?
My Business, so far, is to help people surpass their goals and help them to achieve o good physical. Not in bodybuilding way, but in a way that could run, squat, bench, play with their kids with zero pain or any physical limitations.
And for provide them the best help that I can do, I work in collaboration with a nutritionist (Mariana) and with a training app (westriveapp). Mariana provided me the nutrition part to all my clients to help them eat better (because we are what we eat), my work would be much more difficult without her.
The westrive app is an incredible app that allows me periodize the trainings off my clients by weeks, and so do micro and macro cycles of training, and a lot off another other tracks, that allows me to reach other clients even if they are far or in another town.
I specialize in performance, weight loss, knee and shoulder injuries, and I’m known by my temper (bad, ahahah), I don’t like excuses and I’m demanding.
I would like to say that the professionalism was the thing that set me apart from others, but that possible was a little bit cliche, the experience in the Marines, the way I relate with people probably are the things that set me apart from others.
My brand is synonymous of hard work and commitment, and I offer personal training solutions (presencial or online), training plans, nutrition plans, and soon (I hope) my own line of supplements and clothes.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Nope. Just I hope to see all of you someday!
