Congratulations to CST Coach Candidate Bao Tran

[Scott Sonnon]

Bao has been with us for quite a while now, since right before Softwork in 2004. He was the first professional CST Instructor making his living from teaching CST, especially impressive considering he's doing so in the highly competitive atmosphere of New York City.

That Staff met with Bao this past weekend and invited him to the challenge of testing for CST Coach. This is an extremely challenging and rigorous self-examination which requires one to overcome the most difficult of personal and professional obstacles. We actually open the invitation to candidates, but we strongly discourage them from accepting, because there are only a deeper understanding of the CST ocean, and greater service (responsibility) to others as the rewards. That Bao would be up to this selfless personal and professional journey is impressive enough.

The exams endure for three months, so please show him your support.

Expect great things from Bao, because he already is doing them. But in the future, you will rapidly see this young man change the face of physical culture.

Brother, we believe in you.

in my ignorance, a few months ago, I posted that you could always create something and publish it through RMAX...
WHAT DID I SAY?
HMMM...??
See, I always knew you had the seed of greatness in you!

When are you going to work on that Child Rearing for Mental Toughness project you where talking about at breakfast? :lol:

Bao, congratulations! I know that you will succeed in this new challenge. I look forward to my next session with you. Each session that we have together you continually challenge and lead me to a new understanding of CST!

[Coach Tran]

Dave,

I think I need mental toughness if I was ever blessed with a child. :lol:

Cole,

Thanks for your support. I look foward in training you and getting you ready for Kappa. You will be the second man I have prepared for a CST seminar. Smart choice. I want you to be ahead of the curve at the seminar and we have lots to work on and I cannot wait to get you started, bro.

Jason,

The man you met at Softwork is not the same man today. :wink: Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Yours in CST,
Bao
