Gay boxing and triathlon coach and athlete is happy to be out

A gay multi-sport athlete and coach has shared how coming out positively impacted both his athletic performance and personal confidence. The individual, who has competed in boxing and now participates in 70.3 Half Ironman triathlons and ultra runs, has spent the last 10 years primarily working as a boxing coach while more recently expanding into triathlon and cycling coaching. He credits self-acceptance with helping him overcome the mental challenges of individual sports, noting that as a younger person he had shied away from sports due to not fully accepting himself.
