We had the good fortune of connecting with bastian Pfannschmidt and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi bastian, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
My thought process was that before setting up my own Crossfit gym I had to become a professional in this discipline, I needed to know each movement perfectly to be able to teach it in the best way to my future clients
My business helps the community with the best we can do as human beings “conscious movement” the impact of playing sports on society is the greatest expression of love for our own being
Taking risks in my business was the key to being able to start with my own gym, I think that if you don’t take risks you can’t know if it will be your thing or not, when I knew that I was mastering the Crossfit sport I felt confident in being able to open my own gym and be able to teach what I was mastering, in my sport it I must risk myself every day to improve myself as a human being and as an athlete, in every training session, from Monday to Saturday
As a father, what can impact my daughters the most is to see their dad do sports and physical activity where they accompany me every day to my gym and imitate the movements I make, they already know how good it feels to be on the move
The most important factor of my success is to be the number one in Chile, which impacts my business in a positive way knowing that they will train with a person who will teach them what is right to be the best.
It’s as simple as if you do what you love you can’t give up, if you’re doing something and it’s not what you love you’ll never achieve success
Work and personal life become a single variant, as an athlete my personal life must be as passive as possible, without problems without mistakes. Every day I have to get up to train and if there are problems in my personal life, my workouts will not be what I want to get
Sport and a healthy life make me happy, getting up every day to train is what I love the most as a human being after my family. When you have a clear goal, even if you have bad days, you know that you must do your best and change that situation by turning all your days into good and peaceful days. It makes me happy to know that I have to achieve what I set out to do since I started doing this sport, which is to get to the Crossfit Games
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My job is to get up every day with the thought that I must train as hard as the day before, where discipline, willpower and perseverance is what differentiates me from other people. I am excited and proud to be able to work in my gym doing what I love every day of the year.
To get where I am today professionally, I had to go through a long life story where almost death caused my brain to react and modify my way of thinking and seeing life, it was not easy and it will never be easy for a person whose life goal is to be a professional of sports or physical activity in a country where what they least care about is to see healthy and healthy people. Challenges will always be overcome if you know that you are doing something with love, love is everything if you love your job everything that comes will be just good news
I want the world to know that if you really have a dream and a life purpose, you must go for it. You don’t know how to start how to start how to start that life risk but you must do it just for the fact that it is what you love and if you do things with love dedication and professionalism it is impossible for remuneration to be negative… The paths towards that goal are given as you move towards the … never stop!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Thanks to my parents and family who trust me and in my life process I was able to be the person I have become of in recent years.
