Who is Timmy?

Hey I'm Timmy

I am now 20 years old. Over the past 2 years I have become obsessed with self-improvement. not only  myself, but also for the people around me. it seemed like the more I started working on myself, the more people joined me, but I also met new people. Retro7 is a way for me to show who I am, what I do, to help and inspire other people. I have 8 years of experience as a coach, including 1 year as personal coach in the field of Mental Health and Self Improvement. I give people an opportunity to work on themselves and give support when things get difficult.

Before I was a coach my life was totally different. At a young age I was stuck in a depression and I slept all day long, I only woke up at night to play video games. I wasn't able to go to school  because I needed to stay at home to get better. I only woke up at Fridays so I can go to my freerunning lessons. But my body couldn't handle it because of my life style, and I almost passed out. From that moment I knew something had to change, and my teacher gave me the opportunity to be an assistant coach. As long as I started to get out of bed sooner, and eat better. that was the agreement. I liked to help other people, and it made me feel better. The relationship with my parents wasn't that good at the moment, so when I was home I still had some difficult time. For a moment I had to get out out of the house, so I needed a place to life. I was placed at a youth center for a week, but my best friend (Troy Co-founder Retro7) asked his parents if I can life at their place. He went from my friend to my brother, and I became part of the family.

From that moment my life started to get better, and slowly the relationship with my parents became even better too. Eventually I had an awesome girlfriend, I gave parkour lessons everyday, and I made awesome friends in the parkour community. I really did find my place with them. then when I turned 18 me and my girlfriend broke up, so that was another life changer. but in exchange with that I bought my first car, I got my first apartment with my best friend, and I became the head coach of my first parkour academy. From that moment I started to work on new habits like: eating better, lifting weights, Meditating, reading, writing,  and eventually me and Troy came up with Retro7.

It started as a clothing brand with some cool shirts with a story related to our lifes. But me and Troy think we can be so much more than that. Retro7 is a way to express ourself, but more important to help the people who need to been seen, and given the opportunity to prove themselves.
