Ian King changed the way I thought about how I did business.
I’ve always loved working, making money and I have especially enjoyed helping others learn what I know. Ian made all of this easier and more enjoyable once I learned what he had to offer.
It was not long after I had my son in 1999 that a friend of mine told me about Ian and the work he had been doing in the training world. “You gotta check this guy out Ange.” I was so glad I listened.
But Ian was not just a physical preparation coach. Ian was a business person who wanted to teach me and others how to effectively run my business. He wanted to teach each of us how to grow our business, how to understand the importance of trying to work differently and not just harder and it was Ian that drove home the idea that coaches fail to plan for their futures. I knew this better than anyone. I had been married to a coach for more than 10 years at that time.
I was in an unusual situation in that I was probably already more knowledgeable about training than the vast majority of people I might run across. Having knowledge is very important in anything but Ian effectively taught myself and others how best to make others learn what I already knew. Just because you know something does not mean you know how to effectively teach others.
Ian was the first person I had met that taught me how to think about leveraging myself and the business my husband and I had been building. I had already been wanting to start a website and I was getting pushed to get this done by the same person who had originally told me about Ian. Ian encouraged both of us that we were on the right track.
I am looking forward to reconnecting with Ian, his wife and his family.
if you are in the health, wellness, fitness and or training business, I highly encourage you to take some time and check out what King Sport International has to offer you and your business.
I hope to see you there.
Ange
FYI This 2 day course will be a Level 1 , offered by Ian himself and supported by online material.

To say signing up for Ian King and KSI’s 3 Day Bootcamp in 2000 would be a major understatement. I had no idea how profound a change I was about undergo. I expected to learn more about being a athletic prep coach. I learned so much more than I ever expected. Ian pushed us all to think differently in pretty much every area involved in a business. He showed us how to market ourselves as professionals, how to earn more money plying our craft, and how to have an exit strategy from the industry. It was a massive paradigm shift in my life. I learned how to stop trading “time for dollars”. I also had an opportunity to meet other coaches from Canada and the USA. I had the surprise of meeting Angela on that weekend. I later had dinner with her husband, the legendary Charlie Francis. I still apply many lessons I learned from both Ian and Charlie. Although I don’t see Ian in person, he has made an indelible mark on my life. I highly recommend attending his Toronto Bootcamp. You will not be disappointed. Ian always under promises and over delivers.
