Trainer of the Month
Coach Marshall
Tell us about yourself!
Hey Kersey’s team. I guess it is finally my turn to share one of these. For those of you who I have not had the privilege of sharing a class with, my name is Marshall. I started my Kersey’s journey alongside my wife, Michelle, about five years ago. Although we both were physically active before Kersey’s, it was nice to find an activity that we could share together. Training together at Kersey’s helped us to be accountable to one another, push each other to reach new goals, and motivate one another to stay consistent. As we continued to train together at Kersey’s we quickly realized how special of a place it was. Every time you walk in the door you are greeted with good energy, a positive attitude, and a smile. We were welcomed into the Kersey’s family and as the years of training continued, we started to grow a little family of our own. In 2023, we welcomed to the world our beautiful daughter Maeve. With any luck, and a little bit of
persuading from her father, she will be perfecting a jab-cross and throwing bows on the bag in no time.
When I’m not training or teaching at Kersey’s I work as an Elementary teacher. Currently I am working just around the corner from our gym at Forest Glade Public School. For the past three years I have been teaching Special Education. It’s exciting, rewarding, challenging, fun, and I love it. Although I know it is important to love what you do, I think it is more important to find things you love to do while you’re not at work. For me, that is spending time outdoors. I love to travel, camp, kayak, and hike. Together, Michelle and I have travelled across most of Canada and hiked in almost every Province. Just this past year we travelled to Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland and carried Maeve 850 meters to the top of Gros Morne Mountain. She slept most of the way…but still took a pretty kick-ass picture at the summit. For me, the outdoors is a place to connect with nature, to forget about the day-today, if only briefly, and to focus on the adventure that waits around us.
You don’t have to travel far to experience some amazing hiking trails that are great for the whole family. In fact, you do not have to travel outside of Windsor-Essex County. Before I wrap things up I wanted to quickly share a couple of those trails that I have explored myself in the past.
The first trail I wanted to share is the Kennedy Woods Picnic Area and Trails located in Kingsville. The trail offers a wide range of trees and plants and travels through a variety of landscapes. There are many different sections to pass through, each of which is clearly labelled with maps and trail signs along the way. If you decide to traverse all sections of the trails you will be fortunate enough to encounter forests, meadows, creeks, a small pond, and even an eagle’s nest. Although at some times in the year the trails may be a bit muddy, they are easy enough for children and adults of all ages to explore.
The next trail I wanted to share is the Big O Conservation Area located in Comber. This is a short loop trail, about 1 km. The trail remains flat for the entire hike and is great for walking, running, biking, or exploring the wildlife. Along the way you will see some small ponds. It is also a great hike to spot some local birds and other wildlife, including snakes (Michelle didn’t like that part). It’s a nice hike to include on a weekend drive or an afternoon out.
That’s all I have for you Kersey’s family. I hope you enjoyed the read and I hope you take the opportunity to explore the trails. I’ll see you all in class!
Remember to enjoy the little things and appreciate the time you have to try new things. Stay strong, be powerful, and keep doing things that make you happy. Peace!
