ABOUT MILIND

My name is Milind and I want to tell you about my journey...

As a child, I’ve always dreamed big, wanted to make something of myself, and make an impact in the lives of others.

When I was 7 years old, my dad signed me up for recreational baseball even though I refused to try it because I knew nothing about it, it seemed pointless, and I detested trying new things.

The first time I played it, I immediately fell in love with the game and from there my passion grew. I started dreaming of playing in the MLB someday.

However, I’ve always faced many failures and setbacks while playing baseball.

The first time I tried out for a travel baseball team it was more of an experiment. I wanted to see where I stood and if I was good enough to make the team. I felt it would be good exposure to play on a travel baseball team.

Unfortunately, I did not make it, but I was not completely surprised. I recognized that I had some weaknesses and I needed to improve. I used the feedback provided from the coaches to improve.

Even after that, I still faced countless rejections from baseball teams. This was hard to take and I was really disappointed. Baseball meant everything to me, and with all the hard work I had put in, the hours I spent sacrificing having fun, the intense training I went through to come this far, I was completely exhausted. It seemed like the world was over to me. 

Rather than give up, I used my setbacks as motivation moving forward. I kept pushing myself in the weight room and paid close attention to what I ate. Grocery shopping would take me an hour longer as I spent extra time closely analyzing every nutrition label, calculating every calorie and macronutrient.

It took me six years to finally make a travel baseball team.

I have also dealt with multiple injuries. This included a fractured cheekbone, a concussion, tendonitis, back strains, a torn common flexor tendon, etc. The list goes on and on.

However, I have not allowed these setbacks to stop me from pursuing my dreams. No matter what obstacle I face, I have learned to come back stronger from it. I have learned how to use failure to my advantage, and how to utilize rejection as motivation and fuel for driving my passion.

My experiences over these years and my passion for helping others,  have led me to creating Purposeful Performance. Over the years, I have gained knowledge on how to prevent such injuries and how to eat properly to achieve several fitness goals, and I would like to share that with you guys. 

I create videos on sports performance, nutrition, and I am committed to creating any content that will serve you guys. I want to help athletes that are lacking resources and want to achieve elite performance. I want to help athletes that are struggling to get to the next level.

I realized early on that when I commit to my vision and pursue it with 100% passion, anything is possible. 

I want you all to know that your dreams matter and that you matter! Never forget that, but also know that you must learn the wisdom, skills, and tools to write your own story and become the person you want to be. 

So start your journey with me, and take your dreams to the next level!
