Personal Achievements

Online Fitness Coaching - Instagram

I have launched a dedicated fitness initiative through my Instagram page @antonio_balandi where I regularly share my fitness journey, workout routines, and motivational content. This personal project serves multiple purposes: it's a platform for me to document and track my own progress, an avenue to inspire and engage with a broader audience who are passionate about fitness, and a strategic step towards enhancing my online presence. Through this initiative, I aim to build a community of like-minded individuals, provide valuable insights into effective fitness practices, and foster a supportive environment for everyone striving to achieve their health and wellness goals. This endeavor is a significant aspect of my personal growth, as it allows me to develop content creation skills, deepen my understanding of social media engagement, and contribute positively to the fitness community.

Basketball coach - Team Fly

Here in Portland, Oregon, I've brought my love for basketball and community service to Team Fly. With my background, which includes being a walk-on at Syracuse, I pour my heart into coaching young athletes. It's not just about basketball skills; I'm all about building life skills and character. Seeing these kids grow into more rounded individuals brings me incredible joy. Helping them develop on and off the court is what it's all about for me.

Every practice and game is an opportunity to instill values like teamwork, perseverance, and respect. I believe in leading by example, showing these youngsters the dedication and discipline it takes to succeed both in sports and in life. Off the court, I'm deeply involved in organizing community events and outreach programs, using basketball as a tool to inspire and empower local youth. For me, being a part of Team Fly isn't just about coaching—it's about making a meaningful difference in the lives of these kids and in the community as a whole.
