THE NYC LIFE COACH
PROMINENT CLIENTS

When we were kids, we were fearless, happy, unstoppable and we were doing everything for the first time in life, but that never stopped us. We tried and failed, then we tried again and again until we learned how to walk, speak, play and ride the bicycle. While growing up, everything we heard and saw around us has shaped our minds. We develop habits, beliefs, fears, disciplines and learn from both, good and bad experiences, which ultimately are guiding our life.

As adults, we live our lives driven by all those habits, beliefs, fears and experiences. Some teachings are helping us, but some are massive roadblocks. And that is why working with a life coach is so important. A life coach will guide, motivate and inspire you to overcome all the obstacles, fears and beliefs that are stopping you from reaching your goals. Former professional athlete and life coach, Irina Popa-Erwin, will help you to reach your goals, just like sports coaches help athletes to become the best at their game.

Passion, commitment, motivation and action is key to reaching your goals, but you have to never quit; if you can't, then find someone to help you not to quit. Put that someplace you can see it everyday; in the bathroom, in the kitchen, at the office, anywhere where you can see it everyday. The major key to your better future is YOU. Try to remember that every day you live and think about it.

Leadership in business and life is similar with leadership in sports. When you learn how to do the difficult tasks, you’ll need to remember the basics that helped you to get to do the difficult tasks; otherwise, you cannot maintain your performance and reach the next level of success.

Leaders might find themselves following different roles that their family, friends and society taught them, rather than being themselves. In leadership, if you are not authentic by being true to yourself first, you cannot inspire, guide or lead others. People will simply not follow you.

Results always tell the truth. Take a look at your results and ask yourself if you’re happy with them. If not, then a leadership coaching program will help, inspire and guide you to become a better leader.

Personal and professional challenges can negatively affect the top performance of an athlete. Former Professional Multi-Medalist Gymnast, Irina Popa-Erwin and athlete life coach can help you to overcome those challenges and reach the highest levels of performance every single day.

Irina Popa-Erwin has been a professional gymnast for 12 years, from mid 80's to the high 90's. During her 12 years of professional gymnastics, Irina competed at the National and International levels winning nine (9) 1st place titles. In 2005, one year after meeting Jim Rohn, Irina started her Athlete Life Coaching career with a Second League European handball team and its head coach. Shortly after Irina became the team’s official life coach, the handball team started to win almost every game they’ve played. In less than a year that team reached over 15 won games in a row at the National and European level, qualifying for the First League.

In late 2007, Irina took on a challenge with a small USA gymnastics team in South Carolina that has never won a competition and helped the team to win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place titles in less than a year. As a professional athlete, Irina understands what it takes on and off the court, field or gym to maintain an athlete's success and to improve in all aspects of life.

As a former professional athlete, gymnastics coach and successful entrepreneur with a vast business experience nationally and internationally, Irina Popa-Erwin offers personal and professional life coaching services for professional and college athletes, and for retired athletes. Irina knows exactly how it feels to retire from the spot light and not get that cheering anymore. She understands how hard it is to find a purpose after retiring, and how to find it.
