Today we’d like to introduce you to Kiara Parker.
Hi Kiara, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
I have been working on my speed for most of my life. I started running track when I was 6 years old and although I played every other sport from volleyball to soccer, track and field was the one sport that I kept coming back to. So now with my knowledge of not only track but with all of the other sports, I’ve learned that running is the basis of every sport, and I am trying to help kids and adults with their speed, endurance, and running form. I am trained and certified in speed development, weight loss, and muscle gain. Since I moved to Florida a little over a year ago, I have realized my love for kids and how I want them to have as many opportunities as possible to get as far as they want to in their sport, which is why my main focus is kids in the developmental stage so they will have all the tools they need in the future, but I love to see the changes in any person that is working with me.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t been all peaches and roses, but it has been a path of many battles. Dealing with coaches who don’t know much about running or form, whether it be in the weight room or on the field, some coaches don’t care about how it looks as long as it gets done. I have realized over the many years that I don’t want to be one of those coaches. I want to gain as much knowledge from the professionals and the people who actually know what they are doing so I can then help people learn what I learned ten times faster.
I personally have been through many injuries and trials and tribulations, and I want people to learn from my mistakes, so they won’t make the same mistakes I did, especially in college.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I like to say that I am a jack of all trades. I am an athlete who sings, designs clothes, and trains people of all ages. I specialize in speed endurance and development online and in person. I am known for track and field. I am a World Championship Medalist in professional track and field athlete who runs for Asics. I have over 20 years of experience and I have learned and gained so much information over this time; I want to spread my knowledge to anyone who wants to learn. What sets me apart from others is that I am my own product; I know it works because I’ve been through it, and I can guarantee changes in the first session.
What do you think about happiness?
Sports and music makes me happy. I have been so in tuned with both of them my entire life and they have just been a part of me. When I am involved with either, I feel like nothing in the world matters besides this. Mostly it’s running and a runner’s high is very real. It will give you a new insight on what you are stressed about, it’ll give you some creative flow, there are no negatives when it comes to running, in my opinion.
