OUR MOTIVATION
THIS IS OUR STORY
Do you want your work to make a difference? How would you like to play a key part in bringing consumer-driven sports, news, and community to the masses? Are you interested in technologies involving content management, boards/blogs, e-commerce, social networking.
POWERING U was founded in 2015 to inspire and to enlighten people who are on a personal journey. With that in mind, we decided to create a platform to share the stories of great athletes and the things that motivate them.
When it comes to MOTIVATION, athletes have been trained to push themselves to another level; leaders are trained to find what motivates a team, and personal motivators drive individuals. But HOW did they get there? POWERING U is a PLATFORM for those stories to be told and shared.
You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It’s a muscle; you can build it up, and then draw on it when you need it.
