I AM ANDREW WEINGART
and I believe we all have something special inside of us—something that makes us stand out. Whether it’s on the field, the court, or in life, we all bring our own unique strengths to the table. But sometimes, certain experiences leave a lasting impact. They can either help us grow or make us feel like we're not at our best. The challenge is when we let the past hold us back. The key is to not let those past moments block the best of you.
HOW IT ALL STARTED...
​
I was 12 years old, stuck in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with a severe case of Lyme Disease. I had double vision for weeks and headaches so bad they brought me to tears. During that tough time, my classmates sent me a big "Get Well Soon!" card—a kind gesture that meant a lot. But everything changed when I read a hurtful message on it. It took a piece of my soul. I felt weak, lost, and like I wasn’t myself anymore. I struggled with fear, constantly thinking everyone was watching and judging me. From that day on, I stopped being the confident person I once was.
TRAUMAS PILED HIGH
In high school, I was doing well academically and athletically, but behind the scenes, things were tough. A chaotic home life, parental divorce, misaligned friendships, and heartbreak took a toll on my mental and emotional health. Sports injuries also started affecting my body. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I got older, I felt the effects more. By age 25, I finally hit a breaking point. The weight of everything had broken me down, and I knew I had to take action before things got worse.
WHEN THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY
It all started with a simple decision: to be willing. Willing to believe it was possible to overcome depression, anxiety, and stress. Willing to trust that if I focused on it, I could overcome my physical, mental, and emotional struggles. I wanted to reclaim my strength and live the life I deserved. As I began to explore deeper, I started to feel like myself again. The more committed and patient I was with myself, the more I rebuilt my confidence. Eventually, life felt easier and way more enjoyable!
WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY, THE TEACHER WILL APPEAR
After deciding to take action in my life, I began practicing yoga to ease my physical pain. Each day, I noticed my body improving, but what surprised me was how much my depression, anxiety, and stress also began to fade. As I kept searching for answers, things just seemed to fall into place. Eventually, I met one of my most influential teachers, Andrey Lappa. His words resonated so deeply with me that they brought me to tears. In that moment, I knew I had found what I’d been seeking—the path to unlocking my full potential.
GOING INWARD
From that moment, I committed fully to my self-development, earning two 200-hour teacher certifications and completing over 1,000 hours of training. My teacher, driven to help me reach my full potential, invited me to his monastery in Nepal. There, I spent four months immersed in eight hours of meditation a day, working through my traumas and honing my mind, body, and soul. It became clear to me that my next step was to dedicate myself to teaching others how to elevate their performance and unlock their greatest potential.
BREAKTHROUGH!
My passion for personal development only grew stronger as I went through a leadership training to further develop myself, never expecting how much it would transform my ability to lead my own life. It had such a profound impact that I was able to heal important relationships, like the ones with my mother, father, and brother. Since family and relationships mean a lot to me, I decided to take it a step further and became a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) coach. My goal was to help others break through their own barriers and create their best life, not just in one area, but in all aspects—holistically.
