Click the link in my bio — The Freak Athlete Protocol — to apply for a limited spot. I’m Ian Jenkins — founder of The Freak Athlete Protocol. But before I built this movement, I was just a kid with a stutter, dyslexia, and a chip on my shoulder. School wasn’t easy for me. Reading felt like a battle. Speaking out loud was something I avoided at all costs. I didn’t feel smart. I didn’t feel seen. And even though my parents tried to guide me, I thought I had to do everything on my own. I ignored advice. I chased things for the wrong reasons. And I kept a lot of pain bottled up inside. Eventually, life humbled me. I came home — not just physically, but emotionally. I finally opened up about what I was going through. The struggles. The shame. The frustration. And when I did, everything started to shift. I realized my parents weren’t trying to control me — they were trying to protect me. That lesson hit hard. That moment of honesty cracked something open. I started to listen more. I started to learn. And slowly, I became confident — not because I was perfect, but because I embraced everything that once made me feel broken. Now, I use the same voice I used to hide to coach others, break down swings, and build unshakable belief in the athletes I work with. I created The Freak Athlete Protocol for the kids like me — the ones who don’t feel like they belong, who’ve been underestimated or misunderstood. This isn’t just training. It’s transformation. Because confidence isn’t something you're born with. It’s something you build — through struggle, truth, and showing up when it matters most.
