Daily Inspiration: Meet Katlynn “Coach Kat” Lecei

Today we’d like to introduce you to Katlynn “Coach Kat” Lecei

Hi Coach Kat, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have always loved taking pictures and creating memorable content! My kids were my first subjects, and I enjoyed capturing special moments of them. I was given an amazing opportunity in 2022 to Coach athletes at the All-Star Cheer gym that my children attended (I was an All-Star competitive Cheerleader for 9 years). While at my kids’ and teams’ competitions I would capture action shots and any moments that seemed special. Soon after, I was promoted to Marketing Manager for the gym and began my content creation journey! I fell in love with creating awesome videos and informational graphics, flyers, social media posts, brochures and a ton more! I was let go from that position, but I didn’t let that stop me! I decided to take my skills out into the world and have become a certified and insured individual tumble and acro Coach. I have established my own Photography Business as well! And on top of that I offer services helping business owners grow their social media visibility. And that’s how my business name was born. Coach Kat Content Creation & Photography.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I would say I am blessed to have a HUGE support system behind me! The roughest part was being let go from the job I poured my heart into, but grateful to have lost that job. Had I not lost that job I wouldn’t have found my true strength in my skills to make others and myself shine! A lot of times, I asked myself, “Is this really worth it? Am I worth it?”. It is and I am! I’m not looking for smooth though. I want it to be hard and I want to earn everything I get out of this journey!

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am known for my positive outlook and motivating others. It’s what coaches do. A lot of times in youth sports, these kids are put through some tough situations and most coaches send them to their parents to get through the hard times, which ultimately puts stress on the family as a whole. I have a different approach. I use my graphics, my photography, and my social skills to teach athletes how to set a healthy mindset that will take them to the top. In my lessons with athletes, we use the book I created called “The Grind – Performance Tracker for Athletes” to mentally prep them for their lessons and to review their struggles and work through them! For Photography, my positive vibes and goofy attitude creates the best environment to capture special moments for anyone involved in my photo sessions. People can feel the motivation radiate through my content. I use music with meaning in my videos, I use graphics that pop and keep viewers engaged. As an author, I aim to reach youth athletes and their parents to create a generation of mentally strong and skilled individuals that will carry on my vision to the next generations.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Building any community I am involved in. I want my kids and all kids to grow up without their parents’ and grandparents’ struggles and traumas. To keep their mental health intact. I want to show the adults that it’s never too late to make a mindset shift and gain success from it! A strong community will lead to a successful community and that’s something I want to be a part of and help create!
