Welcome to Inspire Saratoga!
Jamie Desso is a teacher, and strength coach in the area who found an incredible, and unique way to engage her students that went viral across the country.
It started as an idea to bring a kettlebell into her classroom and share her passion with her students, and eventually led her to teaching her students flows and exercises to energize them for learning, and caught nationwide attention through social media.
In this conversation, I asked Jamie about how this idea came about, what it was like to see a national response, and the benefits she has seen from her students not just in physical exercise, but how it has enhanced their attention and mindset in all areas of school.
