My name is Stephen Chan, President of the American Boffer Association, and I’m so excited to share Boffer sports with the youth of the Treasure Valley. As a lifelong athlete, I’ve been working in the health and wellness field as a personal fitness trainer since 2012 and have had the pleasure of helping individuals improve their physical fitness and overall health. One of the experiences that I will always remember was working with children in a family chiropractic office. I was told these children all had non-congenital scoliosis, and I watched as the physical activity strengthened these kids and improved their posture, energy and attitudes. When I understood the effect of a sedentary lifestyle on these kids, I knew this was a problem that needed to be tackled.
My goal with the American Boffer Association is to bring a new physical activity that allows for safe contact without compromising the fun. I grew up playing countless hours of videogames, and getting into Boffer sports helped to pull me away from all the screen time. I hope that I can do the same for kids and reduce the amount of screen time in exchange for some great physical exercise and social development.
As a personal trainer, I’ve had the fortune to run a few kids camps which were centered around Boffer sports and the most common question I was asked was “When is the next class?”.
Well, Parents of the Treasure Valley, March 2nd, 2023.
