Dream big, live your life & always embrace the grind - it is the place where you reveal who you really are... Sonny Kalar MSc |
Welcome & I hope I find you in the very best of health.
Working/Coaching
I have been working full time for over 28 years now in a rewarding profession & I enjoy the challenges my job offers me.
At the same time, I have also been studying for a Masters Degree in Risk & Crisis management & I am pleased to say that I have now successfully passed.
I am hoping that this additional qualification will prove invaluable to me in my future career choices when I retire from my current job in a couple of years.
Whilst my full time job keeps me busy enough, I am extremely passionate about my coaching business as you will see if you book me for a session.
My thirst for coaching is borne from a desire to pass on my knowledge & experience whilst helping others to succeed in their lives & help them achieve their goals & the litmus test for me on a personal level has been surviving a life threatening illness. Just think double pneumonia, severe blood poisoning, lung pleurisy, MRSA, multiple-organ failure, type 2 respiratory failure, CRP levels at 580 with anything over 200 considered fatal. This was all at the same time in 1 brutal & painful sitting for 5 tumultuous weeks in hospital where I was even put in a side room to die & you get the gist that things were tricky. When the doctor says that you are a miracle to have survived & that no-one with the illnesses that I had along with CRP levels that high gets out alive, you feel blessed. With the doctors also telling me that it was years of playing high level sports (squash) that saved my life as my heart refused to give out along with my absolute refusal to throw the towel in no matter how precarious things had become. I had dug deep mentally and despite losing 3 stones, being on full oxygen and not having eaten for weeks I nevertheless fought back with every vestige of strength and mental fortitude I could muster and it worked. The doctors remained incredulous with my survival & later gave me a printout of my CRP scores for posterity & a badge of purpose as I moved forward with my life & I am happy I can hit a squash ball again & maintain good health.
This & other such experiences have taught me that nothing is certain in life & it is not what happens to you, but what you do about it that defines you & my desiderata below exemplifies my thoughts;
Live your life & when it is all said & done, have the knowledge that YOU gave it everything you had with full-fat passion, true dedication, burning desire & a bruised up, worn out heart that was honourable until the end.
Be an amazing friend - the very best you can get & live your life with total commitment.
Always stay prepared & seek out opportunities, take the risks, develop your character & build the memories.
Keep nourishing your mind with knowledge, understand the wonder of nutrition, learn breathing exercises & find time to travel to every far-flung corner of the world.
Always wear your heart on your sleeve, speak your mind, stand firm in your beliefs, live with a good moral compass & never be afraid of anyone.
Do your very best to stay positive & don't dwell on the past too long as relationships, love, friends, work, position, money & emotions will all ebb & flow, so learn to adapt & evolve when it changes. After all, nothing lasts forever, so live it up, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take the chances & never have any regrets because at one point everything you ever did was exactly what you wanted.
Finally, as depicted in my life mantra - You are never out of the fight - so never give up!
My coaching business
Kung Fu - I have been teaching Martial Arts for over 25 years & in that time I have earned several black belts including a 2nd Degree in WT Kung Fu & therefore bring a swathe of experience to my training sessions & as such I am well versed in helping you achieve your training goals quickly.
I am available for private training.
Squash training & sponsorship - Dylan is sponsored by DUNLOP Sports which is fantastic & on top of this we are also seeking additional Squash Sponsorship for Dylan, Danni & Jasmin who have all been very successful in winning a multitude of tournaments across the UK.
I have exclusively coached them since they were young & they have achieved top 10 ranking in the UK across different age categories (with Dylan achieving Number 1). They have also won numerous County & National titles between them with Jasmin now competing professionally on the PSA circuit. They all have the desire to play Professionally in the future & I have every confidence that they will be successful.
I am available for Squash coaching.
Books - I have written & published 20 books including the bestseller - Masala Wedding & others that are selling very well. You can find more details under Books.
They are available to purchase via Amazon.
11+ assistance - I have successfully helped ALL of my kids pass their 11+ entrance exams through teaching them myself from home. I devised a system that helped them record some of the highest marks for their area & secure their Grammar school places.
I am available for 11+ guidance from my experience in home tutoring.
I am available to be contacted at - sonnykalar@hotmail.com.

Something different
Gameshows I managed to eke my way through gruelling auditions to make it on to several Gameshows including; the world famous Total Wipeout where we filmed in Argentina in a once in a lifetime trip, Fortune with Davina McCall, Exit List with Matt Allwright & the New Blockbusters with Simon Mayo where I WON the 1st ever Gold Run with 1 second to spare - PHEW! What unforgettable memories! |
