AT HOME WITH TODD SHARP
SHARP STUFF
I know it sounds cliché, but I go get in the gym.
I know I don’t look like I spend much time in the
gym. … One of the things I’ve noticed is a lot of
my friends and people that I care about in my
age range, it kind of feels like they’ve given up
in terms of trying to stay fit. ...Once you get to
this stage in life, you kind of feel like all of your
resources, time and energy need to go to your
kids, and I think the truth is (you have to) take
time for yourself – not just your physical health
but your mental health. … You have to find your
motivation. … I really try to remind myself life is
a journey, not a destination and at least I’ve got
another day on that path.
Do you have any resolutions for 2018?
My resolution is to live my truth more every day
and to be less judgmental of others but especially
to be less judgmental of myself.
Of course, Floyds Knobs resident Todd
Sharp was the shining star of “So Sharp,”
a reality show that featured him and the
championship University of Louisville dance
team he’s coached for years when the series
debuted on Lifetime in late July. But these
five faces have garnered a bit (or more) of
the spotlight, too, and offered a quick take
on their respective experiences.

“It was unlike anything I’ve ever done before. It’s supposed to be reality, but it’s hard to be
yourself in front of cameras It takes a little while to want to get in the groove, but overall it was
a good experience. I learned that I’m a lot more introverted and quiet than I thought. I think
it really helped me to communicate better with people. … I think that it was surprising how
natural it all came for Todd and how it was almost like the cameras didn’t affect who he was
and how true he was able to be to himself and how genuine he came across on camera.”
