Nov 17, 2022

Collaborative Coaching

Program a machine but coach a human.

  • The client is ultimately responsible for their own success; however, you are responsible for their willingness to act.
  • The client is your greatest asset for programming. Allow them to literally tell you what to do.
  • Design customized programs using a collaborative approach – a principles-driven perspective married to the uniqueness of the client.

 

Who Is Really In Control?

Personal training and online coaching can feel very transactional at times – especially when there is a preconceived power imbalance between the coach and client. The reality is that despite you being paid money to tell someone what to do – they can ultimately say no, however rare that may occur. While you appear to be in the driver’s seat, the client truly holds all the cards when it comes to the coach-client relationship.

CONSTRAINTS ARE THE CURE

Nov 03, 2022

Constraints are the Cure:

Overcoming paralysis by analysis for new trainers.

By Abdurahmaan Saloojee 

Abdurahmaan Saloojee is a personal trainer from Ottawa, Canada. He enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with cats.

 

Summary Points:

  • One of the best cures for paralysis by analysis is constraints
  • Understand programming concepts like frequency, exercise order, and exercise selection makes it a lot easier to program
