#80 - How to Maximise Your Coaching Experience

from The Larry Doyle Coaching Podcast Hosted by Larry Doyle

Most people do not avoid coaching because they hate training. They avoid it because they think they will fail at it. We get that, and we have heard every version of it: “I don’t have time”, “I won’t be perfect”, “I’ll mess up the plan”, “I need more willpower”. Larry and co-host Daniel sit down to explain what being a client should actually look like when coaching is done properly: flexible, individual, and built around real life rather than an online avatar. We talk about why you are not meant to fit someone else’s mould, and why a quality coach does the opposite: they shape the process around your schedule, your preferences, your stress, and your goals. That means check-ins are not a judgement day. The good weeks are fine, but the rough weeks are where the real coaching happens, because they show what needs to change in your environment, your routines, and your expectations. We also draw a clear line between coaching and therapy, while still showing how empathy, rapport, and lived experience can help people open up and get unstuck. You will hear practical mindset shifts for sustainable fat loss and fitness results, including how to think about willpower as systems, how to escape the Instagram perfection trap, and why progress with binge eating behaviour often starts with reducing frequency rather than demanding instant perfection. The goal is long-term autonomy, not dependence, so you understand your own habits, you ask better questions, and you can keep moving forward even when life gets messy. If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with a mate who feels “behind”, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What is the biggest worry that stops you from getting support, time, willpower, or fear of getting it wrong?
