Are You Actually Coachable? | Episode 14 Season 2

Are you a good athlete? Or are you... kind of being a dick? (this seems to be the theme this season!) In this episode, Chris and Rach break down what it actually means to be coachable and why your results are built in the choices you make when your coach ISN'T watching.They cover:Why reading your plan properly matters more than you think (yes, including page two)The difference between negotiating with your coach and just wishful thinkingWhy going silent when things go wrong is a bigger red flag than the screw-up itselfThe three pillars of being a great athlete: open-mindedness, adherence, and communicationWhy feedback is direction, not criticismHow consistency will always beat intensityPlus some very relatable stories about oat milk flat whites, supersets that apparently didn't exist, and athletes who think prep starts "suddenly."Whether you're deep in prep or just starting your season, this one's a must-listen.00:00 Intro01:21 Competition season is kicking off03:07 What coaching actually is (and isn't)04:13 Read your plan properly07:17 What people think coaching is vs what it actually is08:11 Negotiating with your coach10:59 Exercise in prep vs off-season12:26 Overthinking in prep14:18 Signs you might not be ready to prep18:13 Why athletes hide mistakes20:19 The oat milk flat white problem22:12 You can't blame your coach for your choices25:05 Being transparent with your coach26:28 Results aren't purchased, they're earned28:52 Why coaching matters more in bodybuilding30:37 No refund policy on effort33:42 Being open-minded is everything36:37 What separates good athletes from great ones39:28 Just admit it and move forward41:02 Feedback is not personal42:28 Seeking validation vs improvement44:42 Effort, communication, adherence45:01 Don't be a dick.
