How to build your coaching business

from Cheeky Mid Weeky

Yo, this episode is FIRE if you're thinking about going private or just starting out as a strength coach. Jeremy Lizama went from the Marine Corps to working with the Arizona Cardinals in the Dominican Republic, then said "screw it" and started his own thing in LA. He breaks down the real stuff nobody talks about - like how to actually negotiate your salary (spoiler: he got them to offer MORE than he asked for), how to survive when you're driving all over the place training athletes at different parks, and why you gotta be willing to move and work for cheap when you're young. No BS here - just practical advice on building culture with athletes, running performance camps that actually make money, and not being scared to chase what you want. $1 Trial Membership to SCN🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/TrialSave on your re-certification to the NSCA and CSCCa with best price CEUs🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/CEUCONNECT: 📷Instagram: / strength_coach_network 🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/📝Blog: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/blog/___From our sponsors: TeamBuildr 🌎Site:https://www.teambuildr.com/enTeamBuildr is a platform for any coach in any setting.
