Enter my $26,750 Giveaway and win a 2 hour private in service with Charlie Weingroff for your team: https://vinceshugegiveaway.com/Charlie Weingroff is one of the most respected physical therapists and strength coaches on the planet. He has trained pro athletes, military operators, and some of the best coaches in the world for the last 25 years. I have known Charlie for 15 years and he is one of my closest friends in this industry, which is why he agreed to be one of the headline contributions to the $26,750 Giveaway I am running right now.On this episode Charlie tells me how he built a career at the top of two professions that rarely overlap, why most strength coaches stop short of becoming great, and what fitness business owners can take from how he runs his own work. He also explains why he was ready to book a flight and fly to New Jersey just to record this podcast in person, and what that one decision says about doing things at a certain standard.At the end we get into the story of how Charlie diagnosed Tom Leonardis' serious back injury inside of 15 minutes, just by playing with his toes and checking his foot, before any MRI was taken. That is the kind of operator Charlie is. If you have a team and you want one of the best in the world to spend 2 hours with them privately, this giveaway is the way to get it.5 Key Takeaways:The standard is the standard. Charlie was ready to book a flight and fly to New Jersey just to record this podcast in person. He told me his win is my win, and if he is going to do something at all he is going to do it at a certain level. Most gym owners say they value standards. Few hold them like this.There is no championship belt for being a great coach. Charlie has trained pro athletes, military operators, and elite lifters for over two decades. When I brought up his reputation he said until there is a belt for it he is not worried about it. He just wants to work, train, and go to Disney whenever he wants. Define what winning actually looks like for you and stop chasing the validation that comes with the title.Expertise compounds when you stay in the work. Charlie did not get great from a course or a certification. He got great from putting his hands on thousands of people across two and a half decades. The owners who build the deepest expertise are the ones who stop bouncing between methods and stay in the work long enough for it to actually compound.Good, better, and best exists in every profession. Charlie made the point that good physical therapists and chiropractors are out there, but the ones who are truly elite are typically much harder to access. The same is true in fitness. The way to get to the right side of good, better, and best is to study the people who are already there.One 15 minute conversation can save you months of guessing. Tom drove down to see Charlie about back pain he could not solve on his own. In 15 minutes Charlie diagnosed L4 L5 just by checking Tom's toes and foot, and the MRI later confirmed it verbatim. Find the people who can shortcut your problem instead of grinding through it alone. That is what investing in real expertise looks like.Enter my $26,750 Giveaway and win a 2 hour private in service with Charlie Weingroff for your team: https://vinceshugegiveaway.com/
