What to Look For in A Coach

Send a textIt's easier than ever to scroll through an endless feed of fitness enthusiasts and coaches.  But how are you supposed to know which ones are right for you?It might take a little research.  And by "research" I mean the contemporary definition of scrolling social media.  But, these points can help you get pointed in the right direction.1. Do you relate to their fitness interests AND their lifestyle?  They might do the thing you like, but are they living in an artificial existence with 3-hour workouts and a 4-hour morning routine?2. Are they actually a coach, or just a compilation of motivational quotes wrapped in athleisure wear?  Is there some steak in there, or just some IG sizzle?3.  Are they based in methods or principles?  Are they unable to stray from one piece of equipment or training style, or are they a principle-based coach who will use whatever tool is best for the job?4. The best coaches WILL NOT be the least expensive.  Chances are you have 3-5 active subscriptions at the moment between entertainment, hobby, and necessity.  Fitness is one of the only investments with a guaranteed return if you invest wisely.  And that doesn't mean playing the penny stocks of the coaching world.Join me next episode for the start of our TED Talk style of the podcast where I turn the show over to a guest host and hear directly from them.Support the showAffiliate links:Rescue1CBD Use code TAILBOARD for 15% off Frontline Optics use code TAILBOARD for 15% offFourth Frontier.com Use code FFTailboard for 25% discount on the X2 strapAthletic Brewing- Code TTFP10Submit topics/request guests Thank you for listening and let's all keep working to be more capable and durable both on shift and away from it.
