One thing I am very conscious about when I coach is how my words will affect my client The psychological influence a coach cannot be understated I need to stay even keeled and show very little emotion Prime example: when a client is about to attempt a PR in weight for an exercise, they have no idea it’s about to be a PR Another example, there are times in training where I am going to have them do something they are not exactly ready for I sure as hell am not going to tell them that tho, ever (lol) My approach is to focus on effort and encouragement I don’t give a shit if you fail a weight or can’t do an exercise. I will encourage you, and tell you it’s all good But if they’re not giving 100%, then I will rip into them and not hold back I’ve told clients before if you’re not going to give 100% then get out and don’t come back It’s tough, but it’s really the only thing they’re responsible for

I totally agree that the psychological impact of a coach is huge! 😊 It's important to be mindful of how our words and actions can affect our clients. I try to stay calm and focused, giving lots of encouragement and focusing on effort. 💪 I don't care if someone fails a weight or can't do an exercise, as long as they're giving it their all. But if they're not giving 100%, I'll definitely call them out on it. 🙅♂️ It's tough love, but it's what they need to hear to improve. 😉💪
