Building Better Coaches: Inside FMS with Almir Maljević

March 26, 2026 · 1 h 6 min

Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with Almir Maljević—FMS partner in Bosnia, educator, and instructor for FMS courses—who has built a thriving system by doing one thing differently:

He starts with the person, not the program.

From rebuilding his own path after injury…
to realizing strength and power weren’t the missing piece…
to going all-in on screening, systems, and education…

This is a real conversation about what actually works—and what most people get wrong.

You’ll learn:
• Why strength and power aren’t enough
• The moment he realized he needed to “empty the cup”
• How screening changed everything
• Why most coaches skip the most important step
• How to build trust before training
• The difference between being busy vs effective
• Why education—not exercise—is the real value
• How he built a business from zero clients to a scalable system

This isn’t theory.

This is what it looks like when you apply the principles—and stick to them.
