Stop Parroting Influencers: Why Coaches Can't Think for Themselves...
Notas do episódio
Personal Trainer & Online Coaches... listen and watch...
In this episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom dive deep into the state of the fitness industry, specifically why so many running coaches and fitness professionals are failing their clients with pretty poor strength training.
We discuss the "GPP" (General Physical Preparation) gap and why lifting heavy tin is non-negotiable for athletes... even if you’re just a hobbyist hitting the gym to get fit.
We also tackle the "Melt Phone Culture" at live events and a very serious debate on the best way to cook a potato (spoiler: Fondant vs. Dauphinoise is a heated battle).
If you want to build a successful online coaching business, you need to stop parroting influencers and start developing critical thinking.
We talk about finding your niche, holding a strong coaching belief, and why "it depends" is often just an excuse for not having a plan.
