“Process lies not in enhancing what is, but advancing toward what will be” best of luck to all Canadian prospects.

I don’t usually share conversations, but I’m hoping this post can shed some light for those who have come across similar questions. Like every coach and practitioner, I don’t have answers to everything, and some answers are certainly just my opinion on a very complex topic. That being said, one of the most important thing I’d like to unpack in this post is the following:
One of the biggest responsibility of a coach/practitioner is to educate proper mindset and attitude towards life. Health and fitness education goes hand in hand with how an athlete/client faces adversities. The only person who will always be there is the athlete/client himself/herself when things go south, they have no one else to rely on other than their own mind. Having leadership qualities is taking ownership of failures no matter what the cause is, in doing so, athletes/clients will be able to make necessary changes and move forward. Instill resilience, not vulnerability.

There’s no question that investing in yourself can lead to growth in knowledge and skillset. The only thing you need to ask yourself is, what aspects of yourself should you be investing in?

Behind the exercises, the programming, and the evidence informed information comes the art of communicating and connecting with an individual.
For coaches:
Focus more on motivating clients/athletes to show up, and coaching the movement. Focus less on creating the perfect program and finding the perfect exercise.
For athletes:
Putting in work on a consistent basis is by far the most important thing you can do. Putting in work means getting your training done, sleeping well, eating at the right time, and getting your mind healthy.
Focus on the small gains, the daily increases, and the daily decreases.
