We coaches are challenged to create meaningful opportunities for you to learn, excel and reach past what you thought was physically possible. Here are some examples:
- Guiding you from the hip hinge to the kettlebell deadlift, to the swing, to the snatch.
- Challenging you to set up and finish every movement with the same mindfulness and attention to technique.
- Helping you learn to listen to your body and understand the difference in feeling fresh, safely challenged, or fatigued. Then we teach you how to applying this to your daily training.
- Regressing and progressing your training so that you look at your fitness journey in terms of months and years, rather than days and weeks.
- Teaching you about mobility and recovery. And making it as high a priority as strength and conditioning.
Every time you train it’s a time to discover something new about you.
We who are coaches, trainers, teachers see it every day. We see smart training transform peoples’ lives. They soon have more enthusiasm, confidence, freedom, and joy in their bodies—in addition to the physical results. We see this as greatness and we want this for you.
Greatness has many faces. It’s showing up. It’s learning to move in new ways. It’s lifting heavy, heavier, heaviest. It’s a finding new grace and ease in your body. It’s listening, feeling, understanding. It’s getting up and down off the floor. It’s going faster and farther. It’s moving slower and more methodically. It’s trying something you feared.
Acknowledge improvement and celebrate this as greatness every time you train.
For the seemingly ordinary experience of moving and lifting, learning and practicing, training and recovering, whether alone or with others, touches not only the physical, but also the mental and emotional side deep inside us. This keeps us coming back for more.
For many of us, the most profound moments of discovery occur when we find a weakness, address it, then seek to rise up and defeat it.
Discovery takes courage. Discovery takes mental focus. Discovery takes patience.
We know that some physical skills take years to achieve, let alone perfect. Some physical skills might not be achievable because our bodies are different than they once were. How we respond to this can speed up or slow down the discovery process.
