    Show Notes: Vinny Talluto Website IG @vinny_talluto Twitter @vinny_talluto Linkedin MBSC Spring Seminar (available in-person and online) Start with Why As a young coach - Be a “Yes” person The “DNA” around group and semi-private training Programming The Art of Coaching Creating an experience Logistics dictates programming COVID helped with the organization of MBSC and it’s programming Program conservatively, you can always make it more difficult Try to program proactively, coach reactively. You need to be able to communicate with clients to show that you care Coaching volume can be developed (dimmer switches) Hand hold clients in the beginning, slowly let the dove fly away Don’t coach them until you know their name, their family, their interests, their goals With injured clients, write the program as if they were 100% then work back wards using your regressions and lateralizations Bad coaches say I’ll remember, good coaches write it down Never Lose a Customer Again Book of the Week: Vinny: I Will Teach You to be Rich by Ramit Sethi Kevin: Overcome: Crush Adversity with the Leadership Techniques of America's Toughest Warriors by Jason Redman MBSC Spring Seminar (available in-person and online)
