    EP 185: Principles & Skills For Coaching Greatness (Building An Elite Career In Fitness) - Part 2

    I decided I wanted to start sharing principles and skillsets that build the greatest coaches and careers in the fitness industry. This is not a list from 1 to whatever. This is my personal insights, notes from other great coaches, books, things mentors shared with me, and much more. This will be an ongoing series of at least 3 episodes (if not more) as I want there to be something anyone can come back to and use as a resource to develop their skills, get a refresher (“we need to be reminded more than we need to be taught”), or direct someone to that wants to build successful coaching skills. Developing these skills is a lifelong purpose and after 20-years of being obsessed with coaching, I can still see how much better I can get at many of the skills I share.  These episodes are for the coaches (and by the way, everyone will be in a coaching role in their life so it applies to everyone!) who want to be in the elite category. I have been fortunate to stand on the shoulders of giants and invested an enormous amount of time, energy, and money, to learn from them over the decades. Most that were grateful to help, asked me for one thing in return - to pay it forward. These episodes and this podcast is a way for me to pay it forward like the greats did for me.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: => The 5 critical core emotional skills you need to be a 51%-er and develop greatness in coaching.  => Why what you say matters a LOT and how you can’t “fix people” (and don’t say it!).  => How being a “bucket filler” will help you improve your programming and results.  => How to not stray away from the clients goals while giving them training they like.  => The secret to making exercises and programs feel different when they’re really the same (you MUST learn this). => Why I think about Murphys Law when I’m training clients (especially groups) and how I prepare to avoid problems. => Should you do deload and rest weeks and your general population clients. => The power of “if/then” and having regressions, progressions and lateralizations ready ahead of time.  => Why you should ask “What do WE have next” during the sessions often.  => A tip on how I check “readiness” of clients at the beginning of a session so I can adjust it (and makes them feel special). => How to use the “sprinkler method” in group and semi private coaching that will differentiate you from the rest.  => Why you should ALWAYS leave personal problems at home when coaching.  => My “coaching energy system” that will always have clients loving your sessions.  => How you can always show clients progress through different means and keep them motivated (even when they’re not losing weight).  LINKS & RESOURCES: Book: Setting The Table (Danny Meyer) - https://a.co/d/7Y7eKHS Book: The Language of Coaching (Nick Winkelman) - https://a.co/d/2wg3tId Luka’s Courses and Workshops  www.LukaHocevar.com Luka Hocevar YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ29YcBh-g6onRujX3wD_XA?view_as=subscriber

Most that were grateful to help, asked me for one thing in return - to pay it forward. These episodes and this podcast is a way for me to pay it forward like the greats did for me.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: => What makes a great coach, the principles that will stand the test of time.  => The anchor that you need to be a great coach. If you’ve been doing it for a while, you need this reminder. => The power of 3 - which 3 things you should do with every client every session. => What is PAF and why should you know it for every exercise you coach.  => Why you should steal smart people’s s@*t (and never stop).  => How videoing your own coaching sessions can be a catalyst and mirror to build the best coaching abilities.  => The reason feedback loops are so powerful and how to make sure you’re getting better and not worse, daily.  => What habit that we teach our clients is critical for your own coaching success. => What should you be doing 100% of the time on the training floor (this differentiates the good from the great). => The reason using jargon, abbreviations, and acronyms makes you a “smart ass” and not a great coach. => Why you should be practicing demonstrating exercises (yes, even if you’ve been at it for a while). => The superpower of communication and why you still need to get better at it (even if you’re good).  => Do you need to give clients “more s@*t or more ice cream”? => Why you should be “flipping it more often” and why you shouldn’t talk about yourself in sessions.  => Your body language may be the thing stopping you from building your book of business.  => Don’t program exercises you can’t do, demo, or aren’t confident coaching.  => Not too quiet, not too loud, just right (what does this mean for you as a coach).  => Tony Robbins, David Goggins, Brene Brown, Gary Vee, Mel Robbins,…who are you emulating and how should you be as a coach. => The one sentence that is a big NO to say to a client (and so many coaches still do it). => And much more….

    EP 184: 5 Training Mistakes Killing Your Progress & The Best Conditioning For You

    I take down notes when I talk to clients or when people reach out to me asking for advice. I created this episode from the questions I get and the struggles people have when reaching a plateau, and seeing what they do that gets them in “trouble.” Most people make these training mistakes that hold back their progress.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: => Why trying to make great progress when it’s already good is the reason your results are stalling.  => The truth about how much gains you can make in muscle and strength (even as a beginner). => The mistake you make that makes you think you’ve had a huge progress from week to week (this is an insight most don’t know). => You should be on a program, but you already know that. Structure and tracking are your missing link to gains! => One of the biggest training mistakes people make when trying to lose fat (this will kill your muscle gains AND you won’t get leaner). => When lowering calories your program should do this. => The best way to know your training frequency is too high (and you’re likely creating the wrong splits for yourself).  => Abusing stimulants to mask fatigue (I used to do this often) will lead to a crash and reverse your results. Here’s why. => What difference types of cardio are there and which ones should YOU focus on and why. => Why trying to do all types of cardio together doesn’t usually get you the results you want.  => Examples of 4 week cardio programs I’d add to strength training.  => Why the “boring” aerobic cardio is so important to your health AND performance.  => The biggest mistakes people make when it comes to their cardio training.  I’m excited to say I’ve now partnered with the highest quality supplements I’ve been using for years - Live Momentous. It’s hard to trust supplements today, which is why I use the most rigorously tested supplements out there. What they say is in them, is in them. It’s also the only whey isolate that hasn’t upset my girlfriend’s stomach (she has ulcerative colitis).

    EP 183: Create Better Results For Clients with These Program Design Insights

    Every once in a while I like to do an episode on program design and share insights on writing better programs.
