The BROKE Strength Coach

Jonathan Erskine, MS, SCCC

As strength coaches, we constantly strive to better others so much that often times we neglect our own wellbeing, consciously or unconsciously. But that isn’t healthy, am I right? Why not take an opportunity to receive for change? The focus of this podcast is to give a deeper insight of what it means to be a strength coach, discuss topics that some might not be too familiar with outside of our specific field, as well as uplifting coaches by providing a platform to talk shop.
