I’m diving into the heart of remote coaching and exploring how effective communication strategies can make or break the client-coach relationship. We’ll discuss the importance of understanding how our clients feel, the power of client feedback, and how regular check-ins can help us gauge not only their progress but also their emotional journey. I’ll share insights on the impact of clear communication guidelines and why vulnerability in our coaching approach fosters trust and strengthens relationships. Communication missteps can lead to dissatisfaction, but embracing these challenges with a commitment to listen and provide constructive criticism helps us grow and support our clients more effectively. Join me as we navigate the key elements that can elevate your remote coaching practice.

Justin discusses the importance of embracing challenges and deliberate stress as essential components of self-care and wellness. He also argues against the common notion that rest and recovery are the ultimate goals, emphasizing that true growth and adaptation often come from facing discomfort and pushing one's limits. Justin highlights the need for balance, especially during stressful times, and encourages listeners to seek challenges that foster personal growth and resilience.
Takeaways:
Sometimes things need to be really hard for growth. Rest and recovery are not synonymous with self-care. Deliberate stress can be beneficial for self-care. Resting more is not always the answer to discomfort. Finding balance is crucial during stressful times. Something is better than nothing when it comes to exercise. If things are easy all the time, we will not get better. Valuing yourself is central to effective self-care. Embrace challenges to foster personal growth. Lethargy and complacency do not help anyone.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/feel-strong/support -

In this episode, I share a personal experience of witnessing a Philadelphia biker whose actions changed my day. This incident made me reflect on the concept of personal responsibility and how it applies to various aspects of life. While circumstances may not be our fault, it is still our responsibility to deal with them. Taking ownership of your situation and making the necessary changes, even if it means working harder than others, can be life-changing. That may mean being selfish at times to show up as the best version of ourselves.

The tension between custom, precise, individualization and highly scalable systems in the fitness industry is STRONG. While individualized solutions are recognized as necessary for people with significant problems or goals, they are difficult to implement and scale. Implementing individualized solutions requires highly skilled coaches who can address technical aspects and soft skills. Scaling individualized solutions is challenging due to the time and effort required. As a result, many people turn to systematized approaches that can be more easily implemented and scaled. However, these approaches may not provide the exact solution that individuals need. So what's a person to do? How can coaches make the greatest impact AND make a living? Let's talk about it

We discuss a concerning interaction between a medical professional and a patient. The doctor made a judgmental and ill-informed comment about their progress. It is important for healthcare professionals to be thoughtful with their words and consider how they come across to patients. Fitness professionals can also have a big impact on patients, even with seemingly small comments. I encourage professionals to be aware of the lasting impact of their words and to double back and clarify if necessary.
