5 Superpowers that Can Make You an Elite Trainer or Coach


Listen Later

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of comic books and superheroes.

But here’s the thing about most superheroes: they’re either born with a superpower—like Superman—or, they’re given one—like Spiderman getting bit by a spider.

On the other hand, trainers and coaches—though heroes in their own right—aren’t born with or given these superpowers.

While they can’t use heat vision or sling webs (yet), there are five skills coaches can develop into superpowers to turn them into the elite trainers and coaches they’re meant to be.

In this episode, I share five superpowers that can make you an elite trainer or coach.

I discuss how empathy has effectively served me through my career as a coach and explain how being a better communicator helps your clients get better results.

I outline how to motivate a client or athlete by understanding and relating to their goals.

And I also explain how you can improve your soft skills by becoming a better listener and underscore the power of building connections with your clients and athletes.

 

Once your clients and athletes feel a connection with you and that you truly care, nothing can stop you as a trainer or coach. – Mike Robertson

    Last Chance to Make 2022 Your Best Year Ever

    With the new year right around the corner, I want to help YOU make 2022 your best year ever. I’ve made it a goal to totally revamp my online coaching platform. In fact, I want to help more people than ever before –  and that starts with people like you.

    So if you’re interested in getting in the best shape of your life this year, I’ve got two options for you.

     

    Option Number 1: Private Online Coaching

    We’ll take offline training programs and move it online. My Private Online Coaching package includes:

    • An initial start-up call to learn all about you, your needs, and your goals
    • A custom, personalized program that’s going to help you achieve your goals
    • Regular communication to make sure that you’re on the right track and getting great results.
    • I’m only taking a maximum of five new clients in 2022, so if you’re interested in my one-on-one online coaching, send me an email at [email protected]

       

      Option Number 2: The RTS Annual Program

      In the RTS Annual Program, we go through four 3-month phases of training:

      • Building the Engine
      • Leaning Season
      • Athletic Domination, and
      • Stronger
      • But the cool part about this program is that it’s more than just a training program. Every month, you’ll not only get a new workout to follow but we’ll also set monthly challenges where we develop habits in nutrition, recovery, and mindset to help ensure that 2022 is your best year ever.

        If you’re interested in an annual training group, you can learn more at RobertsonTrainingSystems.com/Annual. This will be my last year running the program so if you’re interested, please sign up TODAY.

        And if you’ve got any questions whatsoever, feel free to email me directly at [email protected].

        Let’s make 2022 your best year ever!
