Online programming bridges geographical barriers between coaches and athletes, offering unique benefits and challenges that require understanding from both perspectives to create successful virtual training relationships.

• Coaches gain scalability and flexibility by creating programs that aren't limited by time or location
• Online coaching provides passive income opportunities alongside regular coaching work
• Global reach allows coaches to connect with athletes anywhere, expanding their potential client base
• Effective online coaching requires systems for video feedback, check-ins, and accountability
• Coaches must balance automation with personalization to maintain connection with remote athletes
• The market is saturated, making niching down and clear messaging essential for success
• Athletes benefit from accessing specialized coaching regardless of their location
• Self-motivated, experienced athletes typically succeed best with online programming
• The hybrid model combining online programming with occasional in-person sessions offers the "best of both worlds"
• Finding the right coach-athlete fit requires thorough vetting and clear communication about expectations
• New coaches should prioritize in-person experience before expanding to online programming

If you're considering online coaching as either a coach or athlete, focus on providing or seeking value. The relationship works best when both sides are committed to communication and the coach delivers more value than the athlete pays for.
