THE GRITTY DETAILS

  • Promoting physical activity and behavior change requires finding activities that individuals enjoy and feel comfortable with. It may not look the same for everybody. A coach should be prepared to adapt to meet different athletes' needs. 

  • Evidence-based coaching involves using scientific research to inform coaching strategies, but it should also consider individual differences and practicality.

  • Helping clients embrace new seasons and changes involves shifting focus from past achievements to setting realistic goals and finding sustainable habits for the current chapter of life.
