Shallow is back!  In this episode, we unpack the real skill behind effective coaching: the ability to adapt. From rigid spreadsheets to real-world results, Shallow and Jiunta break down the difference between programming and coaching, why context matters more than sets and reps, and how subjective feedback can be more powerful than force plate data. Whether you're coaching rehab, elite athletes, or general population clients, the message is clear: the coaches who succeed are the ones who know how to adapt.
