The Coach's Playground

Coaches sometimes don't realize they are beating themselves up when there's no need to really do that.

 

We love getting into our body, getting in tune with it primarily by thinking about it. When the truth is, we only need to feel it.

 

Sometimes all it needs is proper movement and not any other crazy stuff you can think of.

 

Gym Training is not all about doing it until you're sore and all. It's all about taking those small actions consistently but effectively.

 

Hunter Crine earned a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from Penn State, where he worked in Division One strength and conditioning, before moving to New York City, to achieve a master's degree in exercise physiology from Hofstra.  

 

In the past six years, he has worked as a personal trainer with clients of all ages and skill levels while creating a safe environment to gain confidence with strength training to pursue their training goals.

 

In this episode, Hunter shares how it is important to have a proper mindset to motivate you to take actions consistently and effectively.

 

In addition, he underscores the idea that the gym is not your competition. Don't think of it as something you should conquer with all your might leaving you dead tired and unable to focus on other important matters that need your attention.

 

He showed a picture of a business design where you run it profitably minus the feeling of exhaustion.

 

With imposter syndrome bugging him now and then, he talks of how he can become the great coach he aspires to be everyday and overcome the challenges that come with being in the fitness industry.

 

"One of my favorite quotes is that it's not what people do when they're with you; it's what they do when they're not with you. And for us as coaches, we have to look at it through that lens and try to get as many people empowered and doing things on their own as we can." - Hunter Crine
