Yes, being a good trainer has downsides.  Although a good trainer has positives such as enthusiasm, willingness to expand their knowledge, and genuinely caring for their clients, but being a good trainer also has negatives such as putting others needs before their own to the point it negatively impacts their own health, they care too much for clients success that they can experience emotional burnout, and, often, they charge too little for their services leading to business closures, financial stress, and a sense of hatred for a job they once loved.  In today's podcast we discuss these negatives in further detail AND provide ways for trainers to fight against these negatives so they can live their best while still helping others do the same.

Contest Prep programming should NOT focus on the category (Bikini, Figure, etc...) but rather, on the person!!!  Knowing the category tells you the finish line, the goal aesthetics, but, not everyone starts from the same starting line!  Some need more focus on hamstrings than quads, but others may need more lower quad than upper quad, and still others may need no new size in their thighs but are in desperate need of size in their glutes!  Everyone has different aesthetic strengths and weaknesses therefore, regardless of whether they're aiming for the same category, each person NEEDS their own programming to be THEIR best!!!
