Episode 36! Here speak on a topic that most of us may have experienced before. Imposter syndrome. This can make us feel anxious, incompetent, and discourage us from making progress. This feeling can be overcome through awareness and believing in yourself. Coach Rod and I give some examples of our experiences and how we have learned from those experiences. Our conversations carries on into other topics that can help new coaches become more confident in their abilities and how to adapt new clients into class.

On episode 35 we speak on some topics that relate to getting better at sensing movement. Being in tune with your body is a skill that NEEDS to be learned, its called kinesthetic awareness. We speak on a couple of ways to enhance this skill and also touch up on how to develop strength using a different method that many may not speak of. It was a good conversation with some hidden gems, so stay tuned !

In this episode we get deep into a conversation about FEAR and how it can hold us back from achieving our true potential in life. We all have fears of what is going to happen in the future, some fear the past, some fear certain situations that can put a halt to their progress. Everything we want is on the other side of fear and we have to be able to face those fears in order to get to the other side. It'll be rough but worthwhile because in the end.... regret is something you don't want hanging over you. GO GET IT !!!

Episode 32! This episode took place on the road! 

We took a trip to ATx over the weekend to learn from some of the top S&C coaches in the game. It was exciting and very interesting to hear what these individuals had to say. There were some demonstrations that blew our minds, presentations that motivated us, and vibes that were genuine! The bonding experience that we had was awesome and the memories we created this past weekend will go down in the books.
