There’s a big difference between being told what to do and actually being coached. 👀
Anyone can tell you:
“Do 3 sets of this.”
“Eat this many calories.”
“Get your steps in.”
But that doesn’t necessarily teach you anything, nor hold you accountable.
For me, coaching is showing someone how to do something, watching them do it, critiquing it, making adjustments and helping them understand why we’re doing it in the first place.
If your squat needs work, I don’t just want to tell you to squat.
I want you to understand your setup, what we’re trying to achieve, what you should be feeling, what tends to go wrong for you and how you can recognise and fix it yourself.
And I think the exact same thing applies outside the gym.
I could just give someone calories and macros.
Or I can help them understand how to actually make those numbers work around meals out, weekends, work, family and the rest of their life.
That’s why I think of myself as a coach, not just a PT.
The aim isn’t just to get you through another session.
It’s to help you make progress, understand what you’re doing and build enough confidence in yourself that you become more capable with or without me stood next to you.
That, to me, is coaching. 🤛🏼
