They warn coaches against chasing fast marketing schemes, emphasizing learning, patience, and mastering coaching craft first.
This was a great full circle episode as I had Cody come on the show for the first time after 8 years when he was a coach at Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance (for almost 7 years). He’s since built a successful online coaching business that has helped over 2,000+ clients transform.
We catch up and dive into the mistakes of nutrition coaching, the proper approach to get clients to a sustainable transformation, the steps he took to build his online coaching business, and the lessons for any upcoming coach.
Cody McBroom is a Father, Husband, Online Trainer and Sports-Nutritionist, and the Founder/CEO of Tailored Coaching Method, a Coaching Company that helps Average People Achieve Above-Average Physiques.
