After 23 years in the game, I still feel like I’ve got a lot to learn.

But over those years, I feel like I’ve accrued a lot of experience – both in training, and in life.

So if you’re looking to level up as a trainer or coach, this episode is for you!

Here, we’re going to cover 9 pieces of advice I would give to any up-and-coming coach who wants to continue to grow and evolve.

And last but not least, the title is “up and coming” coaches versus “young coaches” – because I don’t consider myself a young coach, but that doesn’t mean I’m not trying to get better every single time I’m in the gym!

If you can get really great at coaching the average gen pop client, you’re going to absolutely CRUSH IT when you start training higher level athletes. – MR
