Stocks or Bonds - Which Are You as a S&C Coach?
S&C coaches are like finances. I bet you did not think about it that way - but we are.You need to know this before you get into the field. Are you high risk and high reward (stock) or are you low risk and low reward (bonds)? If you work in an environment where you can be fired if the team does not do well, chances are you also can get a bonus if they win a lot. On the flip side, if you don't see any extra money when the team wins a lot - chances are you wont lose your job if they lose._______________________________Be sure to hit the subscribe button to get more free content from us #education #learning #coaching #podcast___CONNECT:🎥YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrengthCoachNetwork/featured📱Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strengthcoachnetwork🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StrCoachNetwork🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/coach_j_lima📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strength_coach_network/📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach.j.lima/🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/📝Blog: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/blog/🏫Education Course: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/fundamentals🛒 Shop Gear: https://my-store-cd9833.creator-spring.com/___From our sponsor TeamBuildr🌎Site:https://www.teambuildr.com/enTeamBuildr is a platform for any coach in any setting.

Buddy Morris Was RIGHT About These People
Here is another reaction clip. This time to another strength coach. But here is the catch. This coach (to my current knowledge) has and does not work in college athletics. Yet he is talking about why college S&C is wrong. To me, if you have not worked in it. You do not know what is going on and therefore should not talk about it. Check out the reaction and let us know your thoughts._______________________________ Be sure to hit the subscribe button to get more free content from us #education #learning #coaching #podcast ___ CONNECT: 📱Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strengthcoachnetwork 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/StrCoachNetwork 🐦Twitter: https://twitter.com/coach_j_lima 📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strength_coach_network/ 📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach.j.lima/ 🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/ 📝Blog: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/blog/ 🏫Education Course: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/fundamentals 🛒 Shop Gear: https://my-store-cd9833.creator-spring.com/ ___ From our sponsor TeamBuildr 🌎Site:https://www.teambuildr.com/en TeamBuildr is a platform for any coach in any setting.
