Schultze and Jorge tackle the pitfalls of common coaching cues that hinder client progress. They delve into how vague commands like 'chest up' and 'knees out' can negatively impact biomechanics. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in communication and the unintended consequences of technical jargon.

Unpacking the effects of these cues, they advocate for better exercise selection and the benefits of unilateral training.

They cover how to build reputation in a new gym, why being great at solving problems isn't enough, and how to communicate your value, especially when clients don't speak the language of biomechanics. https://www.instagram.com/brandon.schultze/ https://www.instagram.com/jorgedehoyos_/ FREE Coach's Field Guide: https://www.pre-script.com/coachs-field-guide Certification for professionals tired of slow progress and corrective exercise.
