Blackout Strength and Conditioning

They didn’t know it at the time nor did I mention to them that these 2 champions performed 18.1. Everything is scalable and everything is achievable.

The job of a coach is not simply to teach.
The job of a coach first and foremost is to understand why the student wants to be taught.
If you want to be a great coach, spend more time getting to the root of the problem your athlete came to you to fix.
“I want to lose 20 pounds” really means “I don’t feel great about the way I look.” If you as a coach agree to help someone lose 20 # without further conversation, you risk having the athlete lose the weight and still be dissatisfied with the results.
“I want to squat 300 #” really means “I don’t feel like I have adequate strength”. If you as a coach agree to help build strength for your client without getting to the root cause of their goal, you risk having them hit it and still feel inadequate.
Yes. The job of a coach in large part IS to help your athletes hit their goals, this point is not up for contention.
What is however debatable is if most coaches truly understand what their clients’ goals really are.
