Reasons You Have or Should Hire a Coach

Most people could use a coach or a group of coaches to help make progress or see progress of sorts. Could be the person just trying to get off the couch or the 15-year gym vet that’s been around the block a time or 5. Some don’t want them or need them and that’s OK too. For those that don’t fall into such categories, even loosely, the best reasons to have a coach are.

Accountability- Without a doubt the number one thing I’ve heard from my folks at Team First XV is they love the accountability. Many of them could absolutely do their own thing to this point and find success but knowing that my goofy face is waiting for them to walk through the door is what helps keep them on track. Even better, the accountability is what helps get them back into the swing when they’ve taken time off for their own reasons (forced or not so much).

Technique- Even a coach that’s been training themselves needs help with technique on SOMETHING. We all have our own tendencies, biases, and flaws to clean up. Without a coach, it’s really hard to see as many as you can with one. I have a coach, who doesn’t stop kicking me in the ass with certain things, and that’s probably the only reason I still have one. That and I’d probably just do deadlifts and rows for the entirety of my training.

Exercise or Weight Selection- As I alluded to above, everyone has their own favorites and things they would rather do than say a Turkish Get Up or 90/90 Hip Switches and so on… That is why you get someone to help you bring those biases back to the middle to round out your training just a bit better. To a lesser extent, having someone to help know when to push the weight (or difficulty) and when to reign it back in keeps things moving along nicely and consistently.

That Final Support Team Member- For me, I’ve seen this make more impact than some realize. I’ve worked with folks that have 0 support in their training endeavors and I have worked with folks that I’m just one of many that help along the journey. In either case, it’s valuable to the client or athlete to have a person or another person that is on their side looking out for them. Yes, you know, the saying about the wolf and the pack, you’re welcome.

Should this post give you some inspiration to find your own coach, feel free to reach out to me with any and all questions. Thanks for your attention today friends and have a good one.
