Coaches' Series Round 3

We are back for our 3rd coach series and I want to preface this
week by saying every coach I am bringing on is a professional
with their own achievements, education, and experience. Many of
them you will recognize as well-known names.


 


If I could fit every amazing coach in the bikini competition
world on the show, we would have a whole other podcast, but I am
so excited about the coach’s I will be conducting these
interviews with.


 


None of the coaches have paid to come on and there will be as
limited bias as possible.


 


Every episode will contain the same set of questions for the
coaches along with specific topics for each coach to expand on or
opportunities to learn from and get to know them more!


 


This series is all about getting some serious understanding about
who these coaches are, what their philosophy is and even asking
them questions others might be afraid to ask them. The intention
is for you all to learn not just about them and their style but
also learn from them and their expertise. Plus! you can use the
questions I ask to interview other coaches you have on your
radar.


 


This is not a popularity contest, a who is better than who, or a
which is the right way fight, this is about truly highlighting
the individual strengths and systems each of these coaches have
to offer competitors in their own passionate way because we all
know everyone is different and so are these coaches.


 


I understand athletes have varying experiences with coaches and
unfortunately in an episode I cannot fully capture every review
of every coach either.

​Coach's Week Questions: 
What is your coaching philosophy? What kind of mental
physical and even emotional toll does coaching take on you?
 How do you handle these types of demands? What do you think
makes a coach a ‘good’ coach? What do you think is the difference
between a good athlete and a phenomenal, winning champion athlete
What do you have to say to the people who say politics with teams
plays a role in their client’s placing? Or that all of this is
political? How do you make your client’s health a priority? What
are some common misconceptions that people have about this sport
when they come to you?

 


What does each coach believe to be the most ‘overlooked’
component by bikini athletes for success in the sport?!


 


Hypothetical Round:
If I am 1 year into competing with a few overall wins under
my belt and my goal is to get my pro card and I have never stepped
on the national stage and have been working with the same coach for
all those SHOWS but was looking for a new approach why would I hire
you? If I am 4 weeks out from a show and keep saying I don’t feel
ready, but you believe I am, what is your response? Let's say
someone comes to you wanting to compete or considering it, what is
something you want them to know before they compete? Your client
comes to you and says they have rebounded after their show and just
wants to reverse it and get back to normal, what do you do?

 


Rapid fire answer with 1 sentence or less then you can pick some
to expand on
Do you believe in using Waist trainers IIfym or structured
meal plan Do you believe in using Fasted cardio? Fan of Water Cuts
Steady state or HIIT for fatloss without sacrificing fullness
especially in glutes?

Anything I didn’t ask you that you think I should have?


 


Then 1-3 topics chosen for each individual coach will be covered
too throughout the episode!
