Episode 32: What's important when choosing a good coach: do abs matter?

<p>This episode touches on self worth, body image, value systems and so much more- we talk about what coaching truly is and what you should or shouldn’t value when it comes to working with a coach.</p> <p>Whether you have a coach, are a coach, or are just interested in understanding a bit more about the behind the scenes of the fitness industry, this episode will challenge you to think a bit differently about what you see on social media, in your gym or even with your own personal coach.</p> <p>You’ll learn the difference between a coach and a personal trainer, the value of asking questions, and why your coach might make you hate them sometimes. We cover the concept of internalised biases, how to recognise them and why bias isn’t necessarily a bad thing.</p> <p>Our personal experiences come up in this episode as well- why we’ve felt pressure in the past to look or perform in a certain way to validate our coaching… and what we’ve done to work on that self worth piece over the years.</p> <p>We discuss what really DOESN’T matter as much as you think it does when it comes to coaching, some questions you should definitely be asking before you hire someone, and some questions you can ask yourself when looking at how to continue progressing towards whatever goals you may have for yourself in nutrition, health, fitness or life in general.</p> <p>In the beginning of this episode, you’ll hear some VERY exciting news (for us at least), and we discuss local fiestas, electric cars and what its like to podcast in person vs. over zoom.</p> <p>Mentioned in this episode:</p> <p>What makes a good coach? : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtG-Egh0XA/">https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtG-Egh0XA/</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/be-well-cartel/message
