The word 'Coach' has certainly lost its credibility over the past few years.... Remember that phase where everyone had 'PT' or 'MUA' beside their Facebook name.... Dark times indeed.
Nonetheless, I still absolutely love what I do. I've been Coaching now for fifteen years, ten of which have been fully self-employed. I have witnessed every trend come and go and come back again. I watch these young fitness influencers scramble to be relevant online and question, do they even love the job? Love the game? What's their legacy other than a following that will never really remember them when the time comes? What have they actually done?
I've stood with champions as they battle for gold, I've been through the adrenaline rush a thousand times on the sideline of my athletes performances, standing in their corner and felt the highs and the lows that come with the territory. Most importantly, I know I've made an impact on people and changed their lives for the better. I've made novices into pros and beginners into champions. Helped those recovering from strokes and life-altering surgeries walk again, run again and live again. Helped countless individuals with their physical and mental well-being. Watched people who thought they never had a chance in this world achieve success they never dreamed possible and honestly, that's just a snippet of it all.
Whilst some spend all their time on this talking the talk, others are out there walking the walk.
Real Coaching is an art, not a popularity contest.
Respect the craft.
