Instagram vs reality
We all know that couple who constantly post about how perfect their relationship is, always commenting ‘I love you’ on every post and saying things like ‘my world 🌎’ with pictures of their other half. But in reality we know these people, they are always arguing and their relationship is regularly on the brink of being over.
It’s easy now to fake things on the internet or to ‘influence’ and change your internet presence to be what you want it to be. If someone consistently posts pictures, videos and stories about push ups you begin to think ‘well this guy is good at push ups’ the reality can be very different.
Some of the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure of meeting or being coached by don’t have a massive internet presence they aren’t posting reels every 5 seconds or inventing the next ‘must do’ exercise…….. this is mostly because they are actually coaching, honing their craft, learning how to cue different personalities, learning how movement looks on different body shapes, discovering what motivates different individuals. In essence they don’t have time or brain space for the Instagram life because they are too busy building their knowledge on the things that matter.
Not saying their aren’t coaches out there that can do both…… just some food for thought, are they actually a good coach or are they just good at social media?
