The best clients aren’t always the most talented.
They’re the most coachable.
I’ve worked with complete beginners and I’ve worked with people stepping on stage.
The ones who make the fastest progress have one thing in common.
When feedback is given, they act on it.
They don’t spend a week doing half the plan.
They don’t pick the bits they like.
They don’t ignore the changes and then wonder why the same problems keep showing up.
When you hire a coach, you’re paying for an outside perspective.
You’re paying for someone to look at your situation objectively and make decisions based on the feedback you’re giving them.
The game plan for the week isn’t pulled out of thin air.
It’s built around what you’ve told your coach.
How your body is responding.
What issues need to be fixed.
What needs to improve.
If you then spend the week doing something completely different, you’ve changed the experiment.
So when check-in comes around again and the same issues are still there, the first question shouldn’t be aimed at your coach.
It should be aimed at yourself.
Did I actually do what was asked of me?
Because if the answer is no, nobody knows whether the plan would have worked.
Being coachable doesn’t mean agreeing with everything blindly.
It means being willing to change the things that got you where you are now.
If what you’ve been doing was working, you probably wouldn’t be looking for a coach in the first place.
The clients who get the best results understand that.
They trust the process, apply the feedback, and give the plan a chance to do its job.
