When people ask me a question, I usually respond immediately with a question.
I’m 𝘯𝘰𝘵 trying to be a troll.
I just need to know where the glitch is.
You’re trying to process information and you’re missing pieces.
Quite often, the question you are asking is reflective of your current understanding.
Usually, me answering your question directly, will not give you any more clarity.
So I start digging.
🕵🏽♂️ Investigating. 🕵🏽♂️
Pretty soon we 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 realize where the gap is.
And so I do my best to address THAT piece.
Regurgitating information is rarely helpful.
I need you to “get it.”
In the moment, that’s all that matters.
Otherwise I’m just talking AT YOU.
That’s not coaching. That’s not what a teacher does.
This is why I don’t get super technical with most of my content.
I just need you to get certain ideas.
Most of you reading this are not high-level athletes.
You’re regular people.
Maybe you just feel a little older than should.
Or your back / hips are always talking to you.
You don’t really bring it up at work or when you’re catching up with your friends.
Why?
You don’t want to sound like you’re whining / complaining.
You’ve seen a bunch of people and they hit you with a “one size fits all” kind of approach.
They “hand-wave” you when you ask them a question.
Their answers sound good: “breathing,” “parasympathetic,” “posterior chain,” or “muscle imbalances.”
But they’re not saying anything. They’re just spouting rhetoric.
That’s 𝐍𝐎𝐓 good enough.
You NEED to understand. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to shoulder the responsibility of changing your situation & improving your life.
But what do I know? Maybe you like playing the victim.🤷🏽♂️
In which case, I’m probably NOT the coach for you.
