The three key principles of coaching
WE HAVE HAD YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OF TRAINING AND COACHING A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE, FROM BEGINNERS JUST STARTING THEIR JOURNEY INTO FITNESS, TO MORE EXPERIENCED ATHLETES LOOKING FOR THAT FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE TO GIVE THEM THE EDGE IN COMPETITIONS AND THEIR CHOSEN SPORT.
THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE LEARNED THREE KEY PRINCIPLES:
FIRST, QUALITY OF MOVEMENT AND COACHING ARE IMPERATIVE AND SHOULD BE AT THE CORE OF EVERY GOOD CROSSFIT BOX. THEY SHOULD BE SOUGHT AFTER TIRELESSLY.
SECOND, YOUR DEVELOPMENT AS A COACH AND AN ATHLETE NEVER ENDS AND YOU SHOULD CONTINUE LEARNING FROM AS MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES AS POSSIBLE.
THIRD, THE ONLY THING THAT COMES CLOSE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY MOVEMENT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING FUN AND ENJOYING YOUR TRAINING.
OUR GOAL AS COACHES IS TO INSTILL THESE PRINCIPLES IN OUR ATHLETES.
