75. Is Local Pain a Local Problem?

There are two scenarios.  Which camp are you.
Pain in the shoulder.... work in the shoulder.... or work around the shoulder then come back to the shoulder.
Or, is the answer somewhere in between. 
If you are an exercise pro that works with real humans that deal with pain, you will love this episode.
 

74. When You Are A Coaching Purist

Sales may come easy to you, but it didn't for me.
Funny how coaching is also sales.  Persuasion.
I noticed that understanding a sales process completely influenced my success as a coach/trainer.  
This is the story of how that happened.  

73. Are You Settling For Average?

Most businesses don't close because they are awesome.
Most close because they are average, or suck.  
 
What service do you supply that is exceptional?  
This is what sets apart a business that grows from the ones that are extinct.
1. Care about your clients.
2. Find out what they need.
3. Find out the "next" steps that will help them succeed. (Alex Hormozi)
4. Build those steps into your system, or offer.
5. Care even more about client experience.
 
Be exceptional in your own way.  
Remember why you started your practice to begin with.
If you want to help people deeply care about them. 
See how that process alone can help you create a better program that is original and can change a market.

72. Price and Value Perspectives

So you want to raise prices but you have a rock in your gut.
Use these two perspectives to help keep/make your practice profitable.
Important professional relationships are nurtured by understanding the needs of others. Find out how you can help others get what they want.
They will reward you for it.

71. Pain Prospects and Progress

Do you work with people that have aches and pains that want to get better?Then this is a quick mind bender of a show for you.
Do you still believe that all pain comes from where someone feels it?
I know I did.
Even with evidence shouting at me not to.
I still worked to help the local problem, and it helped, sometime.
Changing how you view pain, may change where you begin with a client.  
And that may lead to big progress.

70. Magic Modes For Your Clients’ Progress

Ever want to help those clients that just feel stuck?
I do.  
All the time. 
Especially when I have a client that has trouble grasping a movement or position.  
When Greg Mack brought up a different way to think about contraction modes, my ears perked up.  
A different way to look at the pieces of the challenges we already give our clients.  Not because we need more to track.  But because it might lead you to better solutions that you have missed.  
Just like I was missing. 
This is a completely different way conceptualizing positions and observations. 
At least, is was for me.

69. Why do 1-on-1 training sessions?

In this quick episode we talk about the difference between personal training and small group training.
First, why the value of personal training is perceived to be so low for many. Next, why small group training could provide an amazing experience.
Lastly, how this all fits together with what people are managing, aches, pains and loss of ability with age.
Enjoy.

68. Muscle and Aging: What It Means For Your Client

Have you ever learned what happens to muscle as it ages?  
How many young clients do you work with?
If you are like me, not many.
Chances are, your clients are over 35 years of age.  Even more likely, over 50.   How about over 50 with different medical conditions.
 
If you serve this population, then this episode is for you.  
 
You will learn some aging factors that will matter, and the mechanisms behind them.  
Below are all the references I used in preparing for this episode.  
I highly recommend reading the reviews.  They are free and full of helpful ideas.  Think of how this info can be applied in real time to create critical solutions for people that desperately need help controlling their body and preserving their muscle.
