Training Bites

Is there really a separation between mental and physical training?

Have you considered the totality of you or your clients life?

You are a series of habits accumulated over time. If your health goal does not address your habits - you will never adopt truly long lasting change.

With any injury, you just dont know what it might mean for someone.

Lastly, a look at my injury from a psychological lens.

Viewing my injury from a social lens.

I evaluate my own injury from a holistic viewpoint. This episode covers the biological element of the biopsychosocial model.

It's been a while! Been a while... excuses aside I just didnt prioritise this podcast.

Dan @strength_couch_dan and Allan @coach.alpha join me to discuss whether a coach should be able to perform the movement that they teach. Can you teach something you do not know?

Dan and Allan continue to join me for this round of podcasts. In this episode we speak about what we are training for currently, exposing ourselves to different training modalities. We speak about strength and power transference into BJJ, Dan running 100km and Allan beginning his weightlifting journey. This was a LOT of fun guys, and I hope it's fun for you to listen to too.

Daniel Lucchini @strength_couch_dan and Allan Pham @coach.alpha join me to talk about the selective language we use as coaches. The longer I spend as a coach and trainer, I realise just how powerful language can really be. How often have you made the mistake of thinking that your behaviour is associated with your identity, and so far as your happiness? Conversely, as a coach, how many times have you associated particular behaviours or training PBs as synonymous with someone's identity. If you are unaware, this CAN be potentially dangerous. Listen in.

Daniel Lucchini @strength_couch_dan joins me again to talk a lot of trash about income tax... but mainly to talk about horizontal coaching relationships. Horizontal coaching relationships assume that the people involved are equal; and as a coach we should be conscious of our language and how we might disrupt this relationship. For example 'you did well,' is a vertical statement. You are qualifying them. More details in the episode!

Steph finishes off this series with a very humorous rant about the dangers of social media.

Steph shares her expertise on Yo-yo dieting.

Steph and I discuss her experience with the morbidly obese. It really is not as simple as 'eat less, move more.' We have to look at these people with an open mind.

Steph describes what disordered eating and eating disorders are. If you are a coach PT or surrounded by health conscious people I implore you to listen to this. You are surrounded by this more than you know.

Steph keeping it real.
