Working with a fitness coach can be one of the most powerful ways to reach your goals, especially when you have a specific performance goal in mind.
Throughout my life, coaches have helped me become a better athlete, from soccer and ultimate Frisbee to yoga, HIIT, ultramarathons, and now HYROX. But even with years of experience, certifications, and knowledge, I’ve learned that there are limits to what I can accomplish on my own.
In this episode, I share 5 reasons why working with a fitness coach can help you reach your goals faster and become a better athlete.
The right coach should push you harder than you would push yourself, understand your individual needs and limitations, provide experience and strategies you may not discover on your own, encourage you when things get difficult, and take some of the guesswork and stress out of training.
I also share how working with my ultramarathon coach Caitlin helped me prepare for and ultimately win a 100K race, and why I decided to work with Scott at Endorphin as I pursue my goal of competing for a podium at HYROX Denver.
During a recent HYROX training session, Scott challenged me to run a kilometer in under 4:10 after my legs were already exhausted. I finished in 3:54. That moment reminded me exactly why having the right coach can make such a difference.
If you’re training for a race, trying to get stronger, improving your fitness, or working toward a major athletic goal, this episode will help you understand what to look for in a coach and why investing in the right guidance can help you reach your potential.
