Strength Coach Business “Advices”
I have shared hundreds and hundreds of videos and podcasts regarding the business aspect of being a Strength Coach / gym owner. At the time of this writing, I see more craziness in the world, less "job security" for strength coaches and still, many Coaches not diversifying their income. I've seen enough Coaches get released (aka fired) from their position and then have to uproot their entire family, including children who are mid way through high school. It is heartbreaking to see this, … [Read more...]

Professionalism in The Strength Coach Profession
When I first began sharing / writing articles and creating work online, I garnered a few haters. Not too many haters, but the few who hated were actually well respected Strength Coaches. They may have forgotten what they said, but I did not forget :) When someone brought it to my attention I said to them, "Tell them not to worry about spending time bad mouthing me. I can see their blazing insecurity every time they have bad things to say. Besides, why do they feel so threatened by a guy … [Read more...]

Strength Coach & Strength Training Lessons Learned Since 1989
It was June of 1989 when I began lifting weights in my brother's room. For a year, perhaps even 2 years, I was already intrigued with getting strong and building my body. I would read the bodybuilding books and magazines my brother had before I even began training. Unfortunately, those books were bodybuilding based. There were NO performance based training books available at the book stores. Unless I completely ignored them and only read what captured my attention. When I began coaching at a … [Read more...]
