THE POWER TO CHANGE SOMEONE'S LIFE

When you think about it, coaches have a great responsibility. A great coach can make a monumental difference in someone's life but a bad coach can cause both physical and mental damage. What is your experience with different coaches? How do you rate the coaches that you have in your life? If you are a coach what do you consider to be your strengths but also the areas that you need to work on? We talk about our experiences of being coached and also what it is like to wear the coaches hat. We would love to hear in the comments what your experiences of coaching or being coached! Happy listening!

Ever found yourself feeling like you are missing out because someone else is doing something you feel like you should be doing to? Or maybe you have to take some time out due to injury or trying to focus your energy and efforts elsewhere but it kinda sucks to miss out? Whatever the reason you may be feeling like you are missing out it can be hard to stick to your plan and not get lured in to do more. We talk about our own experiences of FOMO when it comes to training as well as chatting about and our thoughts and feelings around this year's Crossfit Open and if/why it is important it is for us to compare ourselves to the rest of the world. Happy listening!
