The Social / Human concept
Being of an empathetic nature naturally, my athletes often become friends because I like to create the relationship.
Being a professional coach, I know how to ask questions to make you take a step back from certain situations while preserving the level of intimacy you desire (Professional Coaching has an ethical charter that clearly states that everything stays between the coach and the athlete!)
I maintain the relationship with the athlete
- Each session is commented (even if the message is short, the athlete knows that I am following his evolution)
- If the athlete has a question, he/she knows that it will be answered quickly through WA
- If the athlete has a family/professional imperative, he knows that he will find me to adapt his training plan according to these constraints.
- Each week I send a short video to summarize the previous week and explain the goal for the following week
- I organize a monthly call in person or video conference to "take the temperature", exchange ... even diverge on subjects other than SPORT (but which can be of great importance for the athlete).
- I create a shared folder on Google Drive so that everything is centralized on the latest tests, the key points of our calls ...
- I have created a community within PerfAttitude but there is no obligation to join
My accountant strongly encourages me to do 6 to 12 month packages...
I resist because I want the relationship to remain HEALTHY!
I want a WIN/WIN model or else we stop the collaboration
Be careful, I don't know how to sell a dream:
- It takes some time to "calibrate" the training to effectively integrate it into your life
- It takes time for your body to adapt to a level of training
- It takes a COMMITMENT as high as what you shared with me during our first meeting to get a result
I could make a database with the famous “Frequently Asked Questions” but I love to ask the questions myself because very often the “real” question of the athlete arrives only after the 3rd or 4th question (simple experience of coach!)
A word from the Coach
I have already described it in the "Personalized training" module but I like to repeat it
- My mantra is balance Family / Work / Sport
- The content depends on the context
- The more the training is adapted to your context (Lifestyle, Family, Work ...), the more you will enjoy your training, the greater your chances of success.
