Commented on: What Makes a Great Coach?

Questo articolo fa un lavoro eccezionale nell'illustrare la complessità e la profondità del coaching di alto livello. Spesso, si tende a considerare il coaching come un'abilità basata esclusivamente sulle competenze tecniche, come l'insegnamento del movimento o la correzione degli errori. Tuttavia, l'articolo va oltre, esplorando come il vero valore di un grande allenatore risieda nella sinergia tra molteplici abilità e attributi che si uniscono per creare un'esperienza di coaching che può sembrare quasi magica.


L'autore mette in luce come il coaching efficace non sia solo una questione di conoscenze tecniche, ma anche di capacità di ispirare, motivare e comprendere profondamente i bisogni e i potenziali degli atleti. Questo approccio integrato è ciò che distingue un allenatore straordinario da uno semplicemente competente.


In sintesi, l'articolo non solo celebra l'importanza del coaching ma invita anche a riconoscere il duro lavoro.

I was cheated on by my partner and her fitness coach. She swore that nothing happened, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that She had been unfaithful to me. So I did some research online and found Y3llowl4bs. They told me everything, the name and address of the fitness coach, where they met, how they would meet up and it broke my heart. But what hurt even more was knowing that She had lied to me; that She had gone behind my back and betrayed me.

A great theoretical write-up, lately cf classes just feels like a bunch of people who want to come in and move around and socialize. I use to be so into researching and preparing for classes but I've been struggling so sooo hard with staying positive in classes. I was even thinking for a while of going for my L3 but it seems like no one cares to learn or get better or even complete the warm up. I don't know if it's my pride or what but I'm losing my passion rapidly when the majority of group fitness athletes coming in don't seem to care much.

I hear you, Jamie. I started CrossFit in 2017 (in my 50s)! It has changed my life. I am getting my L1 this June. Scared. I don't know anything about coaching. Doing a WOD and helping others DO a WOD - not the same thing. But I also see what you mean ... CrossFit is not just a trend or a way for someone to lose weight. Nutrition is so so important and the key that unlocks the rest of the CrossFit methodology. Thanks for being vulnerable.

Conditions wouldn't permit anything heavy today, so I didn't count reps and just did a bloody lot of them over at least 10 sets at weights 45-85#. Technique felt good today, even with my knees still sore from 1775 and 210706.

Short on time, bad at this move, subbed this:


21-15-9

45lb hang squat snatch

GHD sit up

10:35


This worked out really well: I was able to identify my #1 fault: armpits not turning out. Focusing on that fault helped to adjust bar travel, heels down, butt back, hips below knees -- all fell into place with attention to the armpits. Definitely not perfect! But a lot more consistent.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Jumping/landing with heavy weight, high output followed by rest, emphasis on squatting with an upright torso


MAIN DECISION

Do I allow for a regrip?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Same format, do sets of 10+ each time, also hold bottom position for longer than is comfortable


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As listed, don't allow for regrip


INTENSITY SCALE

As listed, allow for short regrip if needed


INJURY SCALE

Find something you can lift at full capacity and do a 3 rep max


MY STUFF

Did sets of 115 with a pause on the bottom


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3

"Identify a great coach and watch carefully as they interact with their athletes. Imagine nothing is an accident and try to imitate or incorporate what they do into your toolkit."


^^This, for sure. And it's also important for athletes to do this also - whether that's for CrossFit movements or sports in general. Recently we've been putting a lot of emphasis on less of me talking and, "Hey guys, watch Dillon... okay, spend 30 seconds trying to mimic that."
