We’ve mentioned before that some of the most powerful insights people can get………

 

Can take time.

 

Things we’ve come to realise and really hold true……..

 

Years after first hearing them.

 

And members who’ve taken on board something we’ve said or done weeks, month or even years later.

 

We had a great one recently.

 

A member who’d recently rejoined after going somewhere else.

 

She told me that she’d initially liked the approach of this other coach as “he gave me a lot more information”

 

Lots of coaching points on every exercise.

 

Loads of ‘more advanced’ exercise.

 

Tonnes of advanced nutritional information.

 

It seemed like the answer.

 

But, as is often the case……..

 

More isn’t always more.

 

“The problem was, I didn’t actually end up doing much of what he said”

 

Her eating wasn’t great.

 

A mixture of ‘paralysis by analysis’ and ‘falling off the wagon’ when she couldn’t eat perfectly.

 

The workouts because frustrating as she constantly felt she was doing it wrong.

 

And she’d picked up a few injuries from exercises she was, perhaps, not quite ready for.

 

Good coaching isn’t about the volume of information you give someone.

 

It’s about giving them just enough at the right times to help them along their journey.

 

It’s not about trying to get people to ‘perfect’ (whatever that is) as fast as physically possible.

 

It’s about supporting them on their individual journey of change (check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if you like the sound of that more rather than “try harder” and “again, faster”)

 

Now, this coach may or may not know more stuff than us.

 

I’d kinda hope not though after the amount of time we’ve been doing it.

 

But, that’s not the point.

 

Remember, more isn’t always more.

 

Master the basics first.

 

Even if that takes time.

 

Then we have more advanced stuff as and when it’s appropriate 🙂

 

 

Much love,

 

Jon ‘TMI’ Hall and Matt ‘TMNT’ Nicholson
