Just a little snippet from tomorrows blog on the whole Im a contest prep coach.....like this, share and comment and I will be sure to post my entire rant (of which I will be doing no more of, for at least another 3-4 months to remain predominantly positive, credible and inspiring to the FIO followers!!) I know I could pick a credible coach by being blindfolded and having them talk me through their why I should select them to be my coach. That way, I wouldn’t be using their body to influence me (which I wouldn’t anyway) – but let me tell you, I could pick a fraud in less than a nano –second, and I would love to “out” them at a second’s chance. You know, a bit like how the voice chooses their contestants for the show. Hide the ‘look’ and listen. Much can be said for this approach. Now days with choosing a coach it’s more like the X Factor – there is also an element of ‘marketability’ in the decision. My coach is blalah and blah and this is what they look like. Aren’t they great? They have won x, y and z. I will look maybe not like them exactly, but I reckon I will get close to it. And if they charge an arm and a leg I reckon they must be super duper special and their service will be amazing. Just for shits and giggles – something I rarely do due to lack of interest and lack of time, I perused a few websites on the weekend. Yes I was interested to see how some coaches ‘with a good name’ market themselves….. You know sentences like “You’ve seen my own incredible conditioning on stage – if you are a figure competitor, wouldn’t you love to know how to get those shredded legs?” smacks of ego and demonstrates not one iota of an example of great coaching in my book…… (Interestingly I congratulated this girl on her ‘great physique’ in season B last year and was rewarded with a huge sneer of her nose……now she wouldn’t have known me from a bar of soap but I was disappointed and guess I learned a bit about her that day!)….I have written and blogged an awful lot about ‘being nice; back stage and always treating people with humility…..Anyway, I digress….
