Franz Fitness Podcast

One of my athletes gave me a list of interview questions to help him better understand what things look like from a coaches perspective.  These questions range from nutrition, to periodization, and more.

It was a great critical thinking exercise and I believe that other coaches and athletes may benefit from hearing these questions as well as my responses.  If you're eager to share your feedback, feel free to write into david@franzfitness.com.

I've coached athletes as young as 9 years old and adult clients well into their 60's and 70's and they all have something in common.  Performance matters. Whether its competing for sport or handling situations in their life with more ease, everyone trains for something. 

In this episode I discuss how training varies across one's lifespan and how we as coaches need to adapt, pivot, and prepare to lead clients in the weight room at every stage of their life.  As fitness professionals, our job isn't always about PRs and flashy lifts.  It's about helping clients perform well, reach their goals, and teach them to have a healthy relationship with exercise beyond their career.

Whether you're a coach, parent, athlete, or a health and fitness enthusiast, this episode will speak to you.

With tons of organizations to get certified through, its tough to know where to go, what to study for, and which certification to choose.  In this episode I, hopefully, lend some clarity to professionals who are considering getting certified in the health and fitness field.

In this episode Rebecca and I discuss lessons learned through coaching. We discuss:

• Staying fresh and mentally present for your sessions
• The importance of varying your communication strategies with different athletes
• Building rapport with athletes and helping them reach their own goals
