The Honest Version
What I used to get wrong
"Ten-plus years in, the biggest mistake I see in coaches (including a younger version of me) is rewarding finish times over finish quality. Standards are what protect people long-term."
How I coach now
I run safe, focused, fun classes with non-negotiable movement standards. I'd rather tell you a rep didn't count today and have you doing it well in six months.
