Anyone with a stopwatch and whistle can make you puke, and sweat isn’t really the equity we’re looking for here.  A real pro will make you stronger, faster, and better.  We all need to be aware of this, especially the consumer.  The majority of people out there just can’t distinguish between getting “tired” and getting “better.”  “Better” should be the goal.

Let’s look at it this way, in terms of a kickboxing coach (that’s my personal genre).  Let’s say that two separate coaches are helping two separate athletes prepare for sparring. 

Coach #1 spends the first session reinforcing proper footwork and movement for 3-minute rounds.  Coach #2 has their athlete work 3-minute rounds crossing over punches on a heavy bag for the entire workout.

The athlete crossing over punches for a whole hour will be sweatier and tired, but the athlete reinforcing technique will get better, or improve, from the workout.

We have to be careful hiring a “coach.”  Far too many think a puking athlete is the sign of a great workout.  These coaches make up for a lack of knowledge with “pain storming” their athletes into submission.  There are a lot of personal trainers that will do the same thing. 

Now, the Flex Wheeler Team is all for a hard training session.  We just need to make sure that there is a reason and purpose to it.
