To all the aspiring fitness professionals out there, getting certified is the first step in the journey. My top recommendations for certification are National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and National Council on Strength & Fitness - NCSF. Another great tip for you when you're starting out, is learn from everyone around you! Ask questions and develop those communication skills, those two things will help you along this journey.

#TEAMWORK MCL is here to help Smaller semi/amateur clubs often face challenges in implementing strength and conditioning programs due to several reasons: Financial Constraints: Limited budgets make it difficult to afford qualified strength and conditioning coaches or invest in necessary equipment and facilities. Lack of Expertise: Smaller clubs may not have access to experienced strength and conditioning professionals who understand the specific needs and limitations of amateur athletes. Resource Limitations: These clubs may struggle to allocate time, space, and resources for regular strength and conditioning sessions amidst other priorities and commitments. Limited Awareness: Some clubs may underestimate the importance of strength and conditioning or lack awareness of its potential benefits for improving performance and reducing injury risk. Volunteer-Based: Many semi/amateur clubs rely heavily on volunteers who may not have the expertise or time to dedicate to developing and implementing structured strength and conditioning programs. Access to Facilities: Smaller clubs may lack access to suitable training facilities or equipment necessary for effective strength and conditioning sessions. Competitive Disadvantage: Without proper strength and conditioning support, players at smaller clubs may be at a competitive disadvantage compared to athletes at larger, better-resourced clubs. Addressing these challenges often requires creative solutions, such as seeking partnerships with local fitness professionals or collaborating with other clubs to share resources and expertise.

I’m not arguing, I’m just explaining why I’m right” 😅 One of my biggest skills is being able to relate to others and make them feel comfortable. Once that is accomplished, I through regular touch points and communication, drip-feed them the necessary information they need to hear in order for them to see progress. Sometimes it's training-related, sometimes it's health-related, and sometimes we just talk about football. But the positive impact I have on them once the call ends vibrates into everything they do. #t1coaching #bodyboss #MensFitness #MensHealth #fatloss #bodybuilding #gymlife #onlinecoach #personaltrainer #fitnesscoach #fitnesslifestyle

New post on Instagram by b3perform: VIDEO🚨 YOUNG ATHLETES SHOULD NOT SPECIALIZE IN A SINGLE SPORT: HERE'S WHY! 👇🏼 Many believe that early sport specialization is best for long-term success because of sport-specific practice... HOWEVER... 💥The opposite is actually true! Specializing too early can actually hinder you or your child's long-term success and chances of a thriving career or a healthy life after sport. RISKS INCLUDE: ❌ Psychological burnout Competing in the same sport without variation can increase the pressure to perform and increase anxiety around performance making a more stressful environment ❌ Increased risk of injury Evidence supports higher instances of overuse injuries and further catastrophic injury. This is a concern as major surgeries are being performed more often and at earlier ages than ever before! ❌ Developmental limitations Physical and cognitive/emotional development are crucial during the developmental years of childhood. Exposure to a range of challenging movements can create a more robust athlete! In addition, the social and emotional benefits of building self-esteem, and experiencing unique social scenarios and challenges can be quite powerful for young athletes. A LARGE portion of professional athletes were multi-sport athletes growing up. You can focus primarily on one sport but then take an off season to try other sports and train for the next season! 🤔 IN THE DC METRO AREA?
