Episode Details

The longer I do this, the more I realize that your journey is never over.

You’re never a “finished” product.

Take program design, for instance…

Since I started in physical preparation, I’ve easily consumed thousands of pieces of content on this topic, including articles, webinars, podcasts, VHS recordings, DVD’s and seminars.

And furthermore, I’ve probably created 10’s (if not 100’s!) of my own.

Yet the longer I do this, the more I realize that it’s not just about learning or consuming – but how learning combined with our own experiences allows us to refine our thought process.

So today, I want to share you with 13 practical tips on programming and coaching.

Some of them may be more relevant than others to you, but I hope the thought processes involved will help YOU become a better program designer or coach!
