Episode Details

I’m ever the optimist, but there are definitely some things that need to be improved in our industry.

Burnout is a real thing, and it’s negatively impacting both young and old coaches alike.

Imposter syndrome can detract from your confidence and ability to coach at the highest level.

That’s what I try to unpack in this week’s episode of the Physical Prep Podcast!
