How to find a coach: Renee Garcia<br />
3) How accessible do you want your coach to be?<br />
Now you’re saying, “Duh, Renee… why would I look for a coach who isn’t<br />
accessible?” Ha! There’s plenty of coaches who hand you the program<br />
and say good bye, have fun & let me know if you have any questions –<br />
but to some, more accessibility matters. In a perfect world to some, a<br />
coach being accessible 24/7 is key, but let’s be real…That’s not going to<br />
be the case, as each of us, have lives outside of coaching and being a<br />
“coachee.” With having a live, in person coach, you do have that luxury<br />
to ask a multitude of questions and have them answered almost<br />
immediately. On the other hand, most people go with having an online<br />
coach where communication adds another layer of difficulty. Again, that<br />
goes into are you okay with having an online or physical coach?<br />
Takeaway: While communication is a two-way street, it is important to<br />
know that your coach will be there when needed for questions regarding<br />
programming, lifting form, and the other million questions you’ll find that<br />
you’ll want to ask your coach. When reaching out to your potential<br />
coach, ask them for their means of communication whether it be through<br />
a coaching platform, social media, e-mail, via phone or even through<br />
text.<br />
Shopping for a powerlifting coach is different for all, but hope these few<br />
points will help find someone that can lead you to the next level of<br />
powerlifting and help to make you a strong person in and out of the gym!<br />
