If you’re serious about becoming a better trainer or coach, at some point you need to ask yourself some big questions. For instance, what’s your philosophy when it comes to training? What groups or populations do you want to serve? And assuming this is a career (and not a hobby), what are you going to charge for your time? While these questions may sound simple at first glance, they’re definitely not easy. So in today’s episode, I’m going to take you step-by-step through these questions and help you figure out what’s most important TO YOU as a trainer or coach.   What do you truly believe in when it comes to training?

Or a career? And how does that impact your rates? * The sweet spot of pricing, and my thoughts on where it’s easiest to be successful over the long-haul. * Three side notes you absolutely MUST LISTEN to with regards to your pricing (this section alone will save you a lot of headaches if you take my advice!)     Related Links: * The Derrick Rose Vertical Jump Program   Stop the Frustration!
