My good friend, entrepreneur and coach, Luka Hocevar is always one of my favorite people to have on this show. When he’s not on the road or dabbling in real estate, he’s the Founder, Owner, and Operator of Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance. This Seattle-based facility focuses on helping clients achieve maximum fitness through customized programs. Additionally, Luka is a business coach who helps other coaches grow their fitness business through his mastermind program, YO! Grow Your Gym. And of course he’s also the creator and host of The Vigor Life Podcast, a show that serves as the extension of his passion for coaching others. Luka joins me today to discuss his coaching journey. For starters, what coaches did he have early-on his career that motivated him and drove him to succeed? How has he gone from charging 5 euros per workout to coaching some of the most elite athletes in the world? And last but not least, what can you learn from Luka to help take your own coaching skills to the next level? We cover all that – and much more – in this awesome new episode!   If that guy’s such a great coach, what does he DO? Listen to a podcast. Buy the book. Get the course. So you can practice the skillset that they’ve developed to be great. – Luka Hocevar   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: * How Luka got started in the physical preparation game. * Why basketball was such a key aspect of his early life, and the lessons he learned from working on his game and body. * The various coaches he came across early in his career that had a profound impact on the coach he’s become. * How Luka realized he wanted to become a coach himself. * His coaching philosophy, and how it’s taken him nearly 2 decades to really flesh it out and make it his own. * Why he’s so passionate about learning, and the four key areas EVERY trainer or coach should be focusing on. * The role of synthesizing information and truly making it your own. * How Luka takes new concepts and integrates them into his life and training IMMEDIATELY (this is key to really understanding and owning new ideas). * His best advice for young coaches and trainers who want to level up and make their mark in the fitness industry.     Connect with Luka: * Vigor Ground Fitness * YO!
