Do I Need One-on-One Training?
It's sometimes thought of as a luxury, but in reality private training is often a necessity. One-on-one fine tuning can give you more confidence that you're doing things correctly and safely during class, power you through your sticking points and help you reach that next level.
Book Review: Kettlebell Rx
One of the hallmarks of a great coach is that they can simplify the teaching of complex movements. In that regard, Jeff Martone is a master. His teaching style and his progressions unravel complex kettlebell movements and make them simple and attainable. After leaving coach Martone's seminar, I could not wait to try to teach kettlebell snatches and turkish get-ups to my athletes using the progressions he showed. After a weekend with coach Martone, I went from liking kettlebells to loving them.
On Coaching: Part 8
Coaching a class of athletes requires not only that you educate them and entertain them, but that you ultimately get them to move and to move better than they would without your coaching. Seeing faults in your athletes' movements is part of what is called the "coach's eye." However, bridging the gap between seeing those faults and fixing those faults and training your athletes to move better is both an art and a science.
