The Trainable Menu Workshop: A Thoughtful Conversation on Programming and People Skills for Coaches

I’m coming to Syracuse, NY!

(AKA: kinda, sorta home)

When it will likely still be cold as balls outside.

Why?

For this…

I’m excited to be making the trek back to my roots in central New York this coming Spring. I can’t remember the last time I presented in the region, but it was definitely after I was named 1st Team All-Region as a pitcher at Onondaga Community College back in 1997.

I was also team MVP, and got an A in meteorology, but that’s neither here nor there.

The Trainable Menu Workshop is targeted toward personal trainers, strength coaches, physical therapists, and anyone who’s nerdy enough to have read Mel Siff’s Supertraining for fun (you psychopath). Being successful in this industry is about building the necessary skills to be a good coach/trainer…

…not learning the latest tricks to edit the perfect Reel on Instagram.

Moreover, being a good coach is much more than the x’s and o’s of program design, breaking down deadlift technique, and knowing how to improve scapular upward rotation.

It’s also about the “soft” skills.

I.e., building better relationships, improving motivation, and understanding how to set boundaries and expectations with your clients.

This 1-day workshop will provide insights on how to enhance your clients’ experience starting with the assessment all the way to the part where you have them begin to lift heavy things.

Specific Topics Include

  • The keys to increasing motivation for your clients (everyone is a little different).
  • How to expedite the assessment – (I.e., STOP seeking out dysfunction).
  • What the Trainable Menu stands for and actually means. Focusing on what your clients CAN do rather than what they can’t (and how to create a training effect around common injuries).
  • Practical strategies and guidelines I use to write effective strength training programs for my general population clients as well as athletes.
  • Greatest 90’s hip-hop lyrics.
  • And more….
