Are you Coachable

Are you coachable?

No most of you will blurt out something like:

'Of Course'

'Heck Yeah'

or even just plain 'ol

'YES!'

But think about it for a second
are you really?

How do you know if you are coachable?

One good way to tell is have you ever been
coached, in athletics, business, or some other
skill development area?

No completing that season of T-ball where
you had be dragged by your parents kicking
and screaming every to every game, doesn't count.

We are talking about something where you made
a decision, signed-up and put your money down
and went through a coaching program.

Let gets something straight real quick
a coach really has one role and my favorite
way to define that role is from my buddy Dax Moy


A coach is: someone who helps you win

I will give you a personal example I am a little
over 9 months into business mentorship program
in which, I made a decision, signed-up
and put my money down

Why, it has help me 'win' in
2008/2009 more so than ever before.

Because I made a decision which is some times
good enough but then I took the next step and put
10k down. I did make a mistake here just
as my wife, but that's for another time.

You see there are NO:

Kindas

Maybes

Half-ways

with being coachable you are either
coachable or you are NOT coachable.

There are plenty of examples of the uncoachable
as well.

Someone who is in the sports new regularly is:

Terrell Owens

I have played with more than my fair share of them too
the uncoachable are an absolute cancer to sports team
I have been through this process on the same team with
the same 'cancer' twice. Yeah somebody made a bad
decision to let them back.

What makes someone uncoachable

Selfish
Non-compliant
Disruptive
Won't listen
Doesn't follow guidance

Why?

Two real simple reasons people are uncoachable

1. That individual has not bought into the program/coaching 100%

2. Fear the individual is either afraid to commit are they are afraid
give up 'control'

This is were it gets relevant to you and me, as adults we have been sold and
bought into the mindset, that 'no one is the boss of me'

How does the 'uncoachable' mindset trickle over into the fitness and
fat loss world how about these simple thoughts:

I am a 'big boy/girl' and no one can tell me

-- When or what to eat
-- When or How much I should sleep
-- What or how hard to exercise


Just imagine what kind of negative impact this could have
on one's results

Just a few things to think about when you hire a coach
of any kind; but especially a fitness coach.

You really don't want to hire a coach that you consider
your:

--pawn
--employee
--exercise watcher/rep counter

You should be hiring a coach to give the hard
answers that know one else will give and to help you
overcome obstacles with those hard answers.

pay close attention to the last line it's what being able to
be coached is all about
