Coaches vs Trainers

Coach- points out things that are in need of correction or improvement and suggests better alternatives. In fact, a coach can continue to provide similar services over a period of years. Coaching leads to improvement

Trainer- deuchebag I wearing pastel abercrombieish muscle polo shirts, geled spikey hair, expensive “distressed” jeans, beach muscle build (big pecs and bis, tiny stick legs). wearing corporate gear with their name embroidered and track pants.

Most trainers are clowns. All they talk about are the best selling techniques. How to get your clients to spend money. How to talk down to them and make everything seem confusing, not relay what you mean in layman’s terms. How to craftily answer questions and make it seem like they need you the trainer so much, how they can’t afford to not have you.

 Coaches are people that discuss what has been working for their athletes and what has not. They talk about programming. They talk about verbal and tactile cues. They talk about getting athletes in the correct positions and how to keep them there rep after rep after rep.


 The main differences in coaching vs training:


1)Trainers know machines. Machines are easy to do. They require no thought. They require very little correction.
Coaches know movement. Movement is hard to teach. It requires a SHITLOAD of patience. Corrections are constantly made with movement.
2)Trainers know the about the distal and proximal insertion of the hamstring.
Coaches know the role the hamstrings play in a squat.
3) Trainers are looking for the next cool thing to make them stand out to get new clients.
Coaches know what works for strength and conditioning. Time tested tools and exercises that have been making people strong for decades.
4) Trainers read about an exercise on the internet or a book with a start and finish picture and then “know it”.
 Coaches seek out other more experienced coaches to learn movement from them and constantly work on their own technique to try to master a move.
