Being a coach is a rewarding career. We get the opportunity to affect positive change in people’s lives through strafegic coaching that has been developed of years of experience. But who coaches the coach? Who motivates the motivator? Sometimes we get wrapped up in our clients and program designs that we tend to disregard the fact that we could use a little coaching here and there, too. Thats why last nignt’s coach the coaches experience at Orangetheory Fitness SouthTampa proved to be a much needed and long over due adventure. It brought all of us OTF coaches together in one high energy power pack class. I felt the surge the moment I walked in. All the coaches were amped up anticipating the workoutJeff Cogell was about to put us through. And boy let me tell he did not take it easy on us offering up a killer treadmill session that nearly made me puke and a strength training block that I am still feeling several hours later. I think at one point I mouth the words “I hate you” as I was walking to the rower after performing a series of difficult yet effective exercises. One thing I am grateful for is Melissa Class’ encouragment. There were moments I wanted to let up but she reminded me that I could do this and she was right! This is what its all about. Coaches getting together and motivating each other to push harder. It was also great to have members like Lindsey Morgan and Jenny Boots be a part of and witness this experience. I am thrilled to be a part of OTF coaching team.
