» WHY A COACH?
|
A person would seek a Coach for the same reasons that s/he would seek a physician, lawyer, tax advisor, or accountant. This is because each is the professional of their craft and offers a variety of services necessary to achieving a desired goal. The difference is simply that while a physician is a health professional and an accountant is a finance professional, a Coach is a professional of fitness.

What is the difference between a Coach/Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) and a Personal Trainer?
Personal Trainers are health and fitness professionals that provide private instruction in one-on-one fitness sessions. Their scope is generally limited to developing and maintaining a desired level of physical condition. While personal trainers also help with standard flexibilty programs, and various fitness based information, their general focus is typically on muscular strength, tone, and building girth (size).
Coaches/ATCs go beyond what is committed by most Personal Trainers. A Coach is a person with expertise in team dynamics, data analysis, and improvement methods who trains and supports athletes while considering their personal, athletic and life goals. Coaches consider the broad scope of what an athlete wants to accomplish and tailors individual training sessions to achieve those defined objectives. Within each training session, a Coach will consider the athlete's overall health, flexibility, nutrition, strength, endurance and the technical and tactical aspects of the athlete's chosen sport. This approach allows Coaches to provide cumulative and diverse sets of training methods that will help athletes focus their mind, train their body, and achieve their peak.
