Parallel Coaching

That’s what I’d focus on.

So, if you’re a newly qualified PT…
What are you planning to do first?

And if you’ve been in the industry for a while, what’s the one piece of advice you’d give someone starting their PT career today?

Drop it below.

Someone reading this might really need to hear it.

Can you answer this Level 3 A&P mock question?

During dynamic aerobic exercise, what happens to systolic and diastolic blood pressure?

A) Both increase significantly
B) Systolic increases while diastolic stays similar or may fall slightly
C) Systolic falls while diastolic increases
D) Both stay exactly the same

Do you know the answer?

More importantly… Do you know WHY?

That’s the difference between memorising A&P for an exam and actually understanding what’s happening inside the body.

I’ve written a new blog breaking this down, including 5 more mock questions to test yourself.

You Don't Have to Quit Your Job to Become a Personal Trainer Thinking about becoming a personal trainer but can't quit your job? Discover how you can start a career in fitness gradually...

There’s a strange stage after qualifying as a PT.

You know enough to help people.

But you don’t always feel like you do.

So you wait.

You think you need more experience. Another qualification. More knowledge. More confidence.

And the danger is that "getting ready" can become a very comfortable place to stay.

Because the truth is, you probably won’t suddenly wake up one morning and feel completely ready to coach.

You become ready by doing it.

Your first client teaches you something.

Your next client teaches you something else.

You make a decision. You get it wrong. You learn. You get better.

And gradually, the things that once felt intimidating become things you handle without thinking.

And here's the really important bit:

There are people out there who don't need the most experienced PT in the world.

They need someone who can listen to them, understand their goals, help them move forward and genuinely care about their progress.

You can be that person.

You don't have to wait until you feel like an expert.

Start where you are. Keep learning. Let experience build the coach you're going to become.

If you're a new or trainee PT, what's the one thing you feel you need more confidence with right now?

🩸 Why doesn’t blood just fall into your feet when you stand up?

Do you know the answer?

Maybe your answer was... Venous return; Skeletal muscle pump; One-way valves.

But do you actually understand why?

That’s the difference between memorising A&P for an exam and actually understanding what’s happening in the body.

I’ve written a new blog explaining blood pooling, venous return and why cooling down after exercise matters.
