Long time, long distance friend Scott Caulfield has years of experience in coaching and management.
Scott currently works at Colorado College where he directs the oversight, development and management of individual and group strength and conditioning programs for all student-athletes.
He has over two decades of involvement in fitness and athletics.
And with that all comes a plethora of wisdom.
He has learned how to lead and train with resilience, strength, and compassion.
To do so, it is important to understand that…
1.) Nothing Is Above You
Everyone has to start somewhere.
Don’t be the guy who walks by the wrapper on the ground instead of picking it up.
There are going to be mundane tasks that you don’t want to do.
Use them to build up your character.
This applies to both yourself and your staff.
You want to staff your team with those who have attention to detail and are selfless.
2.) Always Seek To Improve
Confidence is good.
But cockiness will kill your character.
No matter how good you think you may be at something, there is always room to learn and grow.
3.) Make Your Clients Feel Important
Clients want to feel welcomed and appreciated in your facility.
For Scott working as a collegiate trainer, this means remembering his athletes names and creating an exciting environment that they look forward to working out in.
Greet everyone with a smile.
Make sure that your facility is cleanly and organized.
These all contribute to creating an environment people are going to feel important and appreciated in.
This will help keep up your retention up.
