"Your knowledge of the physics of the human body is astounding, and it makes me increasingly confident of your advice." ...Straight forward and direct, playful, but not in a way that wastes time or takes away from the coaching.

I mean in my entire life, including my work life. You really really know your stuff. you keep up with the latest developments in your field and know what makes sense and what’s silly. You are committed to bringing variety to our workouts…it prevents you from getting bored and us too. You keep people engaged but you absolutely convey that at the end of the day, it’s each person’s own life and own responsibility – you don’t take that on. You are dependable, maybe that’s related to professionalism. You meet people where they are...
