"Experience is the teacher they will remember." -Fran Rudolph
When I first began to toy around with the idea of doing group kettlebell classes, my head was spinning in five different directions. I had post-it notes on every surface imaginable...computer, notebooks, datebooks, you name it. Each contained short scribbles that would make no sense to anyone but me. I cannot say that I have completely broken that habit but I am on a path that is far more organized and planned out than when I started.
It has been my lucky break to have Fran Rudolph walk in to the gym and want to start a personal training program. About three sessions in, she brought up the idea of doing a trade out for some life coaching sessions. I had been to a coach one other time because I felt like I was taking on too much in life at once and needed to figure out what my priorities were. But this time was different. This time, my head was on straight but I had no idea how to reach my goal of starting HeadSTRONG Athletics without the guidance of a coach. The post-it note trail would have kept building and all great ideas would have been hidden in the shuffle. And so my life coaching experience with Fran began.
Going to a life coach is different than talking with a counselor...especially in my experience. Fran actually took on the role of a business coach and editor in my case; though, that is the exception and not the rule. I actually saw Fran as more of a mentor, having gone through the start of a business herself (Today Coaching). We spent about 2 hours almost every Friday going over the details of a business and marketing plan so that I could start HeadSTRONG with confidence. And that I have. I have been able to reach a balance between family life, personal life and my career. (My main concern when starting HA was not having enough time to be an attentive mom and wife) The response thus far has been wonderful and I feel like all the hard work is paying off.
In life, there are going to be times when you have the focus and strength to see your goals through to the end without outside help. More power to you if you can do this and accomplish what you have set your heart on. Then, there are bumps in our path that require a hand holding. It was necessary for me to find someone to hold me accountable. Knowing I had an appointment with Fran kept me on track and got me where I am today.
If you have trouble making exercise a habit, maybe you need a coach too. Turning towards a professional for training will bring results faster, safer and you will have more fun doing it. It would be my greatest pleasure to be that personal training coach and guide you towards physical achievement. Come join the team at HeadSTRONG Athletics and find your new path.
