Top 10 Habits Every Coach Should Adopt: Limit your coaching cues when working with clients Be an expert in personality types so that you can relate to clients effectively Adapt your coaching style to each client and personality Give clients what they want and not what you want See the big picture for your business and your client Eliminate arrogance within your coaching style Be wary of the next big thing Learn and become educated to understand evidence and research Understand the different needs and positions of your clients Learn the bend don’t break principles relation to exercise About Ray: Ray Gowlett is a former professional MMA fighter, motocross racer and current research skeptic. His lab contains almost 600 subjects (it’s a high school) and Ray is constantly seeking new ways to teach and coach. Many of these kids are high-level athletes; just as many don’t want to be in the class at all. He’s always trying new things, but this cross-pollination of students means every innovation has to satisfy two standards: It has to make people fitter; It has to make people happier. Ray coined the phrase we repeat at Catalyst often: “Exercise until you’re happy.” It’s the base of the hierarchy he teaches students. He also teaches research skepticism: how to read and rank the value of “research.” Imagine a generation of people who believe what they read on Facebook: that’s what’s coming, except for the students in Ray’s classes.
