The Strength Guys are a group of scientists, innovators, and athletes who are passionate about delivering results-driven and evidence-based online powerlifting coaching services for drug-free athletes. Their team specializes in powerlifting coaching as well as coaching for bodybuilding, athletics, and general fitness athletes. In this episode, I sit down with two of their coaches - Taylor Atwood and Jason Tremblay - who happen to have their own coach/client story stretching back for the past 4 years. This coaching relationship has seen Taylor medal on the international powerlifting stage, and it was great to sit down and chat about what has made them such a successful pairing.
I ask them:
1. Intro - tell us how they met/got started. 2. You guys have been working together for quite a while now, and you both coach a number of successful athletes. - What do you think are the biggest keys to developing & maintaining a good coach-athlete relationship? - In your particular relationship, have either of you felt like you let the other down? If so, how did you approach that and deal with it? 3. You guys have done several high profile competitions together - how do you handle the stress of competitions like that - both as a coach, managing your stress and your athlete, and as an athlete. 4. Who's been the biggest influence on you as a coach/athlete? 5. What's the one thing you wish more coaches and/or athletes knew?
