Become an MMA Conditioning Coach
You could always benefit from more members, students, and clients.
Your local community is filled with opportunities to build quality relationships so you can increase your student numbers.
Yes, this is different than running a Facebook ad or making a YouTube video. We aren’t saying you should stop doing that. It’s just important to be active in your community as well to maximize the relationship opportunities.
Here are some ideas you can implement immediately:
You may be missing out on the biggest market for your coaching services.
If you’ve been focused on only elite athletes, you are leaving so much on the table.
Working with elite athletes is exciting and rewarding. And, you also know that they are often broke on the way up. They can barely pay for your services.
On the other hand, someone who likely has more education, a more stable career, and just wants a fun martial arts fitness workout can more easily hire you and keep using your services for a long time.
And, they are going to be much easier to train. You will do less work, and still have a lot of fun. They are thrilled. Everyone wins.
Let’s be honest, you could use some help with your flexibility.
What if you could do rubber guard like BJ Penn?
What if you had the hip dexterity to do kick like Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson?
What if your back was just more flexible, so it didn’t hurt so much?
What if your shoulders had more mobility so you didn’t tap so fast on an Americana or Kimura?
What if you could finally do the splits?
What if you just felt better before you went to sleep each night?
Sometimes you just don’t have enough time (or the desire) to do a full workout. Yet, you know you need to do something.
This is the perfect time to do the 1 Technique + 1 Conditioning Drill Workout.
Here’s how it works:
On the day of your workout, you decide which technique you need to work on most.
We know you’ve seen it, and maybe have even tried it.
You know…. the super-duper, ultra-complex, multi-angle, compound circuit, training day that looks far more like a circus act than a training protocol for combat athletes.
Yes, you do learn hundreds of scientifically proven training routines and principles in the MMA Conditioning Coach Certification course. However, you don’t need to combine all of them in any single workout. And, it’s unlikely you need all of them in a full season of training for any single athlete.
Your job is to have a massive toolbox of knowledge and skills. Then, you carefully select the best possible combination for the task at hand.
We’ve all been surprised more than once by watching the outcome of a fight.
Right when you think you have it figured out, the striker gets in close on a grappler and gets choked out. Or, a really talented boxer is struggling to get inside on a strong kicker and takes a hard high kick to the cheek.
There are 1 million other scenarios that have played out.
This is what makes MMA so exciting and difficult to predict an outcome.
We’d like you to have that same open mind when it comes to the fitness and conditioning for you and your athletes.
One type of strength training (Olympic lifting as an example) may not give you what you need. In this case, there is no rotational movements, and martial arts are all about rotation.
Here’s another example: [Read more…]
