Everyone intrinsically knows their thoughts and emotions can affect their physical function, but how, and why? Join JP for some of the detail on how our mental, emotional and physical systems interact, how they can literally prevent physical function, and what strategies you can offer, within scope, that will lead to high performance in all realms.
JP has collated information and techniques over the past decade, from many disciplines, that will engage, fascinate and add new perspectives and skills to your trainer toolbox. This knowledge has been described as essential to the coaching role by those who have taken the education previously, and offers you the confidence to manage your clients as human beings, not just human bodies.
Suggested Pre-requisite:
- CIMSPA: L2 Gym / Group Ex
Aims and objectives of course:
- Create student awareness of the inarguable fact that no system works alone
- Provide evidence-based information detailing how the mind, brain, emotions and body interact
- Demonstrate ways in which the student can use this information to benefit all client sessions
- Create a more holistic understanding of the coach-client relationship
