1. Education is more important than awards

“First of all, you need to pay attention to the education of a person and his“ services to the Fatherland ”. Having certificates of participation in domestic and international competitions and championships does not matter if your coach does not have an education, ”writes lady.mail.ru.

Therefore, when you first meet with a coach you need to inquire about the education of the person to whom you are handing care about your health and beautiful figure.

2. Scrabble or simple jock?

The second very important point is the level of this knowledge. And this applies not only to knowledge in the field of the training process, but also in basic disciplines such as anatomy, biology, biomechanics and chemistry. Without them you can not make an athlete from a drischa.

3. One size fits all

Another important point is the understanding that people are all very different, approximately, like fingerprints or auricles. It is not enough to have knowledge of training for all 3-4 programs, in order to achieve results with the client. Any trainer, as a professional (and as a high school student), should keep a training diary. Even if you have been practicing for a long time, you will not physically be able to remember all the nuances of constantly improving exercises related to the adaptive changes of your body. Therefore, it is very important that the trainer keeps a training diary and records all intermediate results there, and shared them with you, of course, so that there is something to celebrate after a workout.

4. Coach is not interested in your life

Any good trainer will not start the training process without knowing about your health condition, your goals, your training experience, and this should not depend on whether you are a professional athlete or a newcomer. This information is the most important base. An industry professional will always know about your daily routine, work, diet, water consumption habits and your recovery mode. If the coach does not ask such questions, then it shows that he is not professional enough (and also self-centered and selfish).

5. Health is paramount

Of course, if you have any health restrictions, especially related to problems of the musculoskeletal system, then a good coach will always ask a question about this and refer you to an additional examination by a doctor. For example, if you have a protrusion or hernia in the vertebral department, then the professional will always bother to check with the doctor what kind of hernia: medial or paramedial. Even if it doesn’t mean anything to you, then for a coach a set of exercises will depend on it.

6. Coach must motivate

A trainer is your main motivator for practicing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Before the training, wait for questions about what you have eaten today, and after that - about your health, whether the muscles hurt, what level of pain, how you feel. A trainer is not just a person who gave some kind of exercise and forgot about your existence, this is a person who forms your new lifestyle, almost the best friend.
