The Figure Forecast
Welcome back to the pod guys!
This week we're bringing you something a little different to nerd out on!
We have Mr Killian Hamilton joining us today who is the director or programming & innovation at Pre Script; a course both myself and Scarlet highly recommend for any coaches wanting to upskill and truly understand the principles of effective programming, anatomy, and how to truly serve your clients to the best of your ability.
