EP. 15 ALEX BUSH- THE ART OF COACHING: FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS
10/06/20 • 54 min
In this weeks episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @alexbush_ from Physique Development about a variety of topics related to coaching.
Unfortunately, with online coaching being easily accessible to a majority malpractice within the coaching space has become a very common issue. Over the course of my career coaching I’ve heard some pretty ridiculous horror stories, people getting scammed, low calorie starvation diets, eliminating macronutrient groups and excessive amounts of cardio, drugs, the list goes on and on.
One of my main goals as an established coach within the evidence based space is to contribute in whatever way I can to help minimize bad coaching practices and help others find the true value of what they’re looking for when working with a coach. Coaches on social feel the impetus for growth. That pressure likely comes from consuming Instagram mainstream, fits, or even business coaching- but before you start chasing dollars as a coach, you must chase passion.
Get really obsessed and being a proactive problem solver and figuring out how to apply knowledge/information/experience based on individual context. Quality coaching means continual and steadfast effort in education and growth for both yourself and your clients. This means your failures, learning lessons, and mistakes should always come before your clients like a shield for their results.
Being excellent at your job is going to serve as the foundation for your client experience and given your work speaks for itself, your clients will do your marketing for you which will allow you to scale long term.
The expectation shouldn’t be perfection, rather continuous skill acquisition and consistent improvement over time. Tune into our full discussion to find the true value of what you need to be doing as a coach to level up your game!

EP. 14 CLIFF WILLSON- MINDSET IS EVERYTHING: BREAKING THROUGH BARRIERS
Your subconscious mind is always listening to and believing everything you repeatedly say and think about yourself. If you want proof of this principle in action, look no further than your current unconscious behaviors or beliefs. Many of them were created in this same way- from repeatedly hearing a message, either from ourselves or those around us. You can use positive self-talk to override negative programming by erasing or replacing it by consciously practicing, thinking, feeling, visualizing and acting differently- embodying the change you want to cultivate.
I’m a strong believer that how you wake up each day, how you go about your morning routine plays a huge role in every facet of our lives. If you start your mornings off unfocused, laying in bed, constantly focusing on what’s happening in your external environment, then that will cause you to have an unproductive day and mediocre quality of life. If you start your morning off focused, with intent, a proactive mindset, then that will produce focused, productive days. By directly changing our attitude when we wake up in the morning, you can radically change the tone of your day. Eventually that energy will flow into other areas of your life.
Now, while there’s some uncertainty these days due to Rona, doesn’t mean you can’t still progress toward your goals! It starts at the basic of levels by setting short term/long term, (quantifiable) realistic goals. Whether that be a 30 minute walk in the morning/evening, or committing to a structured resistance training program- you enjoy and can adhere to.
Start with a few small behavior/habit changes, then gradually add in more as you successfully work your way to a sustainable change. This is a slower process, but it is what is necessary— having a proper foundation will allow you to thrive. Trying to totally revamp your health in one shot is overwhelming and often times it's unsustainable. So this week, pick up a new habit that you know will make a difference in your life. It can be anything!
This was just one of the topic of discussions I managed to cover when speaking with @cwteamwillson on the latest episode of Anabolic Radio. Tune into the full episode to understand the true value of the mindset that's required to achieve your best self!

EP. 16 MATT JANSEN- CHAMPION MENTALITY: FOUNDATIONS OF COACHING
In this episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of speaking to New MR. O Title Holder Matt Jansen of Camp Jansen. Matt has coached 16 IFBB pros to the Olympia in Mens Open, 212, figure and women's physique divisions. Among those athletes (not including the 5 qualifications for 2018) he has had four top 5 finishes, and three top 10 finishes.
To this day one of the things he enjoys most within coaching is helping amateur athletes attain pro status, he relates it much like to the passion of college athletics in that there is a lot less stress involved in outside factors and pure joy when the goal is accomplished. Over his coaching career Matt has helped 12 athletes attain IFBB pro status in figure, bikini, women's physique and mens bodybuilding. Some of the top names he has worked with throughout his career are Justin Compton - who he attributes a lot to for believing in him when he was un proven and bringing other top athletes to him, Dallas McCarver who grew to be best friends with Matt and was Matt's first Olympian.
We dive into Matt's backstory and foundations within coaching in this episode. If you took something valuable away from it don't forget to leave a like and share!
