Don’t Be Confused

Hey, hope you’re doing well and have the right mindset going into another week. I know I do as this weekend many ‘To Do’ lists were prepared around the Rizor household… shelving for the garage, new equipment for the gym, new light fixtures, basement redesign, etc. The list goes on..

If you’re following me on Twitter (follow me here) and Facebook (are we friends yet?) you also know I’m in the process of convincing the Mrs. that we need a new truck… I mean SUV.

2009

We test drove one Saturday morning in the rain – had to see if she was comfortable in the big rig. Turns out Kel really liked it, enough to sit and talk numbers. Then the strangest thing happened. The dealership owner (who’s a friend) worked on some figures and slid the paper across his desk in our direction. We looked down, looked at the numbers, looked at each other, and without saying a word we both had the same thought: “We’ll, that was fun. Felt good to drive a new vehicle, but this guy is out of his G-D mind if he thinks we’re paying that for a vehicle.” Back to the drawing board and back to the internet to find the truck of my (our) dreams. Wish me luck!

I really hope you’re not confused. I mean, with all the info I give you guys at workouts and on my blog I hope you’re still not under the impression a strength & conditioning coach and personal trainer are the same thing. With respect to personal trainers, I can tell you the #1 difference between their goals and mine lie in the depth of program design.

My goals for athletes, boiled down into the simplest terms are improved strength, speed, and conditioning. Athletes have to be strong to be fast. The have to be fast if they ever hope to play, and you gotta be in shape otherwise everything else is for nothing.

I bring up the topic of strength & conditioning coach and/or personal trainer because of a conversation I had last week. “All yea Ryan, I get it. You’re like a personal training or something.” I’ll take the ‘or something’. Take a look at this article and see what others have to say about the S&C coach vs. personal trainer debate. http://tinyurl.com/yd89zhu
