MASTERING FITNESS COACHING: PART 4 - HOW DO I INCREASE MY CONFIDENCE?
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge out there in the fitness space.

It’s confidence!
All too often coaches doubt themselves, play the comparison game, and waste time overanalyzing their program designs. But coaching isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing who you are and not trying to be someone else.

MORE THAN FACTS & FIGURES
We believe knowledge matters—we are an education company, after all. However, confidence is about so much more than just understanding anatomy and physiology. You have to believe in the value you bring to the lives of others!
We’re on a mission to raise the value of fitness coaches, and we do this through the OPEX Coaching Certificate Program (CCP). Not only will we help you continue to develop your coaching skills, we’ll also help you define your value and build a career doing what you love.
If you’re ready to become the confident coach you’ve always wanted to be, then there has never been a better time. Join the next CCP mentorship group today while spots are still available!
