Kobe. Michael. Tiger.
What do they all have in common?
It’s not only that people would know who they are, by only stating their first name.
They all hired coaches to help them improve. Even when they were at the top of their sport.
There are 2 main reasons why people hire coaches and you should too.
- Accountability:
Much research shows that it’s more likely that you’ll follow through on a given task when someone is expecting you to complete it.
When it comes to your health, what things aren’t you doing as often as you would if someone was checking on you to complete them?
Would you eat better if someone was tracking what you eat?
Would you exercise more if someone was tracking when you show up to the gym?
Would you get to sleep earlier if someone was making sure you got enough sleep?
Our research of clients over the last 10+ years when measuring their outcomes and consistency is clear.
When someone is holding you accountable to get things done; you’re more likely to get things done and reach your goals.
- Experience:
Learning from mistakes, or trial and error is one way to learn what to do, and not do. However, that’s an expensive and lengthy way to learn.
The fastest way to learn and speed up how quickly you will see results is by real life experience. When you hire a great coach, you will now learn from there experiences and from their mistakes. This will save you time and money.
A great coach will have learned from experience in working with hundreds or thousands of clients; and sharing what they learned with you will speed up how quickly you can reach your goals. They’ll help you avoid similar pitfalls they have dealt with in the past. Thus saving you from repeating them.
Kobe, Michael and Tiger all have said that they were not the most physically gifted or talented athletes in their sport. Each of them gave praise to the value of their coaches that helped them get to where they are.
Sure, you can do it on your own. However, the odds are against you.
Many people try to lose weight, get healthy and stronger on their own and struggle. Then they give up because they aren’t seeing results.
Instead, if it’s important, they should invest in a coach.
The truth is that people pay attention to what they pay for.
Don’t just hire the cheapest, or the most “Insta-famous”.
