Studying to Coach

[brown bomber]

Hi folks...

Just after a bit of advice really, I'm trying to further my understanding of coaching by studying academically as well as visiting gyms to see how sucesful coaches train their fighters.

So far I have passed the BBBC training course for a professional trainer and passed my REPS level 2 Fitness Instructor Course where i passed with 279 out of 280 on my planning, teaching and evaluating and 85% on my theory.

I'm about to begin my level three Personal Trainer Qualification which will allow me to be a YMCA accredited personal trainer but what else can I study?

Thanks in advance.

well done Jeff so far

IMO the best training is done in the gym for you hang around the sparring and all that with other trainers etc...

my grandad did courses in motivation they might do you good

Maybe look into NLP courses to improve an athlete's performance?

dont know if it would be feasible for you jeff but it would be a great learning curve to travel to learn. help out at gleasons in new york, wild card, romanza mexico city, couple in puerto rico etc etc id say that you would pick up mad knowledge doing that

wisdom... you cant teach wisdom...

you need to have your own outlook on things if you wanna be a trainer, tell the fighter what you truly believe, not what some qualification tells you to do.....

hear teddy atlas, he speaks some shitttt, but it all makes sense in the end..... you think hes chatting shit until he makes a point.. like fight night round 4, talking about gardening and shit... and his kids running to the dinner table....

its all unique.. wot gets a fighter motivated... u need to study people bruv, to understand how a fighter thinks

(aswell as the boxing knowledge)

Sounds like your doing all of the right things Jeff.

I highly recommend attending the Crossfit trainer level 1/2 seminars - these are held at Crossfit Manchester every now and again. In addition to this, try to get some Oly lifting experience under your belt - go to [Only registered and activated users can see links] and view the level 1/2 weight training courses (very worthwhile). Crossfit and BWLA, in addition to your current experience should see strength and conditioning covered. You also seem well versed in the fundamentals of boxing, so keep doing what you are doing on that front.

I would also highly recommend Yoga. Have a look here [Only registered and activated users can see links] There is a training section on the website.

Keep up the good work.

IOM ABC, Jeff.

IOM ABC, Jeff.

Nice one, I remember one of my mates boxing one of your lads in the aba's - he was a light middleweight and he boxed a lad called ash delaney. He was a proper nice chap and he and Ashley got on really well so it was a bit awkward, think Ashley stopped him in the third- he was a little too big!

[Dan684]

Alright Jeff.

I'm waiting now until I get a job closer to home before I start looking to coach. I work in Milton Keynes but live in Manchester so even will a couple of quals i'd find it hard getting into a club as i can't guarantee i'd be there. Cheers for the help though and best of luck

Interesting... small world we live in, Jeff. Can't remember who it was that Ashely fought can you?

[cool-cat]

you could take up a cousre in nutrition. cant remeber name of company but you can see adds about in some of those magazines.

[paloalto00]

I would say learn a bit of sports medicine, and just help out at a local gym for some experience.

[brown bomber]

I'm doing a degree in Business management, on the course will be things about motivating etc... think that will be perfect. Studying something else next year.

[AVFCMagicMan]

Interesting thread with some good information in so cheers lads :good

What kind of course would people recommend for me to be able to do some kind of personal training, possibly involving boxing on a 1-on-1 basis. You know, the kind of trainers you see in parks showing people the correct form for exercise, diet and stuff like that (basically personal training to make money until i'm old enough to box pro)
