A good coach knows how to program, but a great coach knows how to build relationships with their athletes to get the most out of them. Chris and Joel not only help you understand the technical aspect of coaching, but also teach the skills needed to develop quality relationships with your athletes. If you are a novice coach just getting started, they help you understand the steps to get your coaching career off the ground. If you already have experience, they help you build upon your foundation. I found the breakouts and one-on-one calls to be both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend joining Chris and Joel’s Coaching Conclave if you want to become a more effective coach!

The Running Coach Conclave transformed the way I view my role as a clinician-coach and helped accelerate my business faster than I could have imagined. The confidence I gained from this mastermind not only boosted my coaching but also made me a better clinician by strengthening my approach to the injury-to-performance spectrum. I appreciated the opportunity to receive honest and expert feedback as I developed and refined my business framework. With Joel and Chris’s guidance, I felt confident that I was moving in the right direction and would be successful in building lasting relationships with my clients by learning how to identify and attract those who align with my coaching philosophy. It’s been almost a year, and I continue to benefit from the resources and connections I gained from working with these two experts. I highly recommend this mastermind for any clinician looking to expand their coaching practice.

I had a fantastic experience with Joel and Chris last fall. I had known that a coaching business was in my future, but as a chronic over-thinker I wanted to know everything about everything before formally starting my business. Both the formal instruction and informal conversations were useful in answering my questions and giving me confidence to take appropriate next steps. Having a diverse group of participants with a variety of personal, coaching, and PT experiences brought a lot to the table. Comments were always insightful, and other peoples’ questions helped to identify my own blind spots and opened up new ways of thinking. I still don’t know everything about everything, but I’ve felt comfortable in starting my business and getting my first few clients up and running.

I’m thankful for yet another opportunity to work with Chris and Joel during their latest endurance offering. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with them regularly for the last eight years. To say their mentorship and programs have benefited my skills as a rehab professional and endurance specialist is an understatement. With their guidance I have been able to make a confident transition from the rehab realm to the performance realm; something I find is a gap most like-minded professionals have to navigate.

The most recent ‘Run Coach Conclave’ was a much-needed addition to my growth as a coach. Understanding appropriate and relative intensity, ventilatory thresholds, how to layer in specific workouts, and managing the nuances of coaching, and athlete timelines were my highlighted takeaways from the course.

It’s always a rewarding day when you can check off some boxes and I can’t thank or recommend Chris and Joel enough.
