My "Toolbox"

Just as there are very few people who really wanna train and are dedicatted to achieving their goals there are very few trainers who further educate themselves properly to improve their craft. And come on folks, simply hitting up an NASM or NSCA local seminar for the sole purpose of attaining CEU's is NOT further educating your craft. Can you learn something? Sure, but I believe further educating yourself is far more than attending seminars 3 times a year. I dont believe I have done everything right as a trainer throughout my early years in fact I think alot of what I did minus the last 8 months have been a diservice to my clients. What im trying to say is I have learned more in 8 months than I have my whole life through kinesiology classes at UCO to studying the NSCA handbooks ect.. I found a niche of trainers who were busy getting results instead of writing articles, speaking at seminars, repping their certification behind their name. I studied them, watched the route they take with their clients, saw the results firsthand and then simply applied it to my own practice. I have became friends with strength coaches across the country, each one bringing something new to the table. It's like a "toolbox" so to say, I may not know all the answers to every question or problem that faces me in my gym but I am confident someone in my "toolbox" knows the solution. So I ask you to take a look at what minds your trainer attaches himself to?? Take a look at what he does daily to further his knowledge. What does his "toolbox" look like??
