As coaches, our job is to educate and help people move one step closer to their goals — but that’s not where it ends.
Just as our students come to us to improve, we owe it to them (and to ourselves) to keep getting better too. Not only in the areas we’re already confident in, but especially in the areas we haven’t explored enough.
For this Throwing workshop, our students asked why are we learning things that don’t seem directly related — like throwing in Pilates or gymnastics?? But throwing is a full-body action. Power travels from the feet, through the core, and into the hands. Without good connection, strength alone can’t take you far — and relying purely on brute force often leads to chronic injuries.
Learning alongside athletes, sports coaches, and physiotherapists has been a humbling experience for us. What we take away doesn’t just enhance athletic performance — it helps us better support students dealing with chronic pain from poor body awareness and inefficient movement patterns.
Growth doesn’t stop once you become the coach. That’s where responsibility really begins.
