Manifesto
The Coach’s Manifesto
I have the GREATEST job in the world. My 13-year career in coaching has been a dream come true in so many ways. I’ve been able to really fit, build great relationships, and learn a whole lot about people.
Perhaps the most interesting thing that I’ve learned (and the one thing that still amazes me), is how much people underestimate their potential. That’s right! Many of us have NO idea what we are truly capable of. Helping individuals break through their self-imposed barriers, is the most challenging and rewarding aspect of my job. Even on those frigid winter mornings at 5:40 am, I still absolutely thrive on it!
Looking back, I feel the key to my success as a coach has always been my integrity. I didn’t just stumble into this profession - I CHOSE to do this! I believe that athletics are a metaphor for life. Helping people become better athletes, will help them perform better in the broader context of LIFE. I will never sugar coat reality so you can feel better about yourself in the short term. I want you to be the best that you can be, and I’ll tell you what you need to know to succeed. Remarkably enough, most people seem to appreciate that.
So enough about me…this site is for you! Drop in whenever you like for inspiration, education, and the occasional dose of “real life” fitness comedy.
Yours truly,
Marvin Mitchell
