Getting my foot in the door with coaching experience?
I've just started my SS journey a few months ago and I know I have a long way to go before I can consider even taking the SSC test at a seminar. I know that the first thing I need to do is to get through my own novice progression and spend a good amount of time in my intermediate progression. I can do that with time, training, food and sleep. The next thing I'd need is coaching experience. You guys recommend to have at least a thousand hours coaching regular people through their own novice progressions.
This is where I'm a bit unsure how to proceed. How can I start to coach people if I don't have the experience? It's been recommended to me to coach friends and family but it's very difficult to get people interested in strength training who aren't already interested. You can lead a horse to water.. I'd be willing to train people for free if it helped me get experience.
Do you guys have any advice on how I'd be able to get my first "clients"? Is it just a matter of letting my results speak for themselves?
I'm just an ordinary engineer full time and I don't have any exercise degrees or anything close to a physiological background.
How did you guys start getting your first clients?
