Enjoying the process to me is all about learning something from a previous experience. It could be a new cue that you’re implementing in a squat. Finding what works for you, acknowledging it and doing more of it to help you overall in your training.

This tends to happen as the pressure is off due to no comps coming up in the near future, or it’s seen as a time where you take it easy.

This can be broken down into the programming/ training and the nutrition side of things. I’ll explain the obvious benefits behind why a coach is beneficial, also the logic behind why they are worth your money.
