Where Do You Start?

You’ve set a goal. You’ve set a destination. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What's next? Now that you’ve decided what you want, how do you get there? Where do you start? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
That’s the role of a coach. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It’s the role of a coach to figure out where you currently are so a path can be laid out to get you where you want to go. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This involves questions and assessments.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
An assessment is your locator. It tells you where you are. It finds areas to work on. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Imagine deciding you are going on a road trip. You set a destination. But your GPS doesn’t locate you. How can it tell you what roads to take? How can it say how far away you are? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It can’t. Without that assessment, starting points are just a guess. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When it comes to people’s health and fitness, I’m no fan of guessing. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I like more certainty than that. ⁠⁠
