Coach Charles

I feel that in any profession you wear many hats. As a baseball coach I felt like as well as being a coach I was a teacher, marketer, fundraiser, travel agent, therapists, groundskeeper and about a dozen other things – but I never personally identified with those roles like I did the coaching one.

As a fitness professional many of those titles probably apply too. Well, maybe not groundskeeper or travel agent;)

But for me, I’m far more passionate about coaching sessions, coaching calls, live events and mastermind meetings than I am about writing sales copy or creating ads.

So I guess what I’m getting at is while it’s important to be balanced and proficient in a variety of areas, I personally identify with what I’m most passionate about. I certainly don’t discount the importance of the other components of my ‘job’ but they are often pieces of the puzzle that allow me to do the stuff I love doing.

You asked some important/key questions.

For me, I consider myself as a teacher, friend, coach, dedicated to my young ladies, education and overall good person. I love to help those in need no matter what the problem maybe.

I believe my job is to help young ladies to play sports, get involved in their community, get a good education, learn how to be a lady and not have children at a early age. I want to teach them how to live in this world of up and downs and how to overcome those issues.

I wish I could open a organization to expand me goals/missions to help more ladies and young men as well.

Thanks, Coach Pat.

I used to play high level ice hockey and, of course, had dreams of playing pro.

My Dad would say: “Why play when you can own the team”?

Never forgot that.

I used think of myself as a Personal Trainer, but that only got me so far and into grief. I think the stigma that goes with the PT label is psychologically limiting. Now I recognize myself as an entrepreneur specializing in health & fitness.

I consider myself a fitness entrepreneur.However my passion is purely coaching clients and learning everyday.Knowledge is power.

I commend you for calling yourself a coach, not a marketer or an internet marketer. But from my perspective, you cannot deny the fact that you are not purely a coach, you are also a marketer and an internet marketer. Is this wrong or should this be something that you’re ashamed of……definitely not!! Why?? simply because to be an effective coach including a successful businessperson in the modern era, you need to have more than one string to your bow, otherwise it would limit your chances of success and ultimately your chance to help the greatest number of people possible. So for me personally, i’m quite comfortable with whatever labels someone puts on me as long as it represents the type/s of work that I do and feels a comfortable fit for me.
