Whether you’re new to the game or a savvy veteran, many coaches struggle with designing programs for their clients and athletes.

While some feel challenged because they don’t understand the fundamentals of program design, others may feel hindered by a lack of design systems and principles.

And trust me, I know…because I struggled too when I was getting started!

Creating a program that meets what clients want to achieve with what they need to reach their goals felt like a real challenge, but, as time went on, my process of designing programs has evolved and improved.

So in this episode, I give a broad view of how I design programs for athletes and clients.

I discuss the importance of committing to improvement and having the right mindset for program design.

I reveal the five critical areas I prioritize when designing programs, and describe how my process for writing training programs has changed over time.

I also underscore the role of assessing your clients, creating a vision with them, and highlight the value of remaining flexible when writing and executing a training program.

 

Don’t become a slave to your program. Be malleable. Be flexible. Do whatever is in the best interest of your clients and athletes, and you will be successful. – Mike Robertson
