I've just graduated from university with a degree in Sports Medicine. I have awesome experience as a strength and conditioning coach at both professional clubs and collegiate level. But here's the thing, I want to go travel and I need money. So I've just landed a job as a personal trainer at a run of the mill chain gym in order to earn and save money to hopefully travel and find more experience in the field I'm truly passionate about (working with athletes).
The gym itself is just opening soon so lots of fresh 'leads' (do people actually say leads outside of movies!?). I have the training side down. I'm good at my craft and can definitely make a difference in people. The problem is selling. I have never had to pitch myself (minus interviews) like this before. So I can be as great at training people but it doesnt mean a thing if I don't have a single client!
As far as long term vision I have a strong idea on rates, offers, growing my money etc. I just need to get this damn thing off the ground and make other people realize (and maybe even myself I guess) that I'm the sh*t!
