Hey, it’s Coach Tarek,

The idea for High-Performance Coach was born after speaking to a frustrated fitness coach.

A bunch of his clients were failing to follow his advice and show up to sessions consistently.

Eventually losing some of these clients.

Here’s the thing: 

Low client show up rates and lack of engagement are a big problem for fitness coaches and trainers.

The problem seems to be getting worse, especially post-covid.

I figured a lot of clients (and coaches) lacked the mental skills which create lasting, positive change in clients and greater levels of engagement.

It’s an easy mistake to make.

We put so much attention on technical knowledge of training, movement, creating programs, etc… but we end up neglecting the mental side to coaching.

Which is as important (if not more important).

Limiting beliefs, mental blockages, and our overall mental game plays a huge role in how successful we are in developing new habits. 

As a coach, if you’re unable to communicate and navigate the present mindset of your clients before those new habits kick in, you run the risk of losing them.

If your clients are experiencing internal battles, they might not possess the mental fortitude to stay consistent with you over the long-term.

But, if you possess the ability to coach your clients physically and mentally, your value as a coach skyrockets.

You clear the path to creating a positive, long-lasting change in your clients (and yourself).

Creating higher levels of engagement and enjoyment in your sessions and the client’s fitness journey.

Therefore in my opinion, this is what it means to be a…​​

High-Performance Coach

The concept of a High-Performance Coach was born. 

I joined forces with TWO leading experts in the field of mental skills to create the brand new High Performance Coach Program.

It’s a 6-month mentorship journey with the sole aim of transforming you into a High-Performance Coach.

This time investment pales in comparison to the longevity these skills could provide you throughout your career.

You’ll be equipped with all the tools to handle the mental side of training.

So you and your clients develop high-performance habits that create meaningful, positive change which leads to long-term success.

Making sessions and the fitness journey more engaging, enjoyable, and impactful.
