Learn how collaborating with complementary businesses or brands can tap into established communities, creating valuable connections and boosting your visibility. Introduction to Partnerships Definition: A partnership in coaching involves a collaborative relationship with businesses, organizations, or events that expands your reach by leveraging their audience and resources while providing mutual benefits. Identifying Potential Partners For endurance coaches: Consider local running stores, cycling shops, triathlon clubs, and event managers. Hosting events like a "Beginner's Running Clinic" can increase visibility for both your services and the partner’s products. Benefits of Partnering with Industry Brands Collaborate on content creation or promotions with brands related to nutrition, training devices, and sports gear. This can enhance your credibility and connect you with an audience that already needs these products. Creating Win-Win Situations A successful partnership should benefit both parties equally. Clearly articulate what you offer and expect in return to make the collaboration appealing and straightforward for potential partners. Key Takeaways for Effective Partnerships Ensure mutual value: Both parties should gain significantly from the collaboration. Be clear and prepared: Articulate the value you offer and expect before reaching out. Facilitate easy agreement: Present a clear, beneficial plan that saves potential partners time and effort. Next Steps to Forge Partnerships Identify and reach out to potential partners with a simple, effective proposal. Follow up diligently to establish and nurture the partnership. Tools and Resources Use a platform like Training Tilt for efficient digital content and training plan delivery.

8 Reasons to Coach With TrainingPeaks 20:00

hace un año20:00

20:00

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! Today, we're diving into the less-than-stellar side of TrainingPeaks—a platform that seems designed to keep coaches stuck in the crowd. If you’re all about losing your unique brand, letting athletes wander off to a marketplace, and dealing with sluggish tech when you need it most, this episode is for you. We'll break down eight reasons why TrainingPeaks might be exactly what you don’t want, and then we'll chat about an alternative that puts you in the driver's seat. Episode Bullet Points Blending In with the Crowd Your unique coaching style and brand? They get lost under TrainingPeaks’ overwhelming branding. If you’re happy being “just another coach,” then this is the perfect system for you. Losing Athletes to the Marketplace TrainingPeaks pushes generic training plans and competing coaches via their marketplace. Athletes can easily switch out, taking your hard-earned client relationships with them. Sluggish Platform Performance Peak usage times lead to a sluggish, overloaded platform that barely works when you need it most. Ideal for those who enjoy tech struggles on busy Sunday evenings. Lack of Control Over Business Growth The platform is all about growing their brand, not yours—think of it as renting space where they call the shots. Perfect if you don’t mind your business being a small cog in a much larger machine. Intellectual Property on the Loose Your training plans and coaching insights can easily follow an athlete if they decide to switch coaches. If you’re okay with your intellectual property being as portable as it is, TrainingPeaks delivers. Athlete-Driven Business Decisions The platform lets athletes dictate how you run your coaching business, often to the detriment of your vision. Great if you prefer your athletes making the decisions over your professional strategy. Stifling Innovation in Endurance Coaching TrainingPeaks dominates by keeping the industry stuck in the past, slowing down innovation. It’s the spot for those who don’t mind lagging behind as other industries move forward. Overloading Athletes with Confusing Data Instead of empowering athletes, the platform dumps them with metrics they don’t understand. Enjoy the chaos of explaining data and constantly justifying your expertise? Then you’re set. The Alternative: Taking Back Control If you’re over the status quo and ready to reclaim your unique coaching brand, consider a switch to a platform that works with you. Training Tilt offers the tools to run your business your way, without handing over control to a marketplace giant.

Michelle discusses her transition from competitive athlete to coaching and then to helping other coaches create sustainable and profitable coaching businesses.

Michelle counters this mindset, explaining that marketing is about finding and connecting with people who truly need your services, not about selling to everyone. Content Creation as a Tool: Content isn't just for attracting clients; it's a way to clarify your message, improve communication, and become a better coach. Michelle views content as a powerful accelerator for personal and professional growth. Community and Coaching for Coaches: Michelle highlights the value of being part of a community of like-minded coaches who can support and inspire each other.

How to Win Against AI Coaching 18:17

hace un año18:17

18:17

How do you win against AI Coaching? I've been thinking a lot about AI and coaching lately. It's natural and reasonable to wonder about the future role of a coach. Just to be clear, when I talk about competing against AI, I am specifically talking about the platforms and tools that try to replace the coach by coaching athletes directly. You should of course leverage AI to help you do things faster, easier and better. Don't try to compete directly against AI. In other words, you won't beat AI coaching at it's own game. Instead, focus on what AI can't do well and emphasize the unique value you bring as a coach. The future of coaching isn't about competing with AI. It's about doubling down on what AI can't do: creating meaningful relationships, fostering trust, and building communities through shared experiences. Let's explore how you, as a coach, can cultivate these deep relationships that make your clients feel valued—and why this human touch is irreplaceable. In the episode we cover how promoting shared experiences can give you the competitive edge. Including the following ideas; 1. Group Challenges: Build Unity Through Collective Goals 2. Share the Struggle: Virtual and In-Person Meetups 3. The Power of Stories 4. Create Buddy Systems 5.

Celebrating small wins keeps athletes motivated and engaged. Set a Path Forward After the race, what's next? This section covers how to create a recovery plan and set new goals to keep athletes moving forward without burnout. Whether it’s a new race or a fun training challenge, having a plan helps maintain momentum and passion for the sport.

Branding For Coaches: When and Why 23:04

hace un año23:04

23:04

In this episode, we break down the key stages of branding for endurance coaches Branding Isn’t Important When You Start Out Initially, focus on delivering quality coaching and building relationships. Branding can wait until you’ve got a solid client base and at least some consistent revenue. Your Brand Is Your Service Early branding is about how you deliver your coaching, not just logos or color schemes. Your service, philosophy, and client interactions form the core of your brand. Branding Isn’t Your Logo or Business Card A brand goes beyond visuals; it's how athletes perceive you. Consistent, quality interactions build a brand more than any design can. Brand Consistency Builds Trust As your business grows, maintaining a consistent message and visual identity across all platforms helps build trust and loyalty. We explain how this affects client retention. How to Create a Consistent Brand We outline practical steps to establish and maintain a unified brand, from style guides to templates that ensure your visuals and messaging align. When Does Branding Become More Important? Once you’re past the initial growth stage, branding helps you stand out in a crowded market. We explore when to shift focus to branding and why it matters for scaling. A Branded Coaching App with Training Tilt's Ultimate Plan A custom-branded app can create a seamless and personal client experience, reinforcing your brand’s identity. It’s a step up from generic platforms, giving clients a sense of exclusivity and connection. We talk more about our branded offering.

The AI Coaching Hype Cycle 11:41

hace un año11:41

11:41

AI doesn't do a good job of coaching, ignore what the direct-to-athlete platforms tell you about it. They are talking their own book. They won’t replace good coaches any time soon, if ever. Right now, they are just a much better version of a generic training plan. All tech goes through a hype cycle, AI is no different and the AI hype cycle is probably going to be the most extreme tech hype cycle we’ve ever had. I’ve already seen signs of athletes who were initially very excited, begin to lose interest. Boring repetitive workouts Workouts that are consistently too hard or too easy Random workouts showing up in their calendar The funny thing is, this can just as easily happen when you have a coach, but you can have a conversation with your coach and resolve these pretty quickly and move forward. A coach can explain to the athlete that sometimes workouts should be repetative to get the best results, and above all else, the human connection with a coach makes boring repetitive training a lot more fun, to the point where athletes might not even notice that it’s boring. That’s what humans can do for each other. Let’s dig in a bit more to how I think things will play out. I’ll use the typical tech ”Hype Cycle” framework to make a bit of a prediction. The stages are the “Innovation Trigger” , “Peak of Inflated Expectations ”, my favorite, the “Trough of Disillusionment” , the “Slope of Enlightenment” , and finally we settle on the “Plateau of Productivity” Innovation Trigger AI-driven platforms launch, claiming to offer personalized coaching without the need for a human coach. It sounds great—tailored workouts, data analysis, and 24/7 availability. Athletes are excited to try it, especially with the promise of performance improvement, paired with cutting out the cost of a coach. Peak of Inflated Expectations This is where the platforms really crank up the hype. They start pushing the idea that AI can handle everything a coach does. It’s marketed as a perfect substitute, capable of customizing workouts, adjusting on the fly, and reading athletes' needs based on data alone. Athletes jump on board, expecting AI to deliver. But the cracks start showing pretty quickly. Trough of Disillusionment Once athletes start using these platforms, they realize AI has some big limitations. It’s not the game-changer they were expecting. Repetitive workouts : AI lacks variety. After a while, the workouts get boring because they don’t adapt the way a human coach would. Workouts that don’t fit : Athletes start noticing that the training is either too easy or too hard, and the AI doesn’t seem to adjust well to their personal progress or life context, much of which doesn’t show up in the data. Random, unrelated workouts : Sometimes the AI throws in sessions that don’t make sense or aren’t aligned with the athlete’s goals, making the whole experience feel disconnected. At this point, athletes start losing interest, realizing that AI just can’t replace the personal touch and expertise of a human coach. Slope of Enlightenment After the initial excitement fades, it becomes clear that AI isn’t a full-on coach replacement—it’s a tool, or more like an assistant . AI can help with some of the workload—tracking progress, organizing data, or automating simple tasks—but it still needs a coach to provide the real guidance, creativity, and adjustments that athletes need. Athletes and coaches start seeing that AI works best when paired with a coach, not as a standalone solution. Plateau of Productivity Eventually, AI finds its place. It becomes a useful tool to help coaches with the day-to-day stuff, but it’s not trying to take over the relationship. The hype settles down, and AI proves to be a supportive piece of the coaching puzzle, rather than the whole thing. This cycle has played out over and over again with all technology and likely will be very similar with AI coaching. Conclusion AI can assist with creating workouts and providing data insights, but it can't replace the human touch essential for coaching. To truly connect with your athletes, you have to be a coach yourself. AI lacks intuition, empathy, and understanding. It doesn’t know what it feels like to help an athlete push past their limits or guide them through their highs and lows. But AI makes a great assistant. Managing training plans and athlete data can be time-consuming. Some of it is tedious, repetitive, and takes away from what you do best: coaching. That’s why we built tools like our AI Workout Builder and Writing Assistant . They handle the busywork, from generating workouts to fixing grammar and suggesting comments based on your athletes' training data and zones. All while keeping you in control. So you can focus on what truly matters: Building real connections, delivering personal guidance, and empowering your athletes to succeed.
