You're listening to Barbel Logic, brought to you by Barbel Logic Online Coaching, where

each week we take a systematic walk through strength training and the refining power of

voluntary hardship.

You're listening to the Barbel Logic podcast, I'm Matt Reynolds, Happy Holidays, everyone.

I'm here with my good friend, PBC Coach, and director of the Academy, CJ Goacher, welcome

to the show, sir.

Oh, great to be here.

You've been a guest host many times on the podcast, everyone should know you at this point.

We get a lot of questions and have received quite a few questions from our Academy students

or people who are interested in coaching.

And again, we have noticed over the last couple of years.

First off, you've done a tremendous job with the Academy, sort of picking up the ball and

running with it, taking it to the maybe from the 50 yard line down to the, to the goal

line.

And we're never going to be satisfied with what we're accomplishing.

But man, you've done a great job of managing that system and recognizing that everyone that

goes to the Academy is not necessarily wanting to be a professional Barbel coach.

And while the Academy is really the prerequisite, that's a hard word to say for becoming a professional

Barbel coach, it's also really good, especially the principles piece of the Academy is great

for just Barbel enthusiasts who are coaching often either self coaching or coaching their

friends and family, their spouse, their kids, their parents, their neighbors or whatever,

maybe have no intention of becoming a professional Barbel coach.
