Summary
Matt & Niki explore tactile cues: different types, how & when to use them for in-person and online coaching.
Oh, and how do you pronounce tactile? Is it like "tactical?"
Tactile Cues vs Verbal & Visual Cues
Tactile cues, as you may have guessed, involve you as the coach or an object touching the lifter.
Tactile Cue Challenges
You need to build trust with your lifter, so ask if it's okay to touch the lifter to correct their technique, and touch them professionally. There are some situations where you may simply want to avoid touching lifters. Matt, for example, used to coach junior high females.
What physical cues can you use in online coaching?
Adjusting the lifter into correct technique is impossible. You may recommend the lifter gets an in-person session with a coach if you trust.
There are ways, however, to bring attention to a body part or impose a physical limitation.
The lifter or person close to the lifter may touch the lifter to bring attention to a body part. You don't have to be a coach to touch someone's low back or mid-sternum.
Setting up a band or TUBOW, as well, can be done with online coaching.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.1 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real |
| 0:27.8 | life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal |
| 0:31.9 | barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they |
| 0:36.5 | are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they |
| 0:40.7 | care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that |
| 0:45.6 | price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for |
| 0:48.9 | something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully |
| 0:53.0 | deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they |
| 0:57.3 | invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that |
| 1:01.8 | you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this |
| 1:05.6 | sounds like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to |
| 1:10.6 | four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we |
| 1:14.8 | will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case |
| 1:19.3 | scenario is it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest |
| 1:24.1 | in yourself and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only |
| 1:28.0 | risk is about on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where |
| 1:32.4 | your goals are. Get matched with your coach now at barbelllogic.com slash coaching. |
