KSI L1 Graduate Coach Interview Sebastien Buttigieg
Firstly, congratulations on completing the KSI U Level 1 course! And thanks in advance for taking the time to share your experiences with the reader. To get started, I’d like to ask: 1. How long have you been in the industry and what is your current role? I have been working in the industry for […]
We don’t care, just leave us alone to talk about sets and reps
I’ve really gone out on a limb in the last 6 months to warn as many who will listen and give them a chance to prepare, to take new directions in life. I’ve taken a real risk because I’ve seen how many people opt out when I dare to write about money. It would be […]
What’s all this economy stuff got to do with me as a physical preparation coach?
This is a question that many will be asking. At least those who have not already opted out because their minds apparently can only accommodate things about how to get ripped or similar… Let me explain why I believe this economy stuff is relevant to you. In years to come you can look back with […]
I spoke to xxxx (professional) and they said it can’t be so….
There is a phenomenon in sport, and perhaps life, where decisions are made about potential, possibilities and peoples lives from a remote, authoritarian and dogmatic perspective.

I never get lost – I’m always being told what I should and shouldn’t do….
I’ve a personal joke about never getting lost because in everything I do or go there is always someone keen to tell me what I can or should do or not do! Here are some of the things I have been told I can and can’t do, or what I am. That I chose to […]
Ground hog day for the physical preparation coach
After spending a few hours on the phone with Bruce from the UK a number of points he made struck home. Not that they were new, just that the strength and commonality of the pattern had become distant for me. He spoke of waking up and realizing each day was the same as it was […]
