466. It is OK to Charge for Drop-Ins
We read an email today that sparked a conversation around whether or not box owners should charge for drop-ins.
If it sounds ridiculous, that's because it is a little ridiculous.
In this episode we give you some best practices as to how to best handle situations like this.
Spoiler alert: it does not begin with you replying to that ridiculous email.
Before you send any type of response (if you choose to send any at all), ask yourself: "Is this for me? Or is it for them?"
The answer is almost always the former.
And if that is the case, your reply to that ridiculous email is not worth sending.

465. No one gets out of bed in the morning hoping to be mediocre
Affiliate Owners: your coaches want feedback.
Coaches: If you are not receiving feedback, ask for it.
If nothing changes and you become unhappy with your situation, then change it.
You are not married to your affiliate.
Mediocrity is achieved on both ends of this spectrum when communication falls apart.
You didn't wake up this morning hoping to just do "OK" today. You woke up aiming to achieve great things.
Level up your coaching staff to that same degree by offering feedback.
In that same vein, coaches, if you are not receiving the feedback you desire, ask for it or seek it out elsewhere.
Stop blaming your situation and everyone besides yourself.
Take action.

463. Coaches doing that, but better
What if the people you spend the most time with in your day are CrossFit trainers and coaches who want nothing more than to get better while progressing the sport forward?
You would have to assume the only way you could go is up.
And that is exactly what happens in the Best Hour Coaches Development Group.
Tune in to hear all about how to become a better coach, how to navigate imposter syndrome on that journey, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people on the same high-achieving course that you are on.

462. Discipline = Freedom
Stand firm in the rules you set in place for your affiliate.
If the price is the price...then it is the price.
Be impeccable with your word. Set the line in the sand. Hold firm on it, deliver on it, and do not come off of it.
They are your rules to break, but you should not break them because you feel pressured to do so.
It is not your members fault, it is what you are allowing them to do.

458. You get Better at Coaching by Studying the Movements
Which movements, you ask?
Why not begin with CrossFit's 9 foundational movements.
To become a better coach, you have to get better at seeing and correcting. That way, no matter what type of athlete walks into your class - a great mover or a not so great one - you will be ready.
Know the points of performance. Know where to look for faults. Study the movements by coaching.
