UpLaunch Onboarding Call and Weekly Check In With Online Client
As has been the case in past weeks, Thursday started off with a chilly morning training session with one of my soccer athletes.
When we got there the sun wasn’t up over the hill and it was in the low 50’s. We got to talking and decided to push the next session back fifteen minutes to 715am to give us a little more time until the sun comes up.
Anyway, we got started and I found out her tournament went really well. She scored a game winning goal to send her team to the finals and then she scored the championship winning penalty kick as well! I was very happy to hear that and so proud of her. Her father was appreciative as well when he was talking about her play during the tournament. He said he could see a real difference in the way she was moving and playing. She said she feels a lot better and stronger, like she is able to play more aggressively and take on opponents. As a speed coach this is music to my ears as I love hearing her talk about her progress and how she feels she is improving.
We got warmed up and built on what we had been doing the past couple sessions. Improving her lateral movement and hip movement. Her plyometrics were designed to build lateral explosiveness and then transitioning to a forward movement. We did a lateral jump into a jump squat. This worked what we were trying to develop. We got a lot of great work in during the session and made some real progress.
On the way home I stopped at Walmart to grab some groceries and when I got home I cooked some chicken and asparagus. I finished cooking and got to work answering emails and getting my homework for the OTA done. At 1145 I had my onboarding call with UpLaunch which is our CRM software to help manage our members and prospects. We went over a bunch of features it has and ones that we will be using for our gym. They have a ton of great features which I can’t wait to pass along to our members. It looks very easy to use and their support team has been top notch so far. I am very pleased working with them and can’t wait to do more. We ended the call and set up another one for next Thursday to really get into the details and answer any questions we may have.
Once the call ended I got ready and went to get a workout in at the gym. It was a chest and tricep workout and it felt really good to get in there and push myself. I got all the exercises done that I wanted to and then I went home to pick up Champ and head over to our gym. I had a client coming in at 430 I had to prepare for. When I got there I actually did a couple more exercises because I was feeling good and knew I could get some extra work in.
By the time I was done working out my client showed up. We had just started working together online. I provide her with workouts to do throughout the week and then she asks me if she has any questions and we agreed to meet once a week on Thursday to check in and workout together. When she got there it was her fourth day in a row and she was feeling a little sore but good overall. We touched base on how it went and she said the workouts were feeling good and she was working hard. The meals were going pretty good as well which I was happy about because that’s the hardest part of any plan. We had a good time talking and catching up and our workout was focused on the upper body.
We finished up the workout and then it was time for me to leave. I had to get home and start working on Module 2 of the OTA as I got approved to move on to the next one. I couldn’t wait to dive in and get started on the module. This program has been helping a lot already and am motivated to make it work for us. I spent the rest of the night working on the module and homework. I had a couple videos to watch and some reading to do along with the work. After a few hours I finally decided to put myself to bed.
Thanks for reading!
Until tomorrow,
