Did a great Podcast on a topic that I have been pondering a lot lately. Here are some of the topics we went into:
Introduction of myself as a teacher.
How I got to where I am now as a teacher? (quick origin story)
Why is self-righteousness a problem in the fitness/movement world?
Observations as a practitioner and teacher across Fitness and Movement modalities, particularly with "self-importance", especially teaching adults
How is this observation changing my Movement practice and teaching style?
Understanding "fancy skills" vs. developing general athleticism as adults
What are some "red flags" people can look out for when navigating the Movement/Fitness realms (aka how to spot narcissist teachers)
What do you propose we do about this going forward?
How to ask better questions that benefit multiple parties
Lot of thoughts about being a teacher and a student
Plus a reference to Frank Herbert’s Dune, one of my favorite books
