Podcast: Self Righteousness in the Fitness World

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
