Part of my job as a Coach is to push people. Kindly of course, but to push them past their comfort levels or belief that they can’t do something. I will never encourage a client to do something that I don’t believe they can do. Thus, if I’m pushing – I know they can do it.
For example, I wanted a client to clean the heavy sandbag. I knew she had a light and a heavy one. She was convinced she couldn’t clean the heavy sandbag and she didn’t want to try. So, I had her do a front-loaded squat with the heavy sandbag. Guess how she got the bag up to the front-loaded position? She cleaned it! Just like I knew she could! Once she realized she cleaned it up to that position, she cleaned it again and again!
You never know what you can do until you try. Believe in yourself.
