Coaching draws on many different influences. For most people the word itself is connected with sporting activities and it is easy to understand how the relationship between performer and coach works in that setting. The sporting connection also offers some useful comparisons that can help make the case for coaching. Sports coaches are rarely better performers than the people whom they coach. In fact many top sports coaches these days were fairly average performers but recognize that good coaching is not about passing on skills but about being a catalyst to the development of the coachee(s). Coaching also draws on many principles from psychotherapy such as the need to establish the boundaries of the working relationship and the importance stressed on active listening. In coaching at work we can also wee many parallels with Organization Development and Management Training. Many of the structured psychological models such as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Transactional Analysis (TA) have enjoyed something of a renaissance alongside the rising popularity of coaching.
I believe that it is these diverse influences that have led to the fragmentation of the coaching approach and the different branches of the profession that are emerging. For the purposes of this article I will concentrate on the main three. Firstly, we have Life Coaching. This normally takes place at the behest of an individual who wants some help in resolving issues in one or more parts of their personal life. This can often involve coaching around relationship difficulties, making a career change, retirement or any of life’s significant turning points. Where the Life Coach uncovers some deep rooted, serious issue such as physical abuse or spiralling debt they will normally refer their client for more specialist help.
Then there’s Executive Coaching which is normally brought in to help the senior team manage a piece of significant change such as a merger or acquisition. Many Executive coaches are accomplished business people themselves and probably need that credibility to get through the door and make a start. It follows that much of what they do can be thought of as more like consultancy than the coaching I’ve described here, but that is of little consequence to the executive who feels they’ve been helped. Finally we have what we might call manager-coaching (for want of a better term). This is coaching undertaken by the manager or team leader as part and parcel of their role and for the benefit of their team members. This is the most impactful type of coaching in my view and the one on which the rest of this book will concentrate.
Despite the variety of influences and the differing types of coaching now on offer, there appears to be a number of common elements that create a philosophy of coaching. Coaching adopts the same stance as humanistic psychology in its intention to bring about the release of potential. There is a nod toward existentialism in the notion that people are not hapless victims but always have choice and that their behaviour is a result of the choices they make. We can see a lot of Eastern influences in coaching in the emphasis placed on operating the present and in the belief that people are equipped with all that they need to be productive. Finally, coaching adheres to the constructivist principle that there is no one single version of truth or reality.
My aim in writing this and my many other articles concerning how coaching compares has been to ‘ring fence’ coaching so that we can understand how it fits with the other things we do as part of people management. The purpose of managing people at work is to get the job done well and help our team members take advantage of any opportunities that doing the job well presents. Coaching encompasses both of these points because it is performance focused but person centred.
We know that coaching shares aspects of instructing, mentoring, counselling and so on but also has important distinctions. Coaching requires no expertise or background on the part of the coach. Whist instructing and training are effective at developing initial skills and abilities, coaching has proven the most effective way of developing higher skills once people have reached a point where they need to develop in their own unique way. In truth, a good coach – in the widest sense of the term – will probably move from ‘tell’ to ‘coach’ and back again within the course of any coaching arrangement. Their concern will be with developing people, not with labelling the type of development they’re doing.
Coaching draws on a wide range of influences such as sport, management development and the helping professions. This has led to a fragmenting of the profession and the emergence of specialisms such as Life Coaching and Executive Coaching. However all coaching has unifying principles including recognizing different versions of reality, working in the present and seeing the individual as resourceful, with all the potential they need to achieve their goals.
Let me leave you with a tip. . .
Before you do anything else get together with the people whom you’ll coach and decide on a working definition for yourselves. It doesn’t matter if your chosen version doesn’t exactly match an official definition but it must provide a consistent approach that everyone can sign up to.

For every effective strength training program, you need to first take measurements, and track your progress throughout the strength training system. If you did not, how would you know if you have progressed, and what you need to do for the next workout to consistently overload your muscles for strength development and muscle growth?
For the typical strength training program, you should follow either a 4 day or 5 day split. I have done 4 and 5 day splits, and rotate between them, but generally, I like to follow a 5 day split strength training system. Here’s what the 5 day split looks like:
The rule of thumb I follow is to start off the week fresh with the largest muscle groups first, which is why I usually start of with legs and chest on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Strength Training Program – How to Build Strength?
A good strength training program will focus on compound exercises, power lifting exercises, combined with heavy loads and low amount of reps performed. The only way to stimulate strength development and muscle growth is to continually overload your muscles.
Each training session should involve 8 to 10 sets per muscle group – that is it. It may not sound like a lot, but if you’re using heavy weights, that’s all you’ll need, and that’s all you’ll be able to perform. A typical workout might look like this, using chest day as an example:
You can substitute any number of compound exercises in there for chest workout, such as dumbbell press, decline bench press, and incline dumbbell presses.
One of the most effective and efficient ways of developing true strength is using the Static Contraction Training. A strength training system developed by famous author Pete Sisco that focuses on delivering ultra high intensity to provide the maximum overload on your muscles in the shortest amount of time. Using his methods, seasoned weight lifters have made exceptional strength gains including 51% average increase in static strength and 27% increase in one rep max. When was the last time you’ve experienced such explosive gains in strength?
In addition to the aforementioned strength gains, the seasoned lifters also gained an average of 9 pounds of lean muscle mass, with ½ inch gains in biceps, 1 inches gains on chest, and 1. 2 inch gains on shoulders. Does your strength training measure up to these kinds of accomplishments? If not, then it’s time you take a look at the Static Training strength training program.

Strength Training for Motorcycle and ATV Racers
By Coach Marc Spataro
What do you think it takes to ride a motorcycle or ATV at a competitive level for an extended period of time out on the track? Riding experience, skills, guts, a bit of insanity? Yes all of those are needed, but more importantly STRENGTH! The laws of physics are against us here. Our machines can weigh from 250 to 400 pounds and our protective equipment approximately another 30, now throw in gravity and inertia and we have created a force on the body that absolutely requires strength. Every competitive athlete in the world strength trains including golfers……GOLFERS!. Yet so many racers believe that strength training is going to have a negative impact on their riding and racing abilities. Nothing could be further from the truth and I am going to explain why and be the STRENGTH TRAINING MYTHBUSTER!
First myth about strength training is that racers believe they are going to get to big or to muscular. Everyone equates strength or weight training to looking like a body builder. Coming from a body building background let me ensure to you that it takes a lot of food, supplements, a body building style-training program, and drugs to get a physique like that. If your program design is to make you stronger and more functional out on the track you do not have to worry about becoming too big or too muscular, just stronger. Being stronger allows you to maneuver the quad better, push harder under times of pressure, and if you crash or get stuck it can help you get your ATV back in motion.
Second myth, strength training will not develop or improve cardiovascular endurance. Racers who believe this obviously have not worked out intensely enough or have never worn a heart rate monitor during resistance training. Strength training requires a lot of cardiovascular as well as respiratory assistance. Have you ever done a set of squats or dead lifts and not felt your heart pounding through your chest while gasping for air? If not up your weight and reps you pansy. Do you think you are in good shape? If so try doing power cleans at 80% of your max weight to failure (this is when you start to lose good form) immediately drop down and do push ups to failure, then jump back up and do pull ups to failure. Are you breathing hard? Do feel like falling down and crying like a pleeb? Welcome to real world strength training and conditioning, now do 5 sets of that and finish with some wind sprints, stair climbs, and crab crawls and you will know how and why MPT racers are some of the best conditioned racers around.
Myth number three, strength training causes arm pump! No it does not, in fact it will make your hands and forearms stronger, which as expressed in my arm pump article will improve riding ability. Get a grip on some weights and you will get a grip strong enough to hold on to some Baldwin motor power!
So the long and the short of it is strength equals speed and power, who doesn’t want more of that? The quicker and stronger your muscles respond to a reaction the better the chances are that you are going to go faster while controlling your machine! So now strength equals faster lap times, which equates to better placed finishes, isn’t that the over all goal of racing? Still want to walk by those weights in the gym?
Time seems to be an issue with every racer, fitting in your work-outs between working and wrenching always seems to be a limiting factor! Choosing one of the compound strength exercises and performing several sets could be the answer to fitting in a quick and effective work out. Remember some training is better than no training! By doing so you will challenge every system in the body and maintain and hopefully improve the strength you already have. These compound movements should be incorporated into your routine throughout the year. Stick with the suggested exercises and you will soon see why they are at the heart of every athlete’s training program no matter what the sport may be. Well my coaching is done for today, best of luck out on the track and as always if I can help please reach me at www. motoprotraining. com! MS
