Results Reporting and Why It Matters
Results Reporting and Why It Matters One of the most integral aspects of my coaching approach that tends to get overlooked is results reporting. The athletes that work with me understand this but my perception is that athletes who haven’t worked in a similar system do not. I don’t mean just logging that a session happened, but actually communicating what happened inside of it. There is a meaningful difference between those two things, and athletes who understand that difference tend to get a lot more out of their programming. The short version is this: when I get quality feedback, I can create the highest quality progressions I am capable of. When I get a check mark, I create more generic ones. What Quality Feedback Actually Looks Like Most athletes default to objective reporting. They'll tell me they hit a 5x5 back squat at 275 pounds and that's it.
