Outgrowing Your Coach Is Real (But Coach Hopping Is Crackhead Behavior)

Sticking with a coach past the first six months is a great idea if you actually want change, because most people quit before the results even have time to show up. But it’s a bad idea to choose a coach based on vibes alone, and it’s also a bad idea to keep a coach forever if they never assess you, never adjust you, and let you sit in a four-week plateau like it’s a lifestyle.

In this episode I break down how to tell the difference between outgrowing your coach and underreporting your progress. I give you the real checklist for a good coach: clarity on the goal, data you actually track, and a feedback conversation that leads to adjustments, not motivational speeches. You’ll also learn why switching coaches can feel like instant progress even when it’s just novelty, and how to leave clean if you do move on.
