Our DMV student-athletes of  this generation are all about getting the best sports fitness trainer. Finding a good one is essential to steps of success in their sport. With the abundance of athletic fitness trainers and programs, here’s how you can know one is truly LEGIT:

1 – FOCUSES ON DEVELOPMENT 

A good trainer will create customized workouts you can improve skills, strength, speed and overall performance.

2 – PUSHES YOU BUT KEEPS POSITIVE

You will be challenged, not disrespected, to be YOUR BEST!!! They will also uplift you and foster an environment of encouragement.

3 – LEADS BY EXAMPLE, NOT JUST WORDS

Some talk a good game, brag about their achievements, however, the excellent trainer will demonstrate their good work ethic and discipline. They don’t say it you, they show you!!!

4 – PRIORITIZES SAFETY & PROPER TECHNIQUE 

Good fitness trainers teach correct form, prevent injury, and invest to see you training the correct way for the future.

5 – THEY CARE ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON

A real fitness trainer doesn’t see you as a 💵!!! They care about you. They get to know who you are on and off the field because to them you’re more than a student-athlete.

There are some wonderful fitness trainers here in the DMV, and unfortunately some toxic, cult-like ones. Next time will discover these types that mess over our athletes. Thank you for reading this article.
