I want to continue talking about the Hierarchy of Success.
This is the most important piece of all. It trumps just about everything else. Yes, the exercise technique and selection make a huge difference. Selecting or executing poorly can destroy a program or athlete, but they won't make you successful. It the solid and broad foundation of your true attitude, your beliefs, that set the base to grow coaching success upon.

This is the true foundation of your coaching. All of the other stuff is built upon this. If the attitude is wrong, the athletes will see through it. If the attitude is wrong, their motivation will disappear. When your coaching is only based on the specifics of exercise technique and rep/weight selection you've got it upside down.
This key point is why I believe their are some coaches who have a methodology that may be faulty in some ways, but if their Attitude and Approach are lined up, they will be successful with many athletes and in many settings. Attitude and approach can make them successful in spite of their actual training methodology.
- What are your core beliefs that construct your attitude?
- Are you reflecting those in every coaching session and all you are doing?
When you have those, you have the foundation for success.
