Neuro Athletes,
Let's get one thing straight—if you're just "following the trends," you're already a step behind. Health and wellness is packed to the brim with coaches. The ones who truly succeed aren’t just riding waves; they're shaping them.
They're the coaches high-net-worth clients seek out, the ones who command premium fees, and—most importantly—the ones who deliver undeniable, life-changing results.
Now, if that sounds like the kind of impact you’re looking to make, then this email is for you. These three strategies will not only take your coaching to the next level but will also elevate your value as a coach.
They align with the core teachings of the Neuro Athletics Course, crafted to push coaches like you to the top 1%.
VO2 Max: Your Secret Weapon for Client Resilience
VO2 Max isn’t just a fitness metric—it’s the cornerstone of resilience, longevity, and cognitive vitality. When you understand the science behind VO2 Max, you’re not only enhancing your clients' stamina; you’re also fortifying their brains against the effects of aging. This is what separates the elite 1% of coaches from the rest.
And let’s be honest: most health coaches don’t fully grasp the power of VO2 Max or know how to integrate it into their client assessments to drive both results and revenue.
Quick Tip: Introduce the 4x4 principle of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to your clients: four rounds, four minutes each, just twice a week. This approach is grounded in maximizing efficiency while driving VO2 Max gains that deliver lasting mental and physical resilience. It’s a smart, science-backed addition to any program, giving clients measurable results in minimal time—and positioning you as the coach who knows how to get results efficiently.
Strength Training: The Antidote to Cognitive Decline
Strength isn’t just about building muscle—it’s a direct pathway to cognitive resilience and longevity.
But here’s a tough question: Do you really know how to measure and interpret hand grip strength or assess muscle quality in males vs. females for long-term health? If you’re not integrating precise strength metrics, you’re missing a massive opportunity to give your clients the advantage they deserve.
Testing and understanding strength isn’t something most coaches have mastered, and that’s what separates the elite 1%. The science shows that strength training is directly linked to reducing cognitive decline, and the top 1% of coaches know exactly how to use these insights to protect both the body and the brain.
At Neuro Athletics, we train you to implement this kind of data-driven approach right from your initial client assessments, giving you the confidence to design programs that don’t just perform but preserve brain health.
Sleep: The Ultimate Longevity Tool
Let’s be honest—sleep isn’t just a “nice to have” for your clients. It’s the core of cognitive recovery and one of the most crucial elements for peak performance. But ask yourself: Do you really know how to assess your clients’ sleep quality, or how to optimize it for cognitive resilience? Most coaches don’t—and that’s where the difference lies.
The elite 1% of coaches understand that sleep isn’t something you push off; it’s central to every client’s success. In the Neuro Athletics Course, we teach you the science of sleep and how to make it a priority in your assessments and programming. If you’re not incorporating it from day one, you’re missing a huge opportunity to differentiate yourself and drive real results.
Sleep Optimization Tips for Clients:
Create a recovery zone: Set up a dark, cool, and tech-free environment to support deep sleep.
Consistency is king: Encourage clients to stick to regular sleep and wake times—it’s a game-changer for cognitive and physical performance.
