×Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! Today, we're diving into the less-than-stellar side of TrainingPeaks—a platform that seems designed to keep coaches stuck in the crowd. If you’re all about losing your unique brand, letting athletes wander off to a marketplace, and dealing with sluggish tech when you need it most, this episode is for you. We'll break down eight reasons why TrainingPeaks might be exactly what you don’t want, and then we'll chat about an alternative that puts you in the driver's seat. Episode Bullet Points Blending In with the Crowd Your unique coaching style and brand? They get lost under TrainingPeaks’ overwhelming branding. If you’re happy being “just another coach,” then this is the perfect system for you. Losing Athletes to the Marketplace TrainingPeaks pushes generic training plans and competing coaches via their marketplace. Athletes can easily switch out, taking your hard-earned client relationships with them. Sluggish Platform Performance Peak usage times lead to a sluggish, overloaded platform that barely works when you need it most. Ideal for those who enjoy tech struggles on busy Sunday evenings. Lack of Control Over Business Growth The platform is all about growing their brand, not yours—think of it as renting space where they call the shots. Perfect if you don’t mind your business being a small cog in a much larger machine. Intellectual Property on the Loose Your training plans and coaching insights can easily follow an athlete if they decide to switch coaches. If you’re okay with your intellectual property being as portable as it is, TrainingPeaks delivers. Athlete-Driven Business Decisions The platform lets athletes dictate how you run your coaching business, often to the detriment of your vision. Great if you prefer your athletes making the decisions over your professional strategy. Stifling Innovation in Endurance Coaching TrainingPeaks dominates by keeping the industry stuck in the past, slowing down innovation. It’s the spot for those who don’t mind lagging behind as other industries move forward. Overloading Athletes with Confusing Data Instead of empowering athletes, the platform dumps them with metrics they don’t understand. Enjoy the chaos of explaining data and constantly justifying your expertise? Then you’re set. The Alternative: Taking Back Control If you’re over the status quo and ready to reclaim your unique coaching brand, consider a switch to a platform that works with you. Training Tilt offers the tools to run your business your way, without handing over control to a marketplace giant.

In this episode, endurance coach and business mentor Michelle Lake shares invaluable insights for endurance coaches looking to grow their businesses. Michelle discusses her transition from competitive athlete to coaching and then to helping other coaches create sustainable and profitable coaching businesses. Some of the key takeaways include: The Power of Niching: Michelle emphasizes the importance of defining your niche to attract the right clients. By being specific, you resonate deeply with your ideal audience rather than trying to appeal to everyone and connecting with no one. Marketing Misconceptions: Many coaches believe marketing diminishes their credibility. Michelle counters this mindset, explaining that marketing is about finding and connecting with people who truly need your services, not about selling to everyone. Content Creation as a Tool: Content isn't just for attracting clients; it's a way to clarify your message, improve communication, and become a better coach. Michelle views content as a powerful accelerator for personal and professional growth. Community and Coaching for Coaches: Michelle highlights the value of being part of a community of like-minded coaches who can support and inspire each other. She also discusses how investing in coaching can accelerate business growth and overcome common hurdles. Dream to Six Program: Michelle introduces her flagship program, designed to help coaches transform their side-hustle coaching into full-time, profitable careers, with a goal of reaching six-figure incomes.

How do you win against AI Coaching? I've been thinking a lot about AI and coaching lately. It's natural and reasonable to wonder about the future role of a coach. Just to be clear, when I talk about competing against AI, I am specifically talking about the platforms and tools that try to replace the coach by coaching athletes directly. You should of course leverage AI to help you do things faster, easier and better. Don't try to compete directly against AI. In other words, you won't beat AI coaching at it's own game. Instead, focus on what AI can't do well and emphasize the unique value you bring as a coach. The future of coaching isn't about competing with AI. It's about doubling down on what AI can't do: creating meaningful relationships, fostering trust, and building communities through shared experiences. Let's explore how you, as a coach, can cultivate these deep relationships that make your clients feel valued—and why this human touch is irreplaceable. In the episode we cover how promoting shared experiences can give you the competitive edge. Including the following ideas; 1. Group Challenges: Build Unity Through Collective Goals 2. Share the Struggle: Virtual and In-Person Meetups 3. The Power of Stories 4. Create Buddy Systems 5. Coach-Athlete Adventures You can read the full blog here You can watch the video version here Training Tilt is an all in one coaching and e-commerce platform that helps coaches get better results for the clients and their businesses.

Introduction In this episode, we dive into the key strategies coaches can use to help athletes navigate the ups and downs of major races. From managing expectations early to celebrating every effort, learn how to support athletes through their toughest moments and foster resilience for long-term growth. Manage Expectations Early Setting realistic goals and managing expectations starts well before race day. This section explores the importance of regular conversations, realistic performance forecasting, and planning for potential setbacks, all to help athletes face challenges with confidence. Offer a Supportive Post-Race Space After a big race, emotions run high. We discuss how coaches can offer a supportive environment for athletes to process their feelings. From scheduling debriefs to asking open-ended questions, this section is all about leading with empathy and being available for athletes when they're ready to talk. Help Athletes Process Disappointment Constructively Disappointment is a natural part of any athletic journey. Learn how to acknowledge an athlete’s emotions, be honest without pandering, and shift the focus to what can be learned. This section highlights how coaches can help athletes turn setbacks into valuable learning experiences. Encourage Reflection for Long-Term Growth Reflection is key to long-term success. This section discusses how coaches can guide athletes through reflective questions and document lessons learned. Whether it's a great race or a challenging one, capturing these insights helps athletes grow and stay motivated. Celebrate Wins (Even Small Ones) Wins come in many forms, and not all of them involve a medal. Learn how to celebrate progress, perseverance, and effort to ensure athletes feel a sense of accomplishment, even if they didn't hit every goal. Celebrating small wins keeps athletes motivated and engaged. Set a Path Forward After the race, what's next? This section covers how to create a recovery plan and set new goals to keep athletes moving forward without burnout. Whether it’s a new race or a fun training challenge, having a plan helps maintain momentum and passion for the sport. Final Thoughts Coaching is about more than training plans; it’s about guiding athletes through both successes and disappointments. By being a steady, supportive presence, coaches help athletes grow stronger and develop a long-term commitment to the sport. Wrap-Up Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode, we break down the key stages of branding for endurance coaches Branding Isn’t Important When You Start Out Initially, focus on delivering quality coaching and building relationships. Branding can wait until you’ve got a solid client base and at least some consistent revenue. Your Brand Is Your Service Early branding is about how you deliver your coaching, not just logos or color schemes. Your service, philosophy, and client interactions form the core of your brand. Branding Isn’t Your Logo or Business Card A brand goes beyond visuals; it's how athletes perceive you. Consistent, quality interactions build a brand more than any design can. Brand Consistency Builds Trust As your business grows, maintaining a consistent message and visual identity across all platforms helps build trust and loyalty. We explain how this affects client retention. How to Create a Consistent Brand We outline practical steps to establish and maintain a unified brand, from style guides to templates that ensure your visuals and messaging align. When Does Branding Become More Important? Once you’re past the initial growth stage, branding helps you stand out in a crowded market. We explore when to shift focus to branding and why it matters for scaling. A Branded Coaching App with Training Tilt's Ultimate Plan A custom-branded app can create a seamless and personal client experience, reinforcing your brand’s identity. It’s a step up from generic platforms, giving clients a sense of exclusivity and connection. We talk more about our branded offering.

AI doesn't do a good job of coaching, ignore what the direct-to-athlete platforms tell you about it. They are talking their own book. They won’t replace good coaches any time soon, if ever. Right now, they are just a much better version of a generic training plan. All tech goes through a hype cycle, AI is no different and the AI hype cycle is probably going to be the most extreme tech hype cycle we’ve ever had. I’ve already seen signs of athletes who were initially very excited, begin to lose interest. Boring repetitive workouts Workouts that are consistently too hard or too easy Random workouts showing up in their calendar The funny thing is, this can just as easily happen when you have a coach, but you can have a conversation with your coach and resolve these pretty quickly and move forward. A coach can explain to the athlete that sometimes workouts should be repetative to get the best results, and above all else, the human connection with a coach makes boring repetitive training a lot more fun, to the point where athletes might not even notice that it’s boring. That’s what humans can do for each other. Let’s dig in a bit more to how I think things will play out. I’ll use the typical tech ”Hype Cycle” framework to make a bit of a prediction. The stages are the “Innovation Trigger” , “Peak of Inflated Expectations ”, my favorite, the “Trough of Disillusionment” , the “Slope of Enlightenment” , and finally we settle on the “Plateau of Productivity” Innovation Trigger AI-driven platforms launch, claiming to offer personalized coaching without the need for a human coach. It sounds great—tailored workouts, data analysis, and 24/7 availability. Athletes are excited to try it, especially with the promise of performance improvement, paired with cutting out the cost of a coach. Peak of Inflated Expectations This is where the platforms really crank up the hype. They start pushing the idea that AI can handle everything a coach does. It’s marketed as a perfect substitute, capable of customizing workouts, adjusting on the fly, and reading athletes' needs based on data alone. Athletes jump on board, expecting AI to deliver. But the cracks start showing pretty quickly. Trough of Disillusionment Once athletes start using these platforms, they realize AI has some big limitations. It’s not the game-changer they were expecting. Repetitive workouts : AI lacks variety. After a while, the workouts get boring because they don’t adapt the way a human coach would. Workouts that don’t fit : Athletes start noticing that the training is either too easy or too hard, and the AI doesn’t seem to adjust well to their personal progress or life context, much of which doesn’t show up in the data. Random, unrelated workouts : Sometimes the AI throws in sessions that don’t make sense or aren’t aligned with the athlete’s goals, making the whole experience feel disconnected. At this point, athletes start losing interest, realizing that AI just can’t replace the personal touch and expertise of a human coach. Slope of Enlightenment After the initial excitement fades, it becomes clear that AI isn’t a full-on coach replacement—it’s a tool, or more like an assistant . AI can help with some of the workload—tracking progress, organizing data, or automating simple tasks—but it still needs a coach to provide the real guidance, creativity, and adjustments that athletes need. Athletes and coaches start seeing that AI works best when paired with a coach, not as a standalone solution. Plateau of Productivity Eventually, AI finds its place. It becomes a useful tool to help coaches with the day-to-day stuff, but it’s not trying to take over the relationship. The hype settles down, and AI proves to be a supportive piece of the coaching puzzle, rather than the whole thing. This cycle has played out over and over again with all technology and likely will be very similar with AI coaching. Conclusion AI can assist with creating workouts and providing data insights, but it can't replace the human touch essential for coaching. To truly connect with your athletes, you have to be a coach yourself. AI lacks intuition, empathy, and understanding. It doesn’t know what it feels like to help an athlete push past their limits or guide them through their highs and lows. But AI makes a great assistant. Managing training plans and athlete data can be time-consuming. Some of it is tedious, repetitive, and takes away from what you do best: coaching. That’s why we built tools like our AI Workout Builder and Writing Assistant . They handle the busywork, from generating workouts to fixing grammar and suggesting comments based on your athletes' training data and zones. All while keeping you in control. So you can focus on what truly matters: Building real connections, delivering personal guidance, and empowering your athletes to succeed.

In this episode of the "Endurance Coaching Business" podcast, Cam sat down with Taylor Thomas, founder of Thomas Endurance Coaching (TEC) and the Growth Circle accelerator program . They delved into the common struggles endurance coaches face when scaling their businesses and shared actionable insights to help coaches turn their passion into a profitable, sustainable career. 1. Building a Scalable Business Model Time vs. Money : Coaches often start by trading time for money, which isn't scalable. To grow, it's crucial to find ways to extend your reach without overextending yourself. Leveraging Technology : Utilize business focused platforms like Training Tilt and others to streamline operations, manage clients, accept payments, and deliver coaching services more efficiently. Diversifying Services : Consider offering different tiers of services, online programs, or group coaching to reach more clients without a proportional increase in workload. 2. Client Acquisition and Retention Understanding Your Ideal Client : Define who your ideal client is to tailor your marketing efforts effectively. Consistent Marketing Efforts : Treat marketing like endurance training—consistency and frequency are key. Integrate marketing into your daily activities rather than viewing it as a one-off task. Value-Driven Content : Provide valuable content that addresses the pain points of your target audience to attract and retain clients. 3. Mastering Sales Skills Authentic Communication : Approach sales calls as conversations where you listen intently and offer genuine solutions. Structured Approach : Implement a consistent structure for sales interactions, including setting clear next steps and follow-ups. Practice and Preparation : Hone your sales skills through practice, focusing on how to convey your value proposition effectively. 4. Transitioning from Coach to Business Owner Developing Business Acumen : Invest time in learning essential business skills like financial management, marketing strategies, and operational processes. Setting Up Systems : Create standard operating procedures to streamline tasks and ensure consistency as your business grows. Continuous Learning : Stay updated with industry trends and business best practices to adapt and evolve your coaching enterprise. 5. Seeking Support and Mentorship Community Engagement : Join groups or accelerators like the Growth Circle to connect with like-minded professionals. Accountability Partners : Collaborate with peers to hold each other accountable for business goals and share insights. Learning from Others : Leverage the experiences of seasoned coaches to avoid common pitfalls and accelerate your business growth. Key Takeaways for Coaches Embrace Marketing as a Positive Tool : Shift your perspective on marketing from a necessary evil to a valuable way of connecting with those who need your services. Consistency is Crucial : Just as in endurance training, regular and consistent efforts in marketing and business development yield the best results. Focus on Relationship Building : Both in sales and client retention, building strong relationships is at the heart of a successful coaching business. Don't Go It Alone : Utilize resources, mentorship, and community support to navigate the complexities of running a business. By addressing these common challenges with strategic actions and the right mindset, endurance coaches can transform their passion into a thriving business that not only supports them financially but also amplifies their impact on athletes' lives.

What do Starbucks and Coaching businesses have in common? Apart from being coffee lovers? Apps and automation is one thing. That’s pretty broad so you are probably wondering how that is relevant for you as a coach. Well both Starbucks and coaches have the advantage of being able to add a lot of technology and automation to the way they deliver their products and services to their customers. Equally, they both are in danger of adding too much automation, to the detriment of the relationships they have with those customers. Read, listen or watch the story about Starbucks order ahead app and how it’s landed them in some difficulty. Learn how to avoid doing the same thing as a coach.

Recently, I wrote a post about how some coaching platforms weren't operating in the best interest of coaches After that, I asked my email list to come and comment on one of my LinkedIn posts to help me get some traction. Only two people did. This made me realize something: not many coaches are using LinkedIn, or I hadn’t quite built enough credit with my audience yet. Probably a little bit of both. I suspect most coaches are spending more time on platforms like Instagram, where engagement is high. This engagement feels great, but there is a problem. On Instagram a lot of people take small actions by liking, or commenting, but not big action, like booking a call with you to discuss your coaching. I also recently wrote about charging premium prices and attracting higher-paying, less price-sensitive clients. So where are those clients? Probably on LinkedIn. Instagram is flashy—it’s where you get likes, comments, and shares. But how often do those likes turn into paying clients? Sure, people might engage with your content more on Instagram, but LinkedIn users are more professional and less price-sensitive. They might not “like” your Instagram post, but they’re far more likely to book a call and become a customer. Why LinkedIn Should Be on Your Radar You might not think LinkedIn is the best place to share content, but LinkedIn users are actively looking for ways to improve their careers and lives, making them more likely to see the value in your coaching services. LinkedIn hasn’t traditionally been the cool kid on the block, but that’s changing. It’s becoming more popular, not just for finding a new corporate job, but for connecting with professionals who are serious about personal growth and are willing to invest in themselves. Instagram might give you more likes and views, but LinkedIn could give you “good” business. The people on LinkedIn are serious—they’re the ones who will read your posts, check out your profile, and reach out to learn how you can help them achieve their goals. Patience Is Key Building a presence on LinkedIn isn’t quick or easy. I’ve heard people say you might need to post 3-4 times a week for a year before you really start getting noticed. That feels about right to me. If it were easy and quick, everyone would be doing it. But if you’re patient and consistent, the rewards can be significant. Over time, you’ll build a network of connections who see the value in what you offer and are ready to invest in your services. Instagram is great for show, but LinkedIn is where you can make the dough. If you haven’t already, it’s time to start treating LinkedIn as a key part of your marketing strategy. Your next high-paying client might just be one connection away. It might be a good time to get started on LinkedIn, I’m trying to build up my own audience over there so please connect with me https://www.linkedin.com/in/camlangsford/ You can read the full blog here https://trainingtilt.com/instagram-for-show-linkedin-for-dough You can watch the video version here https://youtu.be/jaybs5OxiCQ Training Tilt is an all in one coaching and e-commerce platform that helps coaches get better results for the clients and their businesses.

The best coaches are not the cheapest, and the cheapest coaches are not the best. One of the biggest mistakes coaches make is underpricing their services. I see it everywhere, coaches promoting the high quality of their service but charging cheap prices. Cheapest and best? Nup, there is no such thing. Highest and Best is what is real. The hard truth: you can’t be cheapest and best. If you’re trying to offer the best for the lowest price, you're setting yourself up for burnout, dissatisfaction, and ultimately, failure. Here’s why it doesn’t work. High-quality coaching and rock-bottom prices just don't mix. If you try to maintain top-notch service while charging low prices, you'll quickly find yourself stretched too thin. Quality coaching requires time, energy, and resources to tailor programs, offer personalized support, and stay updated with the latest training methods. When you undercharge, you can't afford to invest in these essentials, and that inevitably leads to a decline in the service you provide. In the long run, both you and your clients suffer. You can read more about my thoughts on this and check out my “Price Effort Results Quadrant” framework that graphically shows the relationship between, price, effort and results. In the post I cover a few important points Low prices attract the worst clients High prices attract the best clients The more effort you can afford to put in, the better the results 6 Reasons why coaches underprice their coaching You can read the full blog here https://trainingtilt.com/highest-and-best You can watch the video version here https://youtu.be/dKmCKX3Wx7o Training Tilt is an all in one coaching and e-commerce platform that helps coaches get better results for the clients and their businesses.

Our AI Coaching Assistant can now help coaches with their writing by suggesting comments to add to completed activities or help with replies to your clients. The goal of the assistant in this case is not to automate comments to your clients but rather a way to speed up the process and save you from having to type all of what you wanted to say. The assistant is aware of the clients details including their training zones and some other specific information about their training. This enables the assistant to be more accurate when suggesting comments for you to use. You can and should also give the assistant specific instructions and some example comments to ensure that the suggestions are in line with your tone, your coaching principles and any specific way of structuring feedback. The more detailed instructions and examples you configure more the suggestions will align with your own style of feedback. The assistant is currently only available in the web version of the platform in the new activity insights view.
