Preparing for your first lesson with an Athletes Untapped coach is important to ensure that you have the best possible experience. Here are some helpful tips to get ready:

1. Set Clear Goals for the Lesson

Before your first session, take some time to reflect on your goals. Are you hoping to work on a specific skill, improve overall fitness, or get personalized advice for your sport? Clear goals will help guide your session, ensuring you get the most out of your time with the coach. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to share your ideas with the coach so they can tailor the lesson to meet your expectations.

4. Be Ready for Feedback

Coaches provide feedback to help you improve. Be open to their suggestions, and feel free to ask any questions if something isn’t clear. Staying positive and receptive will help you make significant progress during your lessons.
