Have you ever struggled or doubted yourself as a coach?

Wondered if you were smart enough to really get results?

Or maybe thought that everyone else out there was doing a better job than you?

Well welcome to the club – because both myself and today’s guest have felt the same way at one point in time!

Andy McCloy is the owner of Body Creations, Inc in Huntsville, Alabama, where they train athletes of all ages and sports including football, basketball, baseball, mixed martial arts (MMA), wrestling, soccer, softball, and golf.

Andy has worked with hundreds of athletes ranging from middle and high school to the Professional levels, including the NFL and Arena Football Leagues.

And in this episode, Andy and I not only talk about the struggles of being a coach, but the insecurities he dealt with early-on in his career.

If you’re looking for a story with a kick-ass hero going on an awesome journey, you’re going to love today’s episode.

Let’s do this!

You don’t have to sacrifice the connection with your family just because you’re working more. I would argue that a lot of people in your family will respect you even more because of it. – Andy McCloy

When Bill and I created IFASTU back in 2016, our singular goal was to make it an elite resource for trainers, coaches and rehab professionals across the globe.

Because there are 100’s, if not 1000’s of coaches who would love to come to IFAST and learn from us, but can’t.

So the new IFAST University is not only sleeker and more streamlined, but we also have two membership options based on where you’re at in your career.

Our IFASTU Standard option is like the Netflix of training con ed. Here you’ll have access to the complete IFASTU archive, which has well over 100 in-depth videos on topics like program design, coaching and anatomy and movement.

Plus, every month you’ll get a new piece of content from a world-class coach – someone that’s going to help YOU take your game to the next level.

But if you’re really looking to fast-track your progress, you may want to get in on IFASTU ELITE.

Here you’ll not only have access to the archives and monthly content drops like standard users, but you’ll also have direct access to both Bill and I each and every month.

Between two monthly Q&A calls, access to over 100 previously recorded Q&A call’s, and direct access to both us and our group of elite coaches via our private forum, this is a sure-fire way to get around the right people and level up FAST.
