It's pretty easy to find them. Some of them are backed by pretty high-traffic sites and exactly, the marketing and hyperbole certainly will grab anyone's attention. I guess if you go around claiming to have coached many world-class athletes and have any competence at all, eventually you will have a geniune testimony to put in your ad-copy...<BR/><BR/>You're right. There are many, many great coaches out there, but it's tough for newbies/kids to tell the shysters from the gems, especially online.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965125392095147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-50088225092213001862008-06-24T19:34:00.000-05:002008-06-24T19:34:00.000-05:00This is great!

I too am often bewildered how so called "internet" gurus (who many have never even trained one client ever) are able to capture the audience they do. Marketing really does seem to be the SECRET in making a coach look like an expert. I know of a strength coach (and I won't mention any names) who wrote an abdominal fat loss book who himself has never been lean, doesn't eat well, and has never himself been in shape. Something there just lacks a bit of credibility in my book.<BR/><BR/>But the internet age is upon us and the spoils go the best marketers. Although I must admit that there are some coaches out there really are excellent in the trenches coaches and deserve the success they have.Franz Snidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.com
