Coach Etiquette - is it ok to change coaches during prep?
I’m struggling as I’ve decided my coach is not a good fit and I need to change coaches.
Long story short:
-In prep for 19 weeks and have lost 15lbs
-Every 6 weeks he has completely changed my training, every exercise is new
-Training is very high volume and I’m extremely fatigued
-I started with food fairly low (1600 kcal) and suggested a reverse and build phase for a year first and he said I didn’t need to.
-My last training split ended 3 weeks ago and he keeps forgetting to give me a new plan
-He advised against a posing coach to save me money
This is where I’m at and what should be 5 weeks out but I have decided to postpone. I wanted to compete in bikini and he told me to switch to fit model and this was me trying the posing.
He once told me that last year he had a competitor change coaches right after her first show and that “people don’t change coaches during prep, it’s wrong”. I know I need to go with someone different and have found an awesome experienced coach, but I’m nervous about firing my current coach as it’s a small dramatic community here. lol
