One morning, I was on the phone with my husband while exercising. When he asked what I was doing, I told him I was doing kneeling push-ups, the kind I felt most comfortable with.
Then he asked a simple question: “Why don’t you try the plank push-up?” At first, I resisted. I had always seen plank push-ups as something difficult, something meant for others, something beyond my reach. But he encouraged me: “Just try. You don’t have to do many at once. Start with what you can.”
So, I tried. To my surprise, I did 20 push-ups in one go. That moment changed everything. What I once feared suddenly became possible. What looked difficult became simple the moment someone believed in me and pushed me to try.
Today, I can do far more than I ever thought I could do, all because I stopped avoiding what I thought I couldn’t do. This knowledge that I can has developed consistency in me and I am doing a good job at building upper-body strength, improving functional strength, posture, stability, and cardiovascular health.
That experience taught me something powerful: a coach does not do the work for you; a coach helps you see that you can do the work. A good coach does not just guide you, they pull out a version of you that you did not even know existed, and you start to experience yourself differently.
Often, the gap between where you are and where you want to be is not a lack of ability. It is a lack of clarity, confidence, and accountability. This is why coaching matters. A coach helps you see possibilities beyond your fears, push past limiting beliefs, and stay accountable to your goals.
