Episode 52 is now live on all platforms and we’ve had yet another pinch me moment, welcoming @jamidebernard, IFBB Pro and founder of @fitbodyfusion to the podcast.

This was an honour simply put.

Jami has decades of experience derived from her own competitive accolades and in coaching athletes from entry level, through to the worlds very best Olympia athletes. Naturally we couldn’t wait to speak to her about her contributions to the sport, her expertise and her coaching practices, which have formed the pillars of one of the leading coaching companies in the world today.

In this episode we cover:-

• Jami’s introduction to the sport, her own competitive history and success and how that lead to the development of her coaching career;
• The evolution of the sport; inclusivity, pros and cons of the sport development and what challenges that brings;
• Specificities of coaching a bikini athlete, training and diet considerations, the importance of ensuring these are moulded to the individual athlete and how that has afforded her athletes success;
• Athlete mindset, variables to consider. The differences, if any, she has encountered managing athlete mindset at different levels of the sport;
• Fostering a strong coach/client relationship; how she feels this impacts her athletes both individually and as a team and how that influences longevity in the sport;
• Feedback management; where the value truly lies in receiving feedback and how she applies that with her athletes;
• Do’s and don’s in relation to protecting your competitive experience;

And so much more.

Jami’s energy, enthusiasm and passion for this sport is infectious and something that really shon through in the way she spoke not only about her own experience in the sport but also in how she contributes to the community she has created with her athletes and the @fitbodyfusion team.
