In this presentation, I’ll share with you my top strategies for moving
beyond the same old boring (and ineffective) nutrition messages and
delivering nutrition lessons that make a real difference in how your clients
view food. If you’ve ever talked nutrition with a client or athlete, this is
vital information you won’t want to miss.
Sincerely,
In that, offer ideas and generalized concepts that you want this
client to think about, research, or problem solve towards. Let
them know that during the next session, you want to have a
spirited conversation with them about their findings. And follow-
up by having these discussions.
Low Motivation, High Skill Inspire To be good at something, but lose your zeal for it, is often the
result of overwhelming internal or external pressure. And this
typically categorizes the low motivation, high skill client.
For this type of client you need to take the pressure off and find
ways to ease them back into the coaching process through subtle
inspiration.
High Motivation, Low Skill Direct These clients do not lack for motivation so you won't have to
supply any more to the equation. The problem, in fact, is likely
too much motivation.
Low Motivation, Low Skill Guide This type of client is typically quiet, shy and introverted. So
respect that and don't become their cheerleader. They aren't
looking for the loud, motivational coach who constantly tells them
“YOU CAN DO IT” - they are looking for someone to provide
direction and develop a relationship at a pace that doesn't make
them feel uncomfortable or want to “push back”.

Now, with my help, you’ll be able to get great results with just about 5
hours per week. So let’s figure out how we can schedule your week to
accommodate these 5 hours.
“I don’t like the taste of X (insert any and There are a wide variety of foods to choose from and I guarantee that we

Also, as food prep matters, I’d like to teach you some new ways to prepare
X so that it tastes better to you.
“Lifting weights makes me bulky and Unless you want to compete in endurance sports, it’s important to spend
muscular really fast so let’s stick with more than half of our gym time doing higher intensity activities like interval
cardio” exercise and resistance exercise.
But don’t worry, I’ll design your lifting program in such a way that you
won’t bulk up. You’ll just get stronger and leaner.
“I can’t do X (insert any and every exercise Don’t worry; I’m going to teach you a way to perform this exercise, and a

you’ll be pain-free in this area.
“I can’t give up X (insert any and every Oh, you won’t have to! While you might have to eat less of X, we’ll build it

“It’s too much of a pain to exercise (after There are a number of ways to accumulate 5 hours of exercise a week. Not

you’re most comfortable and you can still get your 5 hours.
“I can’t afford to eat healthy, it’s too I know it seems like it is, but I can teach you some strategies for buying
expensive” healthy food that help you save a ton of money. In fact, when I’m done with
you, you’ll likely be spending less money on groceries, not more.
“I don’t have anyone to come exercise Well, during your training sessions, you’ve got me. And for the other

other clients so you can motivate each other or you can just bring your iPod
and let your music keep you company during the workouts.

and he/she doesn’t have to eat this way” you asked, he/she may not have to eat this way for a few reasons.
First, he/she may have a much faster metabolism, allowing for a less strict
nutrition plan. Second, he/she may do a lot more physical activity than
you. Finally although he/she may be following a different sort of eating
plan, they may still be following a plan and that’s why they’ve gotten such
great results.

Precision Nutrition started with a single question: what exactly should people eat
to 1) look fit, 2) be healthy and 3) perform to their highest potential?
To answer that question, we condensed 10 years of research, both from the lab
and from the field, and the experiences of nearly 45,000 PN members from over
95 countries, including both everyday folk and Olympic gold medalists, all into
one system — the Precision Nutrition System.
The Precision Nutrition System is a true comprehensive diet guide that includes
the following:
Each part of Precision Nutrition directly supports the ideas in the attached e-
book. So if what you read makes sense to you, you’ll love the Precision Nutrition
System.
