Episode 1

Built to Coach: From Athlete to Business

Most coaches started out as athletes. You got into this for the love of sport and the people you train, but turning that into a business is a different game.

In the first episode of Built to Coach, we joined Hybrid Racer's Gus Vaz Tostes and FITR's Megan McGrath as they unpacked the shift from athlete to coach to business owner, and the foundations every coach needs to build something that lasts.

In this episode:

  • The identity shift: The mindset that makes a good coach and defining what you sell
  • The 4 foundations of a coaching business: Delivery, payments, communication, tracking
  • Gus' story: From competing to coaching to running a business
  • Live Q&A with Gus and Megan
