 if you haven't yet make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with so today I want to talk to you about integrating one-on-one training into your group program so if you've been watching my content for a while now I talk a lot about how in order to grow and scale your your training business the most viable way to do that and the most scalable way to do that is via groups now I understand a lot of coaches when they do start their business what they do is they start off with one-to-one training which is fantastic but what you're going to find is that if you are your own coaching in the sense that you're doing the you're running the entire show so you're running the business you're doing the coaching then if you're just focusing on one-on-one training then it's going to get to the point where every new client that comes into your business and wants to train with you wants to work with you you're going to have to put an hour more of your time on the field in order to service them so the way we avoid that because with what to give you an example when I first started my business I was doing up to 30 sessions and these were all one-on-one sessions per week and to be honest with you it got to Sunday and I was burnt out right I was burnt out I didn't have any energy and in my mind I was thinking right I've got to do this all again next week so this is something I don't want for you I want you to avoid this a lot of coaches think that to grow and scale a business you need to work more the truth is you don't need to work more you just need to be smart with how you structure and how you model your your program and your system so if you're currently doing group training okay I want you I want to encourage you to continue to grow that okay you can build a fantastic sustainable business by offering one training day per week and having up to four or five groups that you're training back to back okay so you might decide right Saturday in my local area Saturdays are the best days to do all my training because that's the day where a lot of the kids or players that play at teams they don't have team training okay so they will come along and they can train with you right so you could do you could have training sessions from nine to one okay back to back all in groups right you could be working with 10 players per group do back to back sessions and that's you done for the week okay now what you can do is in order to make sure that that is profitable okay you need to put obviously to give a really good program where parents want to pay the money to get your help but also you are providing a service that your competitor who is offering maybe two three times a week doesn't provide okay now a lot of coaches ask me should I be should I be providing two three even four training sessions per week to one client now the truth is you can of course you can but what you want to do is you want to have one training session per week okay where you're obviously providing great value you're providing fantastic service and then away from the pitch right you want to be doing stuff that other trainers don't do okay so this might be zoom calls to talk about confidence self-discipline college recruitment and nutrition right loads of different things that that other trainers don't teach the their their clients okay now apart from that you might want to offer homework every week okay so homework where you have a system where they have to be accountable to that homework and they and you have to make sure that that homework is being done okay so that's another one or you know another one could be you create an online program where those players when they're not with you in person they're following a program day by day okay so you might have a training an online program for Monday Tuesday Wednesday is when you do your in-person training and then Thursday Friday might be another two days of online training until they see you again okay so those are just a couple of ways of adding more value to making sure that you have a program that stands out from everyone else so you can charge more and you can get more clients but if you are just doing groups and you want to integrate one-on-one training okay because I know a lot of coaches what they do now is they just focus on groups because they don't want to do that one-on-one training now one-on-one training is always a good option because it should be a premium type of service that you offer and once you have a lot of demand for it then I think the smart way to do it would be to offer it okay but I wouldn't start offering one-on-one training unless you have demand okay I would just focus solely on growing your groups to the point where some parents are saying right okay we you know the group training is great but we feel that our child needs now that that one-on-one attention okay fantastic right how many kids do we have that want to do that if you have two three four parents that are saying the same thing then I feel that that is the time when you offer the one-on-one training okay if you don't have the demand then just focus on the groups because that's going to be the easiest way to scale and grow your business financially okay and also save you a lot of time in terms of coaching hours okay now once your group starts to grow so say say you know you have five groups of 10 players in that group and now you're getting two or three parents per week that are asking you about one-on-one training okay this is where you can start to integrate it as part of your program okay now you can do an option where if you have 50 clients at the moment and now they want to do one-on-one training with you you can have the option where they do either a one-off session but that one-off session you know you're charging a high amount for it because it's just a one-on-off session and to be honest I don't personally like one-off sessions because there's no I don't see any value to it okay if they want development if they want results if they want a transformation then you should really be doing at least one session per week for a minimum of three months okay so three months equals 12 weeks so if parents just want that one-off session because they want to they want their child to to focus on a specific area of the game and that's fine I think that's a good option to have okay and you as the the business owner should be offering it but it shouldn't be a cheap option right it should be double the amount that it costs to join your group sessions okay now if parents can't afford that then that is sometimes a good thing because it saves you time where you know that's an extra hour of training on the field for less money okay you want to be if you're if you're going to be doing an extra hour of training working with a client you want it to at least be worth it okay you want it to be worth it so the best option is charging maybe double or just a bit more well significantly more than your group training okay but if you are thinking about adding one-on-one training to your group setup okay love to connect with you if you're watching us through through
