 Hey coach, what's up? Welcome back to our channel. If you're brand-new here make sure and hit that subscribe button So you can stay updated with all the new videos we have coming out on our channel Now in this video, it might be a little controversial Because I know there's a lot of coaches who watch this that might be team coaches They might be personal trainers in a gym There's all sorts of coaches that watch these videos But there's a disclaimer before I begin if you are a coach that's doing team coaching This video will not apply to you. If you are a personal trainer in a gym This video will not apply to either, but if you have your own independent training business And you want to start a sports training business like soccer, basketball, football, tennis, golf Whatever sport I can think of This video will apply to you And I get this question over and over Coaches will ask, hey, Ben, do I need to be certified? Do I need to go through this coaching course? Do I need to have this coaching license before I start my business? the answer is no because Being certified Doesn't mean anything. It's really the same thing As a college degree. I have a college degree. You might have one, too That doesn't mean you can start your business Anybody can start their business. In fact, there's some kids that are like 17, 18 years old That watch this channel that have started their own private soccer training business. So the age doesn't matter Okay, they don't have any Certificates. Some of them haven't graduated high school yet. Okay, but all these coaches think that Oh, I need to go through this coaching course Before I start my business because I need to get educated The best education you can get is Experience and the only way you can get experience is by training more clients and here's the reality No parents ever call me and say, hey, Ben, which soccer certification do you have? Parents don't care about that. They care if I can help their kid or not They only care if I can bring results to the table and that's all parents care about you, too They're not going to ask you what your resume is Where you played in college? They don't give a crap about you. They care if you can help their kid. Okay Knowing this, I wouldn't try to spend a lot of time thinking Researching trying to go get certifications when you could just be building your business That to me Something a lot of coaches don't know they think oh, well, you know, I do have to go get certified No one's gonna take me serious. I'm not gonna be able to charge a lot of money for my training program That's all BS. I can promise you that and you could ask not just me But any of the coaches in our mastermind program? No one really has any sort of certifications But what we do is we all have a lot of experience That to me is always going to trump any sort of certification If you have any questions about that or any thoughts about that comment below this video again This does not apply if you're a personal trainer You need to have like your personal training license or if you're a coach that wants to coach teams I'm talking about starting and training kids within your own business that to me is completely different industry All right, again, if you have any questions comment below if you want to learn more about our inner circle mastermind program Go ahead and click on this button here.
