A good training partner can motivate you, keep you accountable, and push you harder. Finding the right partner is like finding the perfect pair of jeans, it takes time but the right one "just fits"!
Six keys to being a good training partner
- Show up on-time and prepared, just like you would for a business meeting or interview.
- Everyone has a bad day, monitor your partner's progress and offer to take the load off to keep from injury.
- We all appreciate constructive feedback, offer ideas to improve their form. Sometimes you need to hear what others see.
- Know your position. You don't have to be the one the "knows everything" all the time. It's okay to listen without offering advice.
- Use your partner to motivate you, there's a reason there's no "I" in team. Build camaraderie, trust, and unity to help encourage your partner.
- Show up with a workout plan. It's nice to be "off the hook" for preparing the workout but do your fair share of the work and bring ideas to the table too.
