“Completing the Coach Development Program at Aphobos has elevated my knowledge and understanding of coaching, and the different layers and techniques that can be applied. The CDP course has given me the tools I needed to lead and inspire athletes during their CrossFit journey.”
“I started at Aphobos as a member and took part in the coaches development programme (CDP) before undertaking the CFL1 course. The CDP gave me a head start on understanding what would be required of me as a coach.
What the CPD gave me was a far more in-depth knowledge, of the seeing and correcting in particular, to help me become a better coach. Gemma is great at emphasising the importance and impact that you can have on people’s lives through that one hour of their day, the atmosphere (and music choices) you bring to class and how to uphold the standards.
Working with Gemma has helped me become the best coach I can be and built my confidence as a coach. Know that there is always more to learn and you can always be better.”
