Furthering my knowledge and skills as a coach is something I value highly and completing the JPS online mentorship has provided me with the opportunity to do this. The content delivered leaves no stone unturned when it comes to developing coaching, physiology, nutrition, training and achieving success in the industry. The mentorship brings together presenters at the forefront of the industry who provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based information. The mentorship is constantly evolving with additional content being added on a regular basis as new research comes available. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the mentorship. The content was easy to follow, delivered in an engaging manner and progressed in a logical order to allow concepts to be reinforced throughout various modules. I highly recommend the mentorship to any coach looking to take their knowledge, skills and client results to the next level!

Overall, I think the course is great and the content is fantastic. It is well-structured and covers a broad, yet relevant, range of topics without being superficial. Not only is there breadth, but depth too. My favourite module was number 12 on Critical Thinking. Learning to think critically really is the crux of it all. I think that this is often overlooked, probably because it’s not a straight forward skill to be developed and is something that can be refined indefinitely. I like how you emphasised effective coaching principles that expand far beyond a simple understanding of physiology and movement. Understanding your client, psychology, true coaching principles, communication, industry success… I think that is what makes the course unique. Looking back on our initial correspondence regarding what I aimed to get out of the course, I believe it delivered exactly what I had hoped.

I would 100% recommend the JPS Mentorship Program to any coach or aspiring coach, regardless of your current knowledge and experience! Having been a coach myself for the past four years, I cannot emphasise enough how valuable it is to continue to build your knowledge and understanding of various coaching topics, to ensure you continue to grow and progress in your career. This course covers a huge range of incredibly valuable content, particularly for nutrition, training periodisation, human anatomy and physiology and business fundamentals, just to name a few! You will be able to regularly refer back to this content throughout your coaching career, to ensure you achieve the highest level of success with your clients. I cannot recommend this course enough!

The mentorship made me think twice about the information I thought I knew. It raises the importance of the theory I was taught on my degree but from the level of pure practical application. The mentorship has consolidated all the best information from the best in the industry and has given me another level to my coaching confidence
Brodie Giesbrecht –
I learned how to more effectively communicate with my clients so they understand the ‘why’ behind what we are doing, increasing their results and confidence in me as their coach.
Everything is packaged in an easy to understand format, with the help of some of the industry’s best practitioners. You will leave with the theoretical and practical knowledge that most general PT Certifications simply don’t offer. I would highly recommended any coach interested in further development of their practice seriously consider the JPS Online Mentourship Program.”
Just wanted to say thanks again for offering such a fantastic program. Not only did I learn a lot, after completing the course I have been able to get in touch and further develop relationships with other practioners in the ‘evidence based fitness industry’ and because of that I wanted to give another personal thank you to Jacob, Lyndon, Sam & everybody else at JPS.
