Ep. 16 - Post Show, Off Season, Expectations & Experiences With Josh McHale

Got some feedback? Drop us a message!

EP 16 is live and this week we have had the pleasure of speaking to a leading UK Prep Coach Josh Mchale. Josh has extensive experience in coaching, and in particular, coaching bikini athletes so this was a highly anticipated chat for both Jade and Grace. 

We really wanted to understand Josh’s methods, how he prepares his athletes not only for stage but for their individual athlete experience.

We cover:
- Josh’s background, how did he come to be a bikini coach, did he always intend to coach female athletes specifically and what does he enjoy most about it?
- The bikini division, how it’s developed over his time as a coach and how does he keep up
- Coaching athlete mindsets from amateur to pro; Josh’s thoughts on key characteristics for longevity in the sport
- Natural vs PED athletes, approaches to prep, longevity, coaching an athlete at all stages not just during a prep.
- Off season management and post show experiences, his protocols and how they are for the most part, client led; why he does this and the impact it has on the athlete
- His emerging and newly turned pro athletes, @mickaelafit and @samminshull_ifbbpro - plans and vision for the future

And so much more.
