Gerrard Smith
Mr Smith’s Coaching
Coaching is about far more than just a training plan. To me coaching is about providing the environment and support you need to reach your goals. For some this is the accountability of regular checkups by the coach, for others it is helping to make sure training is executed appropriately, and for others it may be that support is only needed occasionally to prepare for events or when things aren’t going to plan. That’s why I provide different coaching options, so we can make it work for you. www.mrsmiths.co.nz
