Wow! That sounds really harsh. Let me unpack this statement. I am here to support you. As your coach, I am here to cheer you on as you fight for that first pull-up or your last rep.
The issue of “student to coach” friendships isn’t as cut and dry as you might think. It can be tricky to maintain the professional distance required to coach you if we’ve become “buddies” in the gym. Other affiliates think this is okay and don’t see a problem with it, but the problem is it can create cliques or a subculture which is divisive and is the exact opposite of the community environment we work hard to facilitate at CFM Krav Maga. These types of friendships inside the gym can be perceived as favoritism and this usually leads to people feeling left out.
I like you. I really do. I am excited to help you identify and achieve your goals. It is so cool to watch you discover strengths and abilities you only dreamed you’d someday have. But you hired me to be your coach and I intend to be the best coach I can be.
We want everyone who joins our school to feel welcome and included every time they walk in the door. CFM Krav Maga is not about one person. It’s not about Mike or me. It’s not the Erika Show. We don’t have any star athletes or people to place on a pedestal. We don’t have a second class student community and we won’t think you are weak if you don’t choose to compete.
I’m not your buddy, I am your coach...now pick up that bar.
