As a trainer you're often judged on three criteria; formal education, practical education, and appearance. Competing in a sport helps you better solidify and understand formal educational components which increases your practical knowledge (how well you can apply formal education in real world situations), and competing helps motivate and cultivate a better appearance. So, if you're a trainer and you haven't yet competed in a sport... you should do so!!! Afraid you may not do well, or afraid you don't know yet how to best prepare yourself? Listen to the podcast to find out more about those specific concerns!!!
