3 things you don’t realize your coach is doing

3 Things You Don’t Realize Your Trainer is Doing

Great article by Paul Banasiak from a fighter transitioned to a coach point of view.

A summary of how a coach and his fighters/students mean more than just training. Click on the link above for full article.

1. A coach will take your personal life into account, your skill, your work ethic, and your mindset to set you up for success at the correct pace.

Your coach is there to lead you to your goals, but more importantly, educate you on what it will take.

2. Your trainer’s job is to provide you with opportunities, but only if you match his or her efforts. The work you put in is ultimately what will lead you to success in your goals.

“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

3. No one wants to train a skilled fighter or practitioner who is arrogant or close-minded for a prolonged period of time or at all. Skills can bring you a lot of attention, but never mistake attention for success or respect.

It is a good coach’s job to steer you in the right direction, but it is your job to listen, learn and act truthfully. Be good to others, help others learn, show respect in and out of the ring. Be a good human being.

I had the pleasure of going to Royston’s class and I got hooked on my very first! Royston is very supportive of all students, regardless of age, gender. As Long as your interested to improve your craft and ask questions, he is very willing to teach. I really appreciate how he spends time and effort to correct my form every time I ask him to. And he is always supportive of me improving my skills regardless of female/male! Love it!!!

Royston is a keen and experienced coach who humbly shares his knowledge on martial arts. Whether you are a novice trying to get started, or an experienced person who has been training for years, Royston adjusts his teaching to suit the learning style of his students. His martial arts classes are never boring – always teaching new techniques and refining the basics; his emphasis on “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect” ensure his students in executing the right moves. Training with Royston has been an amazing experience and I look forward to his fun, yet gruelling, sessions every week. Don’t expect him to go easy on you though!

I have been training with Royston for 2-3 times a week in the past 6 months. I came with very little experience in martial arts having only attended trial classes previously, but have seen a big improvement in my ability with the sport in this short amount of time. Royston’s teaching style strikes a good balance between pushing you out of your comfort zone, yet being supportive and nurturing. His personality creates a safe environment that allows you to feel at ease as you learn the sport and makes you want to put in your best while training. He teaches clearly and always demonstrates what he wants you to achieve, often breaking it down into smaller steps to follow easily. He is able to tailor to different audiences and level of ability, making him a very versatile mentor. I enjoy training with Royston, as while he often teaches me new techniques, he is equally focused on perfecting my foundations. Through his coaching, I feel the sport has made me more focused, consistent and confident.

I first started training with Royston 7 years ago in what was my first foray into Muay Thai and MMA. It was him who built the right foundations, imparting the right skillsets for me to build on when I trained elsewhere in other countries. After training in 2 other countries in UK and Hong Kong, he is still the best.

7 years on and I’ve relocated back to Singapore and have been training with him for 5 months now. I’m constantly surprised by significant strides in physical conditioning and technique improvements I get session on session. Nowhere else I see myself making such improvements.

Royston is one of the best coaches I’ve ever trained with. He’s incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. He draws on his professional experience which has really taken my MMA to the next level.

I’d have no hesitation in recommending Royston to any beginner, intermediate or professional.

Royston is helping me prepare for my first MMA fight, he has great attention to detail and explains difficult techniques very clearly. Royston also gives good focus to the mental aspect of preparation and fighting which gives me confidence to win and win well.

Royston Wee is a dedicated coach with amazing fight experiences and tips in teaching MMA. Safety is always the top priority during lessons, he is able to customise training to adapt to my body when I have old injuries doing sports from before. I have been training with him for 3 years and learned a lot of techniques with fine-tuning and adjustments during practice. Royston also adds in strength and conditioning, mobility and movement work to my regime. He is always willing to share more about MMA and his experiences. Royston is very friendly and close to his students. All and all, he is a great coach and friend in the ring. The best guy to start your MMA experience with!
