Episode 156- Youth CrossFit with Gretchen Bredemeier

Today’s guest, Gretchen Bredemeier, is here to talk about coaching kids. Most people have a lot to learn about motivating kids. Why do I say "motivating" kids instead of "training" kids? Because there are already a lot of programs out there on how to train kids; however, the kids must want to be there. The parents have to bring them, but if the kids don’t like the class, they won’t stay. Gretchen is an expert in this area. Success is important for motivation—even more so with kids than adults. While Gretchen frequently asks kids to create their own games, she doesn’t let them run wild for the entire hour. On the other hand, she doesn’t burn herself out by trying to have full control over every second of a kids class. In this episode, Gretchen talks about how they get more kids, keep more kids, price their programs and grow their programs. Gretchen’s personality is also something you should note. If you can find someone like Gretchen to embrace "intrapreneurship" and grow a kids program under your umbrella, it can be a win for both of you. Be sure to take good notes and reach out to Gretchen with any questions you might have at the conclusion of the episode.About Gretchen: Gretchen has been at Loco CrossFit for almost four years and coaching since 2015.
