Your CoachRx Podcast Network Update End of June 2026
The CoachRx Podcast Network covered a lot of ground over the last two weeks, from managing fatigue across tight competition turnarounds and building gymnastics density to the financial blueprint behind a sustainable remote practice. Coaches dug into carbohydrate metabolism, warm-up design, conditioning progressions across machines and combat sport, and the mindset gap that keeps athletes stuck. We also have a competition debrief, a passion-to-business conversation, a farewell episode that marks one show's next chapter, and a full recap of the marketing roadmap at episode 50.
Here are 15 must-listen episodes.

The Cost of Complacency [Ep. 235]

Smarter Strength Podcast
With Coach Dr. David Skolnik
Listener Problem: My Clients Want Cookie Cutter Plans, but I Know They Need Custom Coaching
A client is eyeing a cheap cookie-cutter PDF when you know they need individualized coaching.

He validates why it works for some, then walks it through his Three C's, Capacity, Clarity, and Core Values, to show what customization actually buys.
How to Break Through the Good Coach Plateau
Stagnation does not always look like failure, which is what makes the good coach plateau so easy to miss. Dr. Skolnik prescribes naming the clients and conversations you have been quietly avoiding, then building a focused self-study plan to attack that weak spot. Practical for any coach who feels competent but stuck.
Performance Programming Simplified

Episode 13: Carbohydrate Metabolism
Fueling decisions fall flat when you do not understand the underlying physiology. Spencer breaks down carbohydrate metabolism and translates it into practical fueling guidance for functional fitness training and competition.

A solid model if your intake process still feels improvised.
