Is persistence enough? When we think about what it takes to achieve success lots of words come to mind….passion, drive, work ethic, etc etc. Personally I often think resourcefulness and persistence are a key part of the equation. Just having that ability to see things through even when it’s not going your way.
But I don’t think persistence alone is enough, that could result in just banging your head against the wall even harder!!
I was listening to an interview with famed Jiu Jitsu and MMA coach John Danaher this week and he used the phrase ‘Intelligent Adaptive Persistence’ and it really resonated with me. With things changing so fast these days from new technology, social media, the pandemic and more, we really need to commit to actively seeking a better solution to solve the problem, otherwise we run the risk of being quickly outdated and behind. And so the intelligent adaptive element is critical.
We need to be upskilling ourselves, raising our capacity for more knowledge, and improving our daily performance. And that‘s exactly what our students have been doing recently. It’s been a huge month for SCE on the L4, mentorship and in the Elite Coach Network too and it’s deeply impressive the commitment each and every one of you keeps showing when it comes to continual improvement.
And if you’re reading this considering taking our Level 4 or any other course and you like the values we have here I really would encourage you to set up a call to speak to our coaches by replying to this email. Remember, you’re reading this for a reason.
To your success,
Brendan
SCE Quote of the Month
During a mentor call with a student, the same old problem kept on arising – ‘lack of clarity’. They were insistent on trying to develop varying differing programmes for a whole host of people. This led them to swim in circles and not get anywhere in their business.
After going through the 7 killer questions and finding out what the true driving force was behind this coach, we were able to design a plan that allowed them to focus on one thing that would deliver everything they wanted from their coaching.
Are you in the same position as that coach?
Do you need some guidance on how to create that one great product?
Then simply book a call with one of our mentors and they will be more than happy to help!

Student of the Month
The May SCE Student of the Month award goes to Steve McGill!
Our June student of the month award goes to Steve McGill from Westhill in Aberdeenshire. Steve joined us in August last year by completing the Fundamentals course, before enrolling onto the Level 4 in October. He clearly had a passion for S&C principles from the start and this was obvious to us during his practical assessment, demonstrating enthusiasm and an eye for the technical requirements.
However, the main reason for this award is down to the work and effort he put into his case study presentation, dropping only 1 mark overall and managing a 100% pass mark. Congratulations Steve, well deserved!
Your prize, a book from Human Kinetics will be on its way to you shortly!

ECM Update
We are just finishing up the Intensification phase of the Elite Coach Mentorship at the moment and the students are seeing some fantastic results so far!
During a 1-2-1 call in which students get regular access, ECM student Darren mentioned how by simply implementing some of the strategies and tactics within the programme, he has been able to add 10 new clients to his boxing gym in the space of one week!
This is a testament to Darren’s work ethic and his ability to try new things. Now he is in a position to expand his class timetable due to popular demand and knowing exactly where he needs to focus his energy. This isn’t a one-off though, this is a regular thing within the ECM programme. A wide variety of coaches have come through the programme and have gone on to do great things within their business. Now, they all had different definitions of greatness and that’s the brilliant thing about the ECM. It delivers results that YOU want, rather than results based on other people’s definition of success.
