How This blog will help you

If You Don’t Know Me…

My name is Callum Walker. I’m a performance nutritionist and over the past decade I’ve been running a coaching business where I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with some of the best athletes in the world, CEO’s and members of the general public.

In more recent times, I’ve taken my knowledge and experience to share that with personal trainers, online coaches and gym owners who have wanted to become the best coach that they can be; providing amazing client results, that not only helps grow their business but help them feel that sense of accomplishment and impact that comes with changing the direction of someones life.

I Was Not The Smart Kid.

For those of you that don’t know me…

Academically, I’m pretty well qualified.

I have a first class masters degree in performance nutrition, I’m currently a PhD candidate, looking deep into how we can optimise human performance through the food that we eat, and I’ve read more research papers than I count.

Why am I telling you that?

Not to impress you, but to share with you that if you’d have said, this would have been my path when I was 18… Effectively becoming an academic nerd…

I would have told you that you were talking about someone else.

I was the stupid kid. The kid that was labeled as thick, by my teachers, the kids I went to school with, and eventually by myself.

But the thing is… I’m not thick, I never was, and neither are you.

But it’s amazing the impact that someone’s opinion of you can have on your own beliefs. 

You Have Greatness Within You, You Just Gotta Let It Out

I truly believe we are as smart as we tell ourselves that we are. I was only labeled the stupid kid because Pythagoras and geographical rivers didn’t interest me one bit. I just wanted to get out there, run in the mud, kick a ball about, and see how far & fast I could run.

Which led me to want to learn how I could do that better.

And I stumbled on this inner academic. This inner drive to want to learn absolutely everything there is to know about optimising human performance.

For the first time in my life, it was the thing that I had a creative spark for. I have this insatiable thirst to learn more and more about how we can perform better physically, mentally, and spiritually.

You Can Be As Smart & Knowledgable As You Want To Be…

Provided you genuinely want to acquire the information you’re searching for. Deep inside of you, there’s something great sleeping, it’s tugging away, and it just needs to be awoken. You got into fitness because there was just something that lit that fire within you, and I want you to know that all you need is the right guidance to become the incredible coach you’ve always known you can be, and unleash that passion.

What This Blog Will Do For You

If You Are A Personal Trainer Or Online Coach…

This blog will serve as a roadmap for you. It will contain all the information you’ll ever need to level up your own physical & mental performance, get better results for your clients and in turn, help you become a coach in a league of your own. 

I’ve found the only true way to become a high performance coach, is to become a high performer yourself and share your lessons with your clients. 

And this blog will help you do just that.

Right Now… You May Have A Voice In Your Head.

Telling you, that you’re not good enough, that there’s so much that you don’t know, that you’re kinda winging this whole journey and eventually you’re going to get found out for the fraud you believe you are.

I know that, because that’s how I used to feel, I was swamped in fear, doubt and anxiety that my clients would find me out for not actually knowing how I can provide the result that they wanted.

Whenever they asked me a question and I didn’t know the answer to it, my mind immediately raced to, “they’re gonna leave you, you’ve just been found out”

The thing I want to tell you is there are two ways you can overcome this fear and worry.

Whenever you get hit with a question from a client or someone in life and you don’t know the answer, don’t wing it and reel of some bullshit answer. You’ll get found out. (I know that because that’s what I used to do)

Simply use this phrase

“You know what, I don’t actually know, but I’ll find out for you”

And this blog will hopefully serve as a place that you can come to in order to find the answer you’re searching for. If it isn’t there, please don’t hesitate to reach out and I’ll be more than delighted to help you.

The second way to overcome this fear and worry, is knowledge.

If you don’t know me, I am a huge film fan. And I often quote films to help teach.

In the film Batman Begins, there’s a scene where batman is sat at a table in a restaurant, opposite the bad guy called Falcone.

And Falcone whipped out a gun, pointed the gun at Batman’s head and uttered a statement that has changed my life.

He said “you only fear what you don’t understand”

Why was this so profound?

Because I really believe that the only thing stopping me and you from achieving our dreams, is fear.

And if we only fear what we don’t understand. Then the antidote to fear is knowledge.

Whenever there is something that strikes the fear, worry and doubt in you, there’s simply something you don’t know. All you need to do, is seek out who has the information you need to overcome this challenge and the fear will go away..

How Will This Blog Help You & Why Am I Putting All My Energy Into It?

I know how lonely running a coaching business is.

You have to do everything, market, sell, deliver to clients, create content, hope you don’t run out of money. And it can sometimes feel like nobody gets it and you’re on your own.

I want you to know, I get it. I get your pain, the loneliness and the self-doubt.

But I also want you to know, that all the information that I’m sharing in this blog will help you perform at a level you never thought possible.

Your ability to deal with stress, anxiety, worry will go through the roof.

Content creation will become a breeze as your brain is set on fire with a flood of creativity.

And, you’ll be able to share all these lessons with your clients to finally get rid of the voice in your head telling you that your clients don’t get results and you’re a fraud. 

I Hope This Blog Gives You The Help, Support & Inspiration You Are Looking For.
