As strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, and fitness professionals we have had to rethink even reshape how we do our jobs during this pandemic. During this challenging time, it has helped us all find new ways to engage with clients or athletes, hold them accountable, and challenge them.
One of the best ways to engage, challenge, and hold accountability is to create/promote competition. I have witnessed first hand how giving athletes some form of competition to complete each week has increased participation while creating a goal for them to achieve.
Competition is something everyone faces in life. Competition causes us to work harder or push our limits so we can win or succeed in what we are doing. When competing you know there will be a reward for the winner, which increases the drive and demand to succeed.
Now that most of us are remote, we need to get creative with getting our athletes/clients engaged and excited to train. I have found that following up with a reward or prize will increase buy-in and get more accountability from everyone! Below are three ways to create competition remotely:

*TeamBuildr Tip* Using the Team Feed is a great way to create a dialogue between yourself and your athletes and between your athletes with each other! |
Staying engaged and competitive during this time has been challenging, but hopefully using these three ideas will start the process and bridge the gap. There are endless ways to create competition remotely so get creative and make the most of it! Do not hesitate to use these ideas or research others even after the pandemic has ended. Competitions and challenges can be used year-round whether in the gym, weight room, or at home.
