Now for something completely
different!
For this review, we've got a
Facebook-type of social-networking site created entirely for
trainers and coaches.
This is a great concept - it
allows you to interact and network with like-minded people
in the coaching profession. Doesn't matter what sport or activity
- we're talking Little League all the way to Olympic athletetics
coaches here.

All of us at Staley Training have
joined up on the site - I'll tell you right now, the price is right...FREE.
This is one of my new favorite resources,
which in this case is an awesome social networking site specifically
designed for trainers and coaches. If you've used other social networking
sites like MySpace, FaceBook, or LinkedIn, you already understand
the premise, but if you're not familiar, CoachBook allows you to
put yourself out in front of a large number of your colleagues and
potential clients.
Here's a description taken directly
off the Coachbook
site...

Welcome to CoachBook, the
networking site for coaches, trainers, and sport performance
professionals!
CoachBook is designed for
YOU to do as much self-promotion as possible, so get to it!
CoachBook is not only an interactive networking site, but
it can serve as a central meeting location for your business,
team, or any other group. CoachBook has features that will
keep your group up to date on all events. The following features
are available:
- Posting videos and photos

schedules, workouts, registration forms
- Posting links to other
websites
- Creating a "group"
for members of your team or organization
- Calendar for posting your
group's events

CoachBook is absolutely THE best way
to meet people, exchange tips, submit a resume or post a job opening,
broadcast your website and/or coming events... the list is endless
(true story: within 3 hours of signing up, I had booked a seminar
for a coach who wrote to me after seeing my profile!)
There's a saying out there (can't
remember the proper attribution) that "The main difference
between you now and 5 years from now is the books you read and the
people you meet." And believe me, if you're not out there exchanging
tips and tricks with professional colleagues, you better be reading
a lot of books because you're not likely to make much professional
progress otherwise!
Guys: (and girls): it takes less than
30 seconds to sign up and it's totally free. It takes maybe a few
minutes to set up your profile (you can download pics, vids, website
links, you name it).
So get out of the cave and get connected.
You'll thank me later!
PS: I'm in close contact with the
site's founder, and we're planning some very cool teleseminars and
other valuable membership perks. So get on board now so you don't
miss anything!
