What is the Scholar Program?
A mentorship and University style educational program all in one.
A mentor is indispensable. They generously pass on their knowledge and wisdom to you, so that you can apply that to your own craft in your own unique way. In creating The Scholar Program, we wanted to do our best to mimic the benefits of having a mentor in the new online world.
- University Style Courses- Covering: Coaching and training philosophy, biomechanics, exercise science, psychology, workout development, and more!
- Zoom Training Talks- Monthly online zoom meetings with Jon and Steve to aid in your mentorship. In addition, guest speakers will be part of the issue.
- The Clubhouse- Join 400+ coaches and Steve and Jon in our exclusive chat system where we have lively discussions on all aspects of training. You'll also gain access to mini-courses and get your coaching questions answered in real time!
