WORDS SHAPE WORLDS

And Why the Future Still Belongs to Great Coaches Why This Matters Now We’ve entered a strange moment in fitness history.  Never before have so many people tracked their health, and never before have so many felt confused about what to do with it. Your watch knows how you slept. Your phone knows how much you moved.  An algorithm can estimate your VO₂ max, flag “recovery scores,” and predict readiness before your feet hit the floor.

Today we’re unmasking a quiet but profound threat to coaching—a threat that looks like progress but acts like dogma. We’re talking about Science vs. Scientism.

What if the missing link is something invisible, relentless—and right between your ears and your adrenal glands? Enter cortisol. That so-called “stress hormone” is no myth. It’s a biological messenger with the power to sabotage fat loss, shift where your body stores fat, and blunt your efforts if you ignore it. Studies link chronic stress and elevated cortis

Imagine you’re driving a high-performance car. One road says “Floor it all the time” (overtraining). The other says “Drift without refueling” (undereating). Either way—you end up stalled on the shoulder, engine smoking. In fitness, these are twin threats: training too hard without rest, or  eating too little for the workload you’re asking of your body. Both lead to the same terminal condition: diminished performance, worn-out physiology, and a silhouette of what your progress
