In this episode of the sports podcast, we hosted Coach Nasser Al-Sheikh, who presented a fresh perspective on the world of training—one that begins with the coach’s relationship with himself and extends to his connection with his trainees.
Coach Nasser believes that training variety is essential, as the body communicates in its own language and must be listened to. When a trainee experiences fatigue or joint pain, the coach’s awareness and intelligent response—whether by allowing rest or adjusting the training plan—become key to maintaining the body’s well-being and performance consistency.
The role of a coach extends beyond the gym, becoming a vital part of building health awareness within the community. By organizing sports events that bring families together, the coach helps strengthen family bonds and promote an active lifestyle. As Nasser explains, training is not just an individual pursuit, but a platform for positive social impact.
Nasser emphasizes that love alone doesn’t guarantee success—true passion is tested through experience. Only those who try what they love and truly connect with it can continue, grow, and give. A coach who works sincerely doesn’t need to advertise himself; his positive impact naturally speaks for him.
According to Nasser, social media can either build or destroy a coach’s reputation. Therefore, the content shared should be scientific, purposeful, and directed toward the right audience at the right time. He also stresses that humility must be genuine—not just a display on the screen.
Nasser believes that a coach’s appearance contributes about 60% to how people perceive him, while performance and knowledge make up the rest. A professional appearance reflects discipline and seriousness, whereas strong performance demonstrates competence and credibility.
Coach Nasser Al-Sheikh concludes by affirming that training is not merely a job, but a meaningful mission. A true coach leads with both heart and mind, reaching people’s hearts before transforming their bodies.
