Challenges are a part of life that eventually helps people to grow. While some people might run away from challenges, bodybuilding veteran Flex Wheeler is the one who likes to face the challenge before he moves on to the next. After tackling life-threatening kidney diseases and serious health conditions, Wheeler continues to fight out every obstacle in his path to live a successful life. Recently, while talking with Muscle And Health, Wheeler opened up about his current profession as a body transformation coach. 

In the interview, he talks about various stages of his life which have led him to his present. Moreover, he discloses the difficulty that a coach faces while preparing a professional bodybuilder for the stage. What did he say about the challenges in coaching? Let us find out here. 

Coaching isn’t as simple as it looks 

When a player or a team succeeds, they are highly acclaimed and appreciated for their performance. However, the coach mostly gets hidden behind all the excitement of the victories. But it doesn’t decrease their hard work behind the achievement. Flex Wheeler, who has turned into a body transformation coach, reveals how difficult it is to work with a professional athlete. 

In the interview with Muscle And Health, Wheeler stated about the tough part. He said, “Athletes are not the easiest people to work on because they must be as close to perfection as the naked eye can see.”

Moreover, the coaching part grows tougher when the margin of improvement becomes thinner. As when that margin becomes less, the role of a coach intensifies and becomes more valuable. He continued, “Coaching someone for the stage is completely different from helping the average soccer mom because when you have someone in front of you who’s aesthetically 80% ‘perfect’, it’s pretty hard to improve on that.”

Other than talking about his current profession, Wheeler also opened up about the most painful days of his life. He recalled the days he used to scream in his bed from the pain the leg amputation had caused him. Moreover, he also revealed how he currently feels about his body, the Signature Series he launched, and much more. 

Although Flex Wheeler told about the difficulties in being the coach, who better than him to fight against the challenges? He has been doing it before his bodybuilding days and continues to do it afterward as well.
