Katie Dabrowski returns to Coach 'Em Up to discuss training, rehabilitation, and the growth of Old Bull Athletics with Tim Riley.

Katie shares insights on hiring practices at her expanding business, the crucial connection between metabolic health and musculoskeletal pain, and practical strategies for integrating cardio into rehabilitation programs. The conversation explores how to help clients overcome resistance to cardiovascular training, navigate societal pressures around body image (especially for women), and develop a healthier relationship with pain and injury.

Katie emphasizes the importance of pattern recognition in client experiences, managing complex pain conversations without alienating clients, and promoting realistic expectations about pain as a normal part of being human. She also addresses common misconceptions around training and injury, discussing how fear of getting hurt often prevents people from exercising, when inactivity actually poses greater health risks.

Get actionable advice on coaching diverse movement styles without demonizing client preferences, and discover Katie's approach to physical therapy that empowers clients rather than creating dependency.
