The Health Coaching Revolution
Twenty years ago, how many people went to Yoga classes? Twenty years ago, who even knew what Pilates was? There is a health revolution going on in the United States. People see plenty of obese people around them, and they don’t want to get that way. Obese people see plenty of skinny, fit people around them, and they want to get that way. Because Americans have an obesity problem, getting healthy is on everyone’s mind – even if they aren’t yet practicing healthy habits.
Because health is the talk of the nation, if not yet the defining characteristic, a health revolution is brewing. Without a doubt, some of that revolution will be headed online.
The Online Health Coaching Revolution
With continual advances in technology, health has gone digital. People wear fitness monitors and keep tracking of pertinent data. Online videos help people get and stay in shape, and more ways to use technology for health reasons are on the way.
Online Health Coaching Jobs
The online health coaching revolution will definitely include online health coaching jobs. Entrepreneurs will build their own health coaching practices through the power of the Internet. Health businesses will grow and flourish, increasing the need to hire health care professionals, including coaches.
But, what do you need to snag one of these online health coaching jobs? Any special training? Any specific degrees?
Health coaches will shape the future of exercise, diet, and nutrition. They will work with doctors and other health care professionals to help patients stay or get healthy through lifestyles changes. This will create a revolution in the health care industry – and health care coaches will be right at the forefront.
Becoming a Health Coach
To get one of these online health coaching jobs, you need to be trained as a health coach. You don’t need any special degree, but you should have the following:
- • A passion for health, nutrition, and exercise.
• A certification from an accredited health coaching program. This program should include the basics of health along with the skills needed to be a coach.
• A course that teaches the basics of behavior modification
• A willingness to work hard
• A desire to help others achieve their goals and dreams
That’s it! But, if you don’t have any of those, you may find it hard to become a health coach and find an online coaching job. The amount of opportunities will be expanding exponentially in the coming years, but so will the competition for jobs and clients as more and more people discover how rewarding it can be to be a coach.
More demand will mean more jobs, but more demand will mean more qualified people compete for these jobs. That’s why taking a respected and accredited coaching program, though not required, is absolutely essential.
