Sometimes it's weather, sometimes team stuff, or just scheduling headaches. I always try to give everyone a heads-up so no one's left hanging. Honestly, it's not ideal, but it can be a good thing as folks get extra rest, and I get to tweak the session to make it better. Being flexible and keeping everyone in the loop seems to make it work out fine.

 

[Newman]

There is nothing bad in a coach postponing a class. It must be for a reason. And the reason must be genuine. Apart from that, the postponement must not be frequent. When it is frequent, it will be as if he's taking the clients for granted. He should also apologize and let the clients know reason for postponement.

[Brajet]

Oh yeah, I've totally postponed a class before. One time, we were supposed to train outside, and out of nowhere, it started pouring. I had to text everyone that we'd push it back. I gave a new date and threw in some quick home drills so no one would fall behind. Most of the crew actually seemed chill about it, and it kinda made the next session even better since everyone was more rested.

 

[Btaliat]

Handling unexpected things like sudden downpours can really throw a wrench in the plans, but it sounds like you managed it well by rescheduling and providing alternative drills for your students. It's great to hear that the postponement ended up benefiting the group in the end. Flexibility and creativity are definitely valuable traits for a coach!

 

[Newman]

I woke up with a nasty stomach bug. Felt awful canceling, but no one wants a puking coach yelling at them to push harder, right? I sent a group message offering a makeup slot on Sunday afternoon, and most people were super chill about it. One guy even thanked me for not spreading germs everywhere. Honestly, as a coach, you learn that life happens. Postponing beats showing up half-dead and delivering a trash session.
