The Importance of Soft Skills in Training and Coaching with Lee Boyce

Friday, September 6, 2024

The science behind training will always play a large role in the success of both the athlete and coach, but soft skills are a big factor that aren't always given the attention they deserve. In this episode, certified trainers Aaron Patterson and Lee Boyce (also a co-author of Strength Training for All Body Types along with Melody Schoenfeld) discuss the importance of soft skills in training and coaching.

Lee Boyce

Lee Boyce is a strength coach and educator based in Toronto, Canada. He has been helping clients and athletes with strength and conditioning, sport performance, and hypertrophy since 2007. He has developed international recognition as a trainer and as a prolific fitness writer. His expertise has seen him published over 1,200 times by some of the largest publications in the world of fitness and lifestyle media, including, Men's Health, Oxygen, Train Magazine, Inside Fitness, Shape, Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Men's Journal, Esquire, Strong Fitness Magazine, and the National Strength and Conditioning Association's Personal Training Quarterly.

As a college professor, he encourages critical thinking and a departure from the confines of one-size-fits-all, rule-based exercise science advice.
