Personal Narrative: My Coaching Experience

My coaching experience was challenging but overall a great experience. Over the past few weeks, I got a chance to learn more about my client and also help her achieve her goals of water consumption. Overall my client did a good job with keeping up with her water intake. I know that it is not an easy task to write down the amount of water that is being consume, but she made extreme efforts to make complete the logs. It was difficult meeting up with my client due to the fact that we have conflicted schedules. However, we text communicated via text, phone calls, social media, facetime, and emails.

How about you?” There was a time I sent her a picture of my full water bottle on snapchat (social media) and continued sending her picture throughout the day of the water amount lowering. When I refilled the bottle as well. My role as a coach could have been improved as in contacting my client more and making sure she was on point. In conclusion I feel she has developed a new existence, because she recognizes the importance of water consumption. Now, more than ever before, and I grateful for
