You can interact effectively with a wide range of stakeholders: clients, parents, trainers, business owners, and even high-profile athletes. A friendly, professional demeanor and a customer-centric mindset are essential.
Business Acumen: Comfort with numbers, metrics, and basic financial concepts. Experience managing or significantly contributing to a profit & loss statement or budget is a big plus.
