I took the 'Exercise Physiology for Coaches' course to learn more about the science behind exercise and how to create better training plans for my clients. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered a range of topics, from anatomy to sports psychology. The instructors were okay, and the course materials were decent. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on periodization - it was super helpful in understanding how to structure training programs for different types of athletes. Overall, I'm glad I took the course, and I feel like it's helped me become a better coach. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that some of the material felt a bit dry at times.
