So You Want to Be a Coach?

Carlès and Daphne are back with yet another carefully planned (?) yap session. We cover why, or if, indoor cycling is losing relevance, what riders actually want and what coaches are giving, and why the role of coach should change for the better. If you care about the future of indoor cycling, this is for you. Let us know in the comments or in the dm's what you think :)

We stopped teaching at the studio and suddenly had to ask: do we even exist without a mic and a bike? Between Daphne launching literally anything and Carlès making "big adult career decisions", this episode is equal parts chaos, wisdom, and questionable quotes.

You've read it: WE FEEL WEIRD.In this episode, we unpack the weird space we’ve been sitting in lately. Coaching used to feel clear—show up, give your best, grow. Lately? Not so much. We talk about the uncertainty that’s crept in, how our perspective on coaching has shifted, and what it means to build a career in an industry that doesn’t always feel stable or aligned. From studio politics to shifting priorities, we’re questioning what we want, what we expect from this work, and what’s next. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from something you used to love, this one will probably hit.REACH OUT - WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

Two months late, Carlès and Daphne kick off the new year by breaking down the “ins” and “outs” of coaching, training, and mindset—based on input from you.. They share their own experiences, from Daphne coaching in Mexico to Carlès training in New York, and dive into topics like recovery, taking credit for hard work, and ditching unnecessary humility. A mix of real talk, humor, and lessons learned—this episode is all about growth and never getting stuck in one way of doing things.

In the first episode of So You Want To Be A Coach, Carlès and Daphne are diving into the always-on expectation that comes with being a cycling coach. How do you stay ‘on’ when life throws you curveballs? What happens when your tank is running on empty, but your riders are counting on you to deliver? We'd like to hear your thoughts on this too :) Connect with us on IG: @okcarles @daphne.spins
