In this episode of The Gi Spot, co-hosts Rach and Kaz dig into a topic most people think they’re nailing — but probably aren’t: how to actually get the most out of your coach.

From Rach’s side of the mat, this is about more than drilling hard and asking questions — it’s about being coachable, building real trust, and showing your coach that you’re serious about improving. From Kaz’s corner, it’s about what it feels like to be on the receiving end of great coaching — and what you can do to make it happen more often.

Together, they lay out 10 clear, sometimes blunt, always practical ways to deepen that coach–student relationship. Expect tips on communication, mindset, mat etiquette, and the kind of self-awareness that gets you noticed for the rightreasons.

Whether you train twice a week or you’re chasing comp medals, this episode will help you become the kind of athlete a coach wants to build with — not just correct mid-roll.
