Hey coach.
You want to build your coaching game.
You want to learn from the best.
You want to cover all aspects of coaching: mind, body, spirit, actions. Transforming lives while you transform bodies.
And you probably want to do it at a nice retreat center in Costa Rica on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. (At least, we do.)
We’ll give you the complete package.
Sessions to stretch your brain. Movement to stretch your body.
Learning… networking… and having fun.
- You’ll work with expert PN Coaches Krista Scott-Dixon, Kate Solovieva, and Craig Weller, specialists in behavior change, movement, and getting clients results.
- You’ll get to connect with other Certification students and graduates, learning together.
- You’ll get to play in the Pacific ocean.
- You’ll get daily relaxation and mindfulness sessions.
- You’ll explore — and maybe push — your own coaching potential.
These multi-day sessions, held in Costa Rica, will cater to our Precision Nutrition Coaching Certification students and graduates who are looking to further develop their coaching and self-development skills.
We’ll explore how to integrate and apply:
- best practices and the most up-to-date research from change / behavioral psychology
- practical tactics for helping ourselves and our clients transform their bodies and minds; sustain motivation; and build resilience;
- stress inoculation, self-regulation, and biofeedback training techniques originally developed for elite military operatives;
- movement sessions that develop mental and emotional strength as well as physical capacity and awareness.
Sessions will be a combination of interactive lectures, hands-on practice, and expert feedback aimed at enhancing overall performance and identifying areas for further growth.

Would a spouse/partner/friend who is not a coach, like to be with you in COSTA RICA? They are certainly welcome to join you. They will have access to yoga sessions, non-coach activities, the offerings of the resort and they can join you for all the meals. Also, they will receive a $200 discount since they will not be attending the coaches-only sessions.

An invitation from KSD, Craig, and Kate:
Join us for an amazing, powerful week in Costa Rica as together we explore:
Movement. Mental skills. Motivation. Mastery.
What does it take to become excellent as a coach?
We know you want to be more than “just a trainer”.
You want to be more, and better, than the average coach.
We know that excellence is important to you.
You’ve worked hard, studied hard, and practiced hard to master the basics of the PN Certification.
We see you putting in the effort.
We know you care.
We know you want to serve your clients, to push them, to help them be the best, healthiest, highest-performing versions of themselves.
We know you want to feel confident.
Like you can walk into any coaching situation and own it.
So we wanted to offer something for those of you who want to take your skills to the next level.
Let us show you how to go beyond “just coaching”.
Into transforming your clients’ bodies, choices, and — ultimately — lives.
This is your time — to learn, grow, build your skills, and be taught and challenged by world-class coaches and experts in nutrition, movement, and behavior change
Oh… and have some fun, too, right? (Wouldn’t it be great to finally take a break and do something for YOU, coach?)
So let’s get together.
Let’s hang out. Talk coaching. Learn. Move.
Spend time in one of the most beautiful places on earth, helping each other kick butt.
Register today for this amazing opportunity.

Here’s how you’ll spend your time with us.
Please note that we may change some of the times and focus to better meet the needs of the participants.
Coaching lectures and workshops
We’ll range from educational talks to hands-on coaching workshops where you get to try out new skills, get feedback, and improve your coaching game. We’ll cover things like:

- Assessment, action planning, monitoring, data analysis, follow-up, and outcome-based decision making
- Communicating effectively with clients (including having difficult conversations, interpreting confusing research, and handling conflicts)
- Helping clients find their strengths, resilience, and resources to move forwards
- Mental skills and toughness, including “inoculating” your clients against stress, anxiety, and burnout
- How to become a “mindset athlete”: Elevating your mental and emotional game as a coach
Movement sessions
Like coaching sessions, these will blend education, practice, hands-on application, and feedback on activities like:
- Strength balancing yoga
- Biomechanics
- Muscle activation technique
- Pedagogy of teaching movement skills to clients
- Endurance racing techniques and experiences
- Active rehab modalities
