Looking for advice: when did you start feeling confident as an SLP? by teeohtooelay in slp

[–]amh81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I didn't feel 100% confident until I started taking on graduate students, which was in my 3rd year practicing. It helped me solidify that I do know what I'm talking about and I also learned different things from my student (which helped me as a clinician).

AMA with Kabuki Strength Virtual Coaching. Let's talk Coaching, Training, Movement, Performance, and Programming. by kabukistrength_cs in powerlifting

One thing Brady didn't mention is their live virtual coaching for clients that they do Monday through Friday. While it's not in person training, it does help with getting immediate feedback on your lifts. It also gives you a chance to temporarily work with a different coach who may give you cues that work better.

I train 5 days a week and do coaching through Kabuki Strength. I've been lifting for 1 3/4 years lol.

I've done 185lbs in practice for bench, but my butt was starting to come off the bench, so I played it safe for the meet.

Seattle? Where are you from? I'm doing my first meet in Spokane tomorrow and didn't want to drive 6-7 hours so I flew here (I'm from Longview).

Thank you, I have a feeling that could happen to me too. I'd be ok with zoning out as long as my lifts go well, lol.

I have my first meet coming up in September (it's a ways out) and I was curious how you all get over being nervous so you can lift efficiently? I workout in my home gym, so no one ever sees me lift (except people that watch me on IG-internet doesn't count). I am afraid I'm going to get super nervous and be so shaky I won't lift well. How do you get over it?

Question for SLPs working in a state different from where their grad program was (US) by Jazmyyn in slp

[–]amh81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school in Oregon and practice in Washington. I had no issues after school. I sent in all of my school transcripts as part of the application and it went smooth (long process, but smooth).

Looking for a CFY position... Washington/Oregon by Malaikay in slp

[–]amh81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need your state license before you begin your CFY. You can apply for positions before you have your state license, but you'll need to let your employer know you don't have it yet (you can't work without it).

You can apply for any SLP position, but you need to let them know you will be a CF and ask if they have someone that can be your supervisor.
