In Spring of 2025 I took a class that gave me the task of personal training someone with a disability. I had never personally trained someone before, and my experience with working with people with disabilites was limited, so this was a new and exciting challenge for me. At first, I was very frustrated and discouraged, as the plans I was writing wasn't  being picked up by my client very well in the first few weeks. However, as I learned more, adopted a growth mindset, and changed my approach, the plans started being more beneficial for her and I learned alternative ways to train someone, correct their form, and modify exercise correctly. This experience has taught me how to communicate in many different ways. For example, if my client didn't respond to my verbal cues during an exercise, simply using smaller phrases or my body language to get them to perform an exercise correctly or reach a goal was a lot more effective and made the client understand my plan. It also helped me think critically, especially when I was developing my plans for the upcoming weeks. I had to think about my client's goals, what exercises they would respond to the best, what modifications and progressions I could give to my client, and how many sets and reps we would do each exercise for.
