Points

• By incorporating concrete examples and workshops into each chapter, the content will become more practical.

• You may also consider separating content for beginners and advanced learners according to the reader's level.

• It is important to update the content periodically based on the latest research findings and industry trends.

The above is just one example of coaching basics. Please customize it yourselves according to your own experience and target audience. A textbook is meant to create a foundation. If there are too many branches and leaves, it will cause confusion, so let's first strive to make the trunk thick!

• Level: Adjust content to suit each level—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—depending on the client.

• Expertise: Cover a wider range of fields beyond just running, such as nutrition, mental health, and injury prevention.
