Sebastian Maniscalco is my favorite comic and he is right on with this one.
You know how someone who is “fake positive” can rub you the wrong way?
When I first saw this clip my mind immediately went to a time about 6 years ago when I was struggling through one of the hardest workouts of my life.
Out of the blue a trainer who I barely knew started screaming at me to “push harder, push harder!”
Instead of motivating me, his words only grated on my nerves, and I felt more annoyed than inspired.
At that moment, I started to realize
that being a “cheerleader coach” was not the way to go for me.
I knew there had to be a better approach—one rooted in encouragement, not in mindless babble and shouting.
No “fake positivity” here, just positive encouragement based on honest thoughts.
