Actually, there is nothing wrong with choosing who you want to work with. It makes your job more enjoyable and fulfilling when you have clients (athletes or serious lifters) cooperating with your training methods. Make no apologies about it...I can't stand 25% of the people I train because they can't suck it up or they wuss out, but at the end of the day it is a J-O-B for those small few ...and a P-A-S-S-I-O-N for the other 75%.

You know what I mean....I know you do brotha.
