Which documents must clients fill out before working with a coach?

Clients must fill out a health history questionnaire, medical release, and liability waiver before commencing work with a coach because these documents are vital for ensuring the safety and well-being of the client during the coaching process.

The health history questionnaire provides the coach with important information about the client's prior injuries, medical conditions, and general health status. This information is critical for tailoring a training program that meets the individual needs of the client while minimizing the risk of injury.

The medical release gives the coach permission to discuss the client's health issues with medical professionals if necessary, which can be essential if any concerns arise during training. It ensures that the coach can take proper precautions and respects the client's health limitations.

The liability waiver is crucial for the coach’s protection. It outlines the risks associated with physical activity and confirms that the client understands these risks and agrees not to hold the coach liable for any injuries or issues that may arise during training.

These three documents collectively ensure that the coaching relationship is built on a foundation of clear communication and mutual understanding of health and safety, which underscores the importance of having these forms completed before any coaching begins.
