Not too long ago in Mumbai, I sat down with Benafsha Gazdar for a conversation that went far beyond fitness.

Benafsha has worked as a Strength & Conditioning Specialist for the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, but what stood out to me most in this conversation was her grounded, responsible approach to coaching people through different health situations — not just training bodies for aesthetics.

What Makes a Good Coach?

A big part of this conversation was really about that question. What actually makes a good coach?

Not just someone who can put a workout together, but someone who understands the person in front of them, their body, their limitations, their goals and their health context.

Beyond Surface-Level Fitness

We spoke about how fitness is often reduced to trends, looks or performance for show, but how responsible coaching is something deeper. It involves understanding people properly and guiding them in a way that actually improves their lives.

From Athlete to Coach

Benafsha’s own journey from athlete to coach shaped the way she approaches her work. Her background in sports science, high-performance environments and real-world coaching all come through in the way she thinks.

Final Reflection

This was one of those conversations that made me reflect on how much depth there can be behind something people usually treat casually.

If this resonates, watch the full episode above.

Love,
Zephyr

I started experiencing miracles in my life (proof after you click the image below), which could NOT be just considered "coincidence".

You can learn how to connect with your Spirit Guides, Spirit Guardians, Guardian Angels, Ancestors, Spirit Animals and More! It's a short 33-minute lesson, split into shorter bite-sized chapters, and you can implement it in your life immediately, in any situation, even if you're a beginner to Spirituality. If you're already a Spiritual Practitioner of any kind, this incantation can lazer-focus the guidance you receive for your clients, from their own Guides (and no other random entities). Check it out and the sensational results I've achieved... here:
