Can you sum that up?
We want our athletes to be happier, healthier, and higher-performing. We believe that there is no single methodology that’s perfect for all athletes, but that training must be individualized.
We believe in training that is catered to an individual’s strengths, background, and goals and is adapted to how the athlete is progressing (and other events in his or her life). We believe in focusing on developing a love for the process of self-improvement and setting process-oriented goals.
We believe in science and believe that data can be useful (though too much data can also be overwhelming and distracting).
And we believe in the power of personal connection between humans for motivation and inspiration.
