Our goal is to improve each athlete’s health, happiness, and performance by formulating an individualized, adaptive, process-oriented approach which harnesses scientific principles and human-to-human connection.

Our Objectives, Values, and Approach

We start with our objectives -- what is our goal for the athlete, coach, and Collective? -- and then list the values we stand for, before finally outlining the approach we expect our coaches to follow.

You

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.
