PHILOSOPHY
(Alpinist, author, athlete and acclaimed coach) Mark Twight, once wrote that it’s best to, “shape the handle before you sharpen the spear.”
The truth is, if you want your spear to be the sharpest it can possibly be, we’re probably not for you. We are not the sports data scientist crunching numbers to find the extra 1% that could be the difference between winning and losing for the professional elite, we are the holistic coach who builds strong handles. Strong, powerful, resilient handles that can endure battle after battle, with a spear not quite sharp enough to perfectly perform the role of a surgical scalpel, but more than pointy and strong handled enough to be classed a serious weapon. We don’t seek to train those who are the best, but those who want to become their best. Our goal is to be accessible and available to all, so our plan is to build an online offering and community to support this.
