The Human Performance Center
If we are lucky, and work very hard, in some part of our lives
we are good. And if we are good, we get the privilege of working
with really good people in a really good environment. In most
other things, we are amateurs. As amateurs, we are expected to
work with other amateurs, in marginal facilities, and to accept
that. As the stars occupy center stage, we watch from the balcony
as spectators. But sports, fitness and health is every bit as
important to my life as it is to an Olympic athlete’s. Why
should that athlete have access to the best coaches and trainers,
the best nutritionists, equipment and facilities, and I don’t?
Once there seemed a good answer to that question. Now, there
isn’t. Now if I am willing to pay for a special experience
the way I am in so many other things, why can’t I have it?
Why not in sport? So we offer it. Imagine the person who was pushed
to sports’ sidelines many years ago, too small, too clumsy,
too afraid. And on that sideline, of course, with poor facilities,
poor coaching, poor everything, sports isn’t very interesting.
Imagine that same person with a second chance, with facilities
that take your breath away. Imagine discovering that you actually
can do things that you gave up believing you could do forty years
ago. That you aren’t too small or too clumsy or too afraid.
Imagine a trainer who doesn’t coach you like an Olympic
athlete, but who treats you like one. Imagine the possibilities.
Imagine your excitement.
