Maximum Performance Group’s goals are to support each
athlete’s pursuit of excellence and inspire personal best
performances. As a result of our athlete’s individual goals,
each of their programs is designed around their personal needs,
from individual strengths and weaknesses, to dietary needs, to skills
execution in the competition arena. Our program is based on three
sound principles in the word, WIP
that stands for Willingness
to Increase Performance.
Beginning with willingness,
each athlete is given a personal inventory questionnaire that requires
among many things, to identify their strengths and weaknesses, goals
and motivation as related to their sport. There are no right or
wrong answers; all answers serve as the athletes starting point
for learning and improvement. Each athlete must be willing to pursue
their own excellence through identifying the areas that are lacking
in the complete package of their performance. When the athlete is
willing to look completely, then the learning curve is defined in
the sense of a time line of events. The MPG program and staff, serve
as qualified mirrors to the athlete, encouraging a non-biased translation
of their motor skills and the ability to execute their skills in
the competition arena.
The second principle is to increase.
By increasing the athlete’s knowledge about their ability
to learn and execute their motor skills as required by their sport.
This principle is a daily staple related to their capacity to improve.
When the athlete is truly driven to increase him or herself, old
habits are more readily abandoned for improvement. The key to applying
this principle, is the old adage, that success build success, therefore
it is imperative that the initial steps be well planned, for success
to build what coaches the world over refer to, as momentum.
The third principle is performance.
Athletic performance outside the competition arena is thoroughly
enjoyed by athletes of all levels in all sports. However, Performances
enjoyed inside the competition arena is a drastically different
set of numbers.
Our final agenda is to provide each athlete with the tools
to execute their skills in any setting, on demand,
on any given day, at any time, to the best of their ability. This
type of training we refer to as competition training and carries
high stress loads early on the in the learning process. However,
once the initial learning phases are under way, the athlete gradually
learns to redirect the stress, into executing their skills on demand.
The art or science of executing competition training to bring
about the needed response for improved results is extremely individualized
and can produce tremendous results on either side of the spectrum.
Staying in tune with each athlete is vital to the rate of progress
that can be expected. Although excellence in sport has been referred
to as a selfish pursuit, rarely does any champion have no one to
thank when the day is done. It can be said that winning performances
are the result of great talent, equipment, planning, conditioning
and or coaching, the common thread to all these factors being successful,
is effective communication.
Professional athletics are extremely complex, each athlete
is unique in every way, while there are great systems in all professional
sports programs, there are an infinite number of talented athletes
that never reach their God given potential simply due to restricted
or poor guidance. At MPG we strive to research and implement a continuous
variety of teaching tools and techniques with the goal of bringing
each athlete closer to their true potential.
