In January 2015, Sam Parfitt brought together an elite selection of athletes, coaches, and sport psychologists to think about how to improve the condition of sport.
Every member of the team believes sport can be a transformative force for good in the life of an individual, and for society at large. But while we recognize the immense power of sport, we are also acutely aware of the problems that surround sport. Sport can be unhealthy, even harmful. Many never realize the beauty in becoming a "true" athlete.
We hope to remedy this paradox with an innovative, mind/body/spirit approach to sport. We mesh tai-chi, sensory awakening techniques, meditation, mindfulness, and sport psychology to enhance the experience of an athlete, improving performance and transforming the culture of sport for good.
