*THP Mission - Provide world class Coaching, Individual program Design, and performance apparel to assist athletes in fulfilling their virtuous potential

What is thp?

THP provides a holistic form of coaching and understand that to reach your true potential you have to comprehend that all areas of your life are connected. We coach and identify areas in an athlete’s life where adversity is occurring i.e. work, relationships, self-sabotage, injuries etc., and provide a coaching modality that addresses each area with a goal to increase mental acuity and emotional readiness. We base our model on positive psychology which as Seligman (2002) noted is to move from a preoccupation with pathology to a more balanced perspective that includes the idea of a “a fulfilled individual and a thriving community” by emphasizing that building strengths in people “is the most potent weapon in the arsenal of therapy” (p.3). We focus on efficient human function and understand that we must have create harmony and congruence in all areas of your life to achieve your goals (Von Guenthener & Hammermesiter, 2007). Finally, THP provides a systematic program of physical training that is balanced with mental coaching. Richard Koestner suggests that “at elite levels, mental skills are responsible for 50% and 90% of the variance in performance during important events or competitions” (Koestner as cited in Barker, 2009, p. 1); Our quintessential mission is to develop athletes physically and psychologically so they can achieve self-mastery and perform to their truest potential.

Background

THP was founded by those that spent decades in public service and experiencing human tragedy and suffering beyond the average person. THP founders have developed a deep appreciation for the fragility of life and have felt obligated to live life to the fullest and to pay it forward. Tomorrow is never promised and when faced with tragedy and/or death, we will question whether we lived our life to our true potential.

THP is also deeply intrigued with the fabric of human capability and seeks to find those that are continually pushing the limits of what is humanly possible. We believe that these select individuals have developed an untapped potential that we seek to learn more about and honor.

Life is too short to be idle. THP is here to help people do things they never thought was possible; To help facilitate humans to push beyond self-doubt and curb fear and replace it with strategic preparation and confidence. Finally, THP seeks to honor and learn from those that are genuinely testing human capability, so that we may be able to harness their strength ,and apply it to our own training and lives.

individual program design

THP understands each individual has different goals, physical ability, interests etc. THP develops individualized programming to cater to an individual's sport, hobby, lifestyle and/or job and develops it to meet a person's goals.

Access to our Individual Design starts with an assessment process which helps determine an athlete's commitment level, character, and whole-person concept.

After the assessment, programming begins with an in-depth consultation to set expectations and develop a plan of action towards reaching your goals.

After the consultation, a testing phase will be programmed to assess an athletes physical capabilities/limitations, movement analysis, and work capacity.

A customized program is finally developed for you that is specific to your body and goals which can be accessed 24/7.
