Body and Mind Solutions is committed to provide all the tools necessary for each and every athlete to reach their personal and life goals. We believe in setting our goals high. There is no reason to do anything in life unless you do it with a purpose and do it to the best of your ability. As a team, we will help you make the decision to rise above the “average,” and take the rewarding and challenging road to success.

With 20+ years of training and coaching experience, it is clear that there is no cookie-cutter method to success. While some programs work better than others, there is no one-size-fits-all training program that works for everyone. Slavishly following a training plan gleaned from a book or a web site without customizing, monitoring, and adjusting it can be a recipe for failure, injury, or worse. Given this, we believe in the following:

• Athletes are individuals with different strengths, weaknesses, experience, goals, levels of commitment, and life constraints. Thus, every training program needs to be custom designed to best meet individual needs and goals.
• Ongoing and regular two-way communication between coach and athlete is important.  A coach may have expertise in the generalities of training, but ultimately only you know what is best for you on a given day.
• Challenging, clear goals are necessary for improvement which is what our coaching is based on.
• Commitment to personally meaningful goals is the path to success.  While a coach can help you articulate goals, you are ultimately responsible for setting and
  achieving those goals.
• Change and experimentation is good, but radically altering your training or goals every six months based on the latest and greatest "scientific study" is not good.  There are certain time tested training principles that should be included in every program.
• Monitoring and feedback is needed for ongoing improvement.  You learn what is best for you through trial, error, and success.  Knowing what doesn't work for you is as important as knowing what does work for you.

Benefits of Hiring a Coach
Most individuals do not hesitate to seek out expert advice from a tax advisor, accountant, lawyer, or physician, but when it comes to their training, they choose to do it
alone.  After coaching hundreds of individuals, both recreational and competitive, Body and Mind Solutions (BAM) can clearly demonstrate that working with a coach
enables you to:

• Achieve a greater level of physical fitness and mental health than you would on your own.
• Reduce your risk of injuries.
• Become a more knowledgeable and insightful individual.
• Remain accountable to your fitness and mental health goals by working with someone who is monitoring your performance.

BAM's coaching relationship takes place using all methods of communication. While the logistics of the relationship are such that the coach is not present during the
actual implementation of the workouts, the Hammerhead coach still plays an important role in:

• Monitoring workouts
• Providing feedback
• Helping individuals enhance and maintain their training motivation
• Helping their athletes train with a purpose
• Create and maintain a healthy balance throughout their life and teach tools that one can use for a lifetime
• Provide an outside objective opinion.
