The best teams play to each others strengths a bit more than the good ones do. This discipline begins by knowing one another’s strengths, weaknesses, dreams, and fears (damnit). You cannot play free together when you’ve not practiced being curious together, first. 7 good minutes is designed to get to know another person. Practice this … Continue reading The best…

We work with a variety of teams, both sports and business. The athletic teams develop callouses as a result of their training. This is good and a natural response to gripping steel and doing hard reps which build strength and provide power to their punch, first step, or shot. Callouses are built by effort.

Been away for nearly six weeks. Came home to my first practice at 6am on Monday. Jet lagged to hell. Loved up … Continue reading Phileo…
