What do the names Michael Jordan, Bethany Hamilton, Lionel Messi, Venus & Serena Williams, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, Simone Biles, Orel Hershiser, Keri Strug, Pavel Datsyuk, Kayla Harrison, Tom Brady, and Abby Wombach have in common? Each of these recognized exceptional athletes were not born branded #1 athletes. They overcame multiple adversities, ranging from the physical to the emotional, challenging their fortitude and passion. The nature - nurture experiences effecting individual traits influenced how and when excellence emerged.
Often, athletes are commoditized by their statistics. My passion is to reliably deconstruct the "why" behind those numbers into personality and behavior traits. Understanding the whole person validates trade, draft, player development decisions. Ensuring culture-fit, role acceptance, providing preventative resources, streamlining player development saves potentially millions while fast tracking success.
