FAQs
Is 15 minutes enough time to get anything done?
Emphatic YES! It is a perfect amount of time to address a simple issue like, “What simple thing can I do TODAY to improve my Athletic Process for Today?” Or to answer 1 or 2 questions about how to maximize YOUR current Athletic Process for Sports… or Life.
What does a session look like?
We take inventory… In a 15 minute TWEAK we take a quick verbal inventory of YOUR Competitive Process, all four parts: Posture, Position, Proficiency and Power. Then we have YOU stand and move to take a quick visual inventory of all four “Ps”. Then discuss YOUR primary concern with YOUR Athletic Process and offer a simple Cue-Based solution for YOUR concern.
Can a new student start with a TWEAK?
YES. Anyone can start with a TWEAK. This is generally true with all 4 of our services. The one possible exception is that if YOU want a complete reconstruction of YOUR Athletic Process, we would need a NEEDS & WANTS ASSESSMENT completed as a First Step in designing a program that will allow YOU to have YOUR brand new Athletic Process as soon as possible.
If I've never worked with you before, what is the optimal path you'd like me to follow for success?
First step in success is to create a stable, coachable platform for performance. This is true in ALL aspects of life, it is just more obvious in sports. In other words, create an Athletic Machine that can facilitate the skills desired in YOUR performance. Second step is to maximize the strength of that machine for its purpose, in this case YOUR Sport. And finally, learn how that newly stabilized and stronger machine changes the skills YOU already have, which new skills are now available to you.
STEP 1 – Stabilize YOUR Athletic Machine.
STEP 2 – Strengthen YOUR Athletic Machine.
STEP 3 – Synchronize 1 & 2 with the skills you have or want.
What are some examples of what I might learn??
What YOU might learn from our 15-minute meeting… It will be significantly determined by the combination of YOUR wish list and what our inventories of your Competitive Process indicates are YOUR possibilities and potentials. Could be something as simple as cue that gives you ideal Performance Posture, or as profound as discovering what it feels like to have YOUR hips work like hips (instead of a wall) in the way of smooth actions, or that YOU really want a full TUNE-UP of your Athletic Process as well.
Am I getting a skills lesson or exercises??
It is very important to remember that this is NOT a Skills Lesson. Rather, it is a review and TWEAK of YOUR Athletic and Competitive Process. RHINO ATHLETICS is not a Professional Coaching resource specific to one sport, we ARE a Maximum Athletic Performance resource that is incredibly good at Energy Production & Efficiency in Performance Mechanics… although, we DO have some incredibly talented Professional Colleagues in practically every sport that we work with to make sure what we do will fit YOUR performance NEEDS & WANTS.
Should I send a video of me preforming my sport??
YOU can definitely send a video of YOUR doing what you do, although it is not required for a 15 minute TWEAK. More than the other training formats we offer, TWEAKS are intended to engage YOUR Mind-Body connection with unique cues that work for YOU. They are NOT intended to be used to make dramatic changes or create anything new in YOUR Athletic Process – that takes significantly more time than 15 minutes.
From where should I setup to ZOOM My Sport??
The options are ALL YOURS, couch to field, pitch, range or court all works for us. The minimum space we need from our perspective is that you have enough space to stand and extend your arms fully in front and to the side of you, all while on camera. Whether it is YOUR couch, office or a specific performance venue makes no difference for the result of a TWEAK – a specific performance venue may be (way) more than necessary as we do not have enough time in 15 minutes to teach drills or exercises effectively.
Are in-person sessions available?
YES! Especially if you find yourself in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. I am ALWAYS open to coordinating coincidental travel with YOUR location (if possible)… or, if you want to cover travel & lodging expenses, I can always meet with you at a mutually convenient time and place – please email me directly if YOU have that request at coachrhino@rhinoathletics.com
