The Philosophy of Sports to the Maxx

"Zen and Art of Movement Sports, or the Tao of the Extreme," these are how people describe their experience with Sports to the Maxx. The difference is the "Maxx Method" integrates the technique of the extreme sport while simultaneously doing exercises with personal growth and balance. What happens after some time is an unprecedented stillness, while moving and the idea of "being" one with sport.

Through this special form of training, Sports to the Maxx guides people to build muscle, develop flexibility, and experience the "art" of living the sport. The training is balanced between physical technique, psychological games, and spiritual exercises. By understanding the relationship between the connection of the body, mind and spirit, people begin to develop and acquire extraordinary distinctions and exceed their perceived limitations with newly found awareness, balance and confidence. These sports give people the opportunity to play with other dynamics in an inspirational outdoor environment, while experiencing the exhilaration of getting in great shape.

Through inspiration, Sports to the Maxx coaches people to work out the body and transform the inner state of being. Patanjali (a philosopher, second century B.C.) said,

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

While coaching in the technique of the extreme sport, Sports to the Maxx strengthens the inner body, which in turn inspires the outer body; it is like a spiraling of energy. When a person is coached during exercise at their maximum heart rate, with a sport that not only is physically challenging, but also psychologically confronting, physical and personal breakthroughs are predictable.

Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force." Sports to the Maxx's training uses spiritual force to develop physical strength (and visa-versa), through the coaching conversation, and the result is, growth. It's not what you are doing, it's who you are being, in the process, and that is an important part of the Sports to the MaxxMethodÔ, the gift of being present. Sports to the Maxx examines people's movements so they can discover the patterns that hold them back in life from being all they can be.

The Maxx Method coaches the distinction of where physical movements, parallel with the dynamics of their personal lives. Explained in the MaxxMethodÔ of coaching, "If you look ahead, you move ahead; if you look up, you stay up, if you look down, you fall down." If a person repeats the movement still aware of the problem but is unable to change it with physical effort, than it's source is in another domain.

What is than explored in the coaching is how this dynamic may live in a person's life. An example of how the physical/psychological correlation works with the inability of someone to keep their eyes looking ahead, this motion translates to the person's ability to look at their future, commit to a direction confidently with set goals.

A person, who is coached to bend their knees, repeatedly and can not execute the move, will often have a challenging time with "rigidity" as an issue in their life. By learning to bend their knees, they than gain the possibility of more flexibility, not only in their physical body with the sport, but also in other areas of their life, such as; work, family or relationships, where being flexible could provide more freedom.

Clients have breakthroughs with what they believe they can do, and experience a transformation in many areas of their lives as a result of gaining physical balance, developing specific skills and comprehending how it is all related.

Sports that require the body to move faster than it would naturally, afford people the opportunity to move through their fears faster and go into the realm of possibility. Sports to the Maxx's method and philosophy coaches, not only sports, but also life- to the Maxx. A law of physics states that "A body in motion will stay in motion", therefore when coaching a whole "Being" in motion (mind, body and spirit simultaneously), unprecedented extraordinary results are common; and what is possible is a breakthrough with life moving forward, powerfully. A whole being in motion, coached in transformation, will stay in the state of transformation, aligning with life's natural state- change. Through the paradigm of working out while moving inward, life force is present. -

Tom Robbins said, "If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it into the wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic." That magic is present when you experience the art of moving your life- to the Maxx with Sports.

Once you become aware of the movement stopping you, yet are still unable to execute it, (and it's clearly not because of a physical limitation), it lives in another domain.

--Joseph Campbell, who taught at Sarah Lawrence College, where I graduated; explained, "For when a heart insists on its destiny, resisting the general blandishment, then the agony is great; so too is the danger. Forces will have been set in motion beyond the reckoning of the senses. Sequences of events from the corners of the world will draw gradually together, and miracles of coincidence bring the inevitable to pass.

I have learned this at least by my experiments: That if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. -Henry David Thoreau

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffective, concerning all acts of initiative (and creation). There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never other wise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

I'm reminded of one of Goethe's couplets,

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
Begin it now!
-W.H. Murray

Philosophy
Through the paradigm of working out while moving inward, life force expands and contracts in equal proportion thus demonstrating the recently developed theory about the universe, in quantum physics. by Stephan Hawkins, and earlier by Albert Einstein who stated that matter is neither created of destroyed .

If we move our body, and stretch our minds, simultaneously inspiring our spirit to be in alignment with the soul's purpose; what occurs is transformation in the whole being. A law of physics states that body in motion will stay in motion, so a Being in motion will have unprecedented extraordinary results-"breakthroughs with their lives moving powerfully."

As the laws of physics states, "Bodys in motion will stay in motion;" With the right type of coaching that's where major breakthroughs happen.
