KONA Human Performance
Filed under:
KONA Human Performance is more than a cycling and multisport training service. KONA is about human performance.
"I have invested countless hours creating a multidisciplined approach to training treating the mind, body and spirit, a combination seldom seen in the industry. 
Through continuing education and professional certifications, I have followed my passion for coaching and personal training into such areas as biomechanical assessment, kinesiology, corrective exercises, and nutrition. "
Prior to initiating a training program, an athlete needs the assistance of a trained professional to assess their posture and movement in order to prevent potential injuries and correct muscular imbalances. The coach can then create a plan of exercises to correct muscular imbalances before loading a person with high intensity training. Prescribing a personal exercise program or training plan without proper assessments can be counterproductive and is potentially harmful to athletes.
Nutrition is vital to creating the total athlete and improving performance. Most athletes feel they can eat and drink anything they want since they train hard and burn calories during their workouts. Performance is directly affected by nutrition. KONA will educate clients about nutritional needs and proper supplementation. Every triathlete, runner and cyclists needs to understand their nutritional needs to optimize their training and racing. Athletes must know exactly how many calories/hour and fluid requirements/hour they need for maximum performance. On race day, there is no guess work, it's automatic and nutritional needs are already predetermined by training.
