How it all started

.

Like most young athletes Bob struggled to find the elusive Zone. But with his fierce determination, world-class mentors, education and science/ system-based degrees, plus lots of setbacks and bruises, Bob finally figured it out in the martial arts.

.

And he realized the magnitude of the Zone—for the first time in the world of sport, that the Zone was available to anyone in any sport—athlete, coach, leader.

Providing a pathway for good athletes to become great


 

Bob’s formula for the Zone immediately found acceptance at the Olympic level with a gold-medal performance in skeet and was soon followed by many other podium performances in clays and other target sports.

 

The SportExcel high-performance system can now be found at all levels of sport, education, and business, on six continents, providing pathways to:

  • Competitive recreational championships

  • Youth athletic development

  • NCAA / U SPORTS scholarships

  • The Olympic podium

  •  Professional contracts

  • High-performance business leadership
