Brad Kearns Personal Coaching

A refreshing and holistic approach to peak performance in athletics and in life

My coaching services are for people of all ability levels and performance goals – the only pre-requisite is passion, a desire to improve, do things right and have fun! My methods transcend the typical coach/athlete relationship of force-fed training schedules with little attention to the holistic lifestyle elements that make you a dynamic, healthy human being. Robotic 'dial-a-workout' coaching is a narrow and superficial approach to the pursuit of athletic and personal excellence.

I offer a holistic program – encompassing all lifestyle elements to ensure that your athletic pursuits are a vehicle for personal growth, not a mirror of compulsive, superficial behavior patterns common among highly motivated, goal-oriented people. The program focus will be on fun, balance and appreciating the higher ideals of your athletic endeavors – not on superficial results.
