Gary embraces the following performance philosophy: The Concept of Adaptive Performance State (APS)©.
One of the most difficult challenges facing an athlete is adapting to change, and applying changes while managing the inconsistent nature of their sport. This inconsistency can be predicated on both internal and external factors. As a self-organizing organism, it is imperative that the athlete has a performance process from which they can create physiological and psychological harmony. The guiding principles outlined in the Adaptive Performance State (APS) concept can serve as a platform for the athlete to achieve this process and the ultimate goal of skill mastery.
