About Athletic Paradigm

Mission Statement

 

 

Athletic Paradigm exists to provide true and authentic paths of opportunity for athletes in their respective sports. Whether seeking playing time, leadership roles, scholarships, or the chance to make their sport their profession, our experience and resources are steeped in the necessary steps required. Athletes need to understand exactly what they need to work on, and master in order to attain the goals they have. They simply don't have time to waste through trial and error.

​

All of our methods were born through extensive experience and trial. As a retired pro athlete who had attained the highest levels of his sport, Athletic Paradigm founder Kamau Peterson looked back at his journey and recognized several gaps in his learning path that would have minimized his learning curve considerably. It is those gaps that we seek to fill through Athletic Paradigm.

​

The coaching profession has similar gaps and holes to fill. Through our team and coach services we aim to to help coaches green and seasoned. Our programs seek to create connectivity and quality programming for teams, and help coaches focus on what makes them great, which can enhance the experience and caliber of the athletes that they service.

Sending our players from our program to speed train with Kamau Peterson during the summer of 2020 was the best decision.  Our players involved in the program arrived at our fall season, having achieved their personal best times ever.  Kamau’s knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to communicate with our athletes were exceptional.  Our players can’t wait to work with Kamau again this summer!
