"Peter: my son Terell enjoyed your program last week. Coincidentally he dunked last night for the first time! Sincerely, Rachel Winney"
The Alpha Athlete Program is a multi -part system that addresses the factors controlling athletic performance - physical, technical, mental and emotional.
The cornerstone of the program is Ki-Hara Power Stretching. Ki-Hara is the same system that elite athletes like Olympic superstar swimmer Dara Torres and Olympic Gold Medalist gymnast Nastia Liukin, as well as NBA MLB and NHL stars use to elevate their performances - and eliminate injuries.
Ki-Hara is also an integral part of my Elite Athlete workshops - either off-site as with the Albany Legends (I'm their Strength, conditioning and Performance Coach) at right, or on-site with members of the Albany Running Exchange)
Here is what coaches have said about Human HyperFormance and Ki-Hara.
“Peter: I am personally very pleased with the program’s effectiveness.”Gina Castelli, Head Coach, Siena Women’s Basketball
“Peter: our team really benefited from your presentation on Resistance Stretching.A number of our student-athletes came forward with various issues and they all found them improved after only a few minutes of work.”Roberto Vives, Head Coach, Indoor and Outdoor Track, University at Albany
"After about three weeks the girls could see a difference in their muscle tone in their arms and abdominal area. After seeing those results the girls knew the exercises were really working. My injuries were a lot less this year and I really think this program had a big effect on that as well so thank you again Pete." Mark Gatta, Head Coach, Scotia Glenville Girls Lacrosse
Additional components of the Alpha Athlete Program include age-appropriate
plyometrics specifically designed and sequenced to train explosive power
strength training to rapidly and safely improve raw strength
mental training to potentiate available muscle mass - Demand Motor Memory
core training to help injury-proof the athlete while improving overall performance
agility and speed training - both linear and non-linear speed
sport-specific movement training
As a bonus, your athlete will learn the RIGHT way to stretch for optimum flexibility, performance and injury prevention.
The Alpha Athlete Program is the culmination of my experience in human performance, including my studies in psychology at Union College and graduate work in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Connecticut, my experience as a championship-winning Head Track and Field Coach at Scotia Glenville (my last 4 years there produced 3 state champion teams, 1 runner up, and individual state champions and nationally ranked athletes), my studies with Brent McFarlane, Head Coach of Track and Field for Team Canada for the Sydney Olympics,my certification as an Optimal Breathing Development® Specialist, my attaining Emotional Freedom Technique Advanced Practitioner status, my certification in Ki-Hara Power Stretching, and my certification by the International Youth Conditioning Association as a High School Strength and Conditioning Specialist.Ki-Hara was developed by my good friends Steve Sierra and Anne Tierney, and their clients have included 12 time Olympic Medalist and national record holder swimmer Dara Torres, Olympic All-Around gold medalist gymnast Nastia Liukin, Major League Baseball star Jayson Werth, NBA star Allan Houston and many more.
Cost is $500 per 5 week block, with a maximum of 4 athletes. If 4 athletes book the sessions together, they receive a 25% discount. Classes last about an hour and meet twice a week, with one day training legs and one day training arms. Core and brain training occur both days.
Call 518-727-6233 for available times; class times can be scheduled to accomodate groups.

I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for working so hard to create a program to meet the specific goals Danny was looking for. Our goal was to increase his core strength, his stability and balance, as well as his power and explosiveness - and all have been achieved since Danny has been involved with your program.
Not only does Danny have fun working out at your facility, the results he achieved are phenomenal. Amazingly, In less than two weeks he drastically increased the flexibility and range of motion in his hamstrings and improved his vertical leap by over 7 inches!
In addition, since the Fall Danny has increased the velocity of his fastball by 6 mph!
Danny has fun and the results speak for themselves - thank you for working with him.
Sincerely,
Dan Maynard
My son Jeffrey has been going to Human HyperFormance for the last four months.I've already seen increased flexibility, jumping height, agility, and most importantly confidence.Peter's extensive background and holistic approach to fitness allows him to adapt to each kid’s physical needs, personal goals, and their specific sports needs.Peter brings out the best in the kids as he gets them to engage in their health. As Jeffrey says, "It's fun: like working out but not".
