1. New Athlete

Welcome to New Athlete. If you're here to improve your skills, speed, stamina, strength or stretch ability, then you're in the right place. But there's a lot more on offer with New Athlete Project. My name is Keegan Smith. I started New Athlete Project because I could see that mankind's athletic ability is slipping. And to me, it's the best place to start if we want to make a better world is with our own physicality. It's something very concrete. It's something that we can be really sure about. You can go to an Anthony Robbins event and be all excited and want to change your life, but then what do you do after that? And a lot of people have been to those events and some have changed their lives, but a lot of people go back into their old habits. What I love about we're doing with New Athlete, it's in your life every day, and it gives you the opportunity to become a much better version of yourself. And you don't just have to listen to me get excited about how amazing this has been for me and for thousands of others. You get your own personal experience of it, which you don't have to doubt. You can build confidence, and confidence in life comes from capacity. So as your capacity improves exponentially within this program, your confidence will shift too. So you're having a very different mental experience of life. Now. Generally, people are coming here because they want to improve their body composition. They want to overcome little niggles and replace that thing that's holding them back with the ability to do the things that they want to do. Maybe they want to improve mobility. Whichever reasons you're here for, we are well positioned to be able to support you with those goals. I've overcome all kinds of injuries myself. I've coached world champion athletes. I've been the part of building programs like ATG from Knees Over Toes Guy. And the coach mentorship of that was my business that I built to support atg. I'm well qualified to support you to achieve these common goals of improving body composition, getting mobile, overcoming niggling issues. There's also something much, much bigger on offer within New Athlete. And it's something that we don't talk about too much before you come into the program because it doesn't really make sense in the modern paradigm. People are going to these glower gym locations under LED lights and they want to kind of look good for a photo for Instagram, and it's all within this model of the world that isn't working very well for people. Objectively, we're not doing very well mentally or physically. There is a new model on offer here with New Athlete Project and it's centered around your brain. And as crazy as it sounds, the brain is something that most people aren't that interested in improving when they think about athleticism or they think about improving their lives. But it is our primary interface with the outside world. And when you improve it in structure and in function, then a whole new possibility opens up for your life. So I'm going to offer you the opportunity to dramatically improve the structure and function of your brain. And it's also really important when you do this and you improve your balance and your speed, you then have the ability to produce a lot more force and body composition and stretching and all those things become much easier when the brain is working better. And so these methods are proven to change the structure of the brain. They are literally brain building protocols where you increase the connection between the left and right of the brain. You increase the creativity of the brain by activating the dormant, often more dormant right side of the brain which correlates to the left side of the body. You get a very different experience of life through what we're doing here. And I've had that for myself. I had my battles with not feeling amazing about life through my teens and twenties. Like many, I felt like the world wasn't going in an amazing direction. I didn't really know where I fit within that. This training has been a huge part of that shift. I'm now happily married, three children. I have these athletic villages around the world and I get to build this new athlete project full time. Help coaches and athletes and anyone who wants to have a different experience of life had a much have a much better experience of life through their physicality. So in this new Athlete Builder series, I'm going to be showing you through how it all works, why we put it together in this way. This is an open invitation and an exploratory process for me. New athletes only been around for a few months at the time of recording this first video, but it's been 20 plus years in the making. I was obsessed with understanding strength and conditioning sports science. From about 15 years old I was reading the textbooks. Now I'm 42. It's been a while that I'm obsessed about athletic performance and I've had some amazing results. But I know that new athlete is a whole level above anything that I've ever done before. And it takes a little bit to understand and it takes a little bit to understand why we're doing it. The invitation is there for you to embrace this new philosophy of athleticism and see what it does for you. If it doesn't change too much about how you feel from day to day and how your brain's working and your view on life, that's fine. But I've seen it work for thousands already, and this is now better presented and clearer than ever before. We will continually be updating the app and building out the process and support for you. We have a team of coaches and individuals here who really do want to see you get amazing results with this. This is not some quick cash business. This is about building a generational solution for athleticism that doesn't just impact you, but impacts your children, maybe your parents and maybe your grandchildren, your great grandchildren. That's why I'm building these athletic villages. And the invitation is here for you to be the biggest part of this, or as big a part of this as you would like to be, through being an amazing athlete, through supporting the community, through coming to the villages, whatever role you would like to play. I'm open to our interaction to make new athlete project what it can be. So I hope this makes sense and I really look forward to the journey ahead with you.
