Coach Brad
But what is HiLevel?
And who is the HiLevel program designed for?
It’s for anyone who feels they’re capable of performing at a much higher level. It’s for you, as an individual, a family or a team. If you feel you have more to give. If you feel that you have more potential. If you feel you have room to improve your skills. And if you feel you have a lot more to accomplish.
The HiLevel process is designed to help you reach your goals. To make an evaluation of your present skills. To be clear about the results you want to produce. And to find the joy in the hard work that will be required to get there.
The process is not easy. You will need to learn some new ways to think, feel and act. You’ll be super-charging the skills and techniques required by the activity. In a family or team, you may have to sacrifice for the common good. You may also have to develop new communication skills, learn to speak up for yourself in the most effective way. You’ll certainly be adjusting your attitude, intensity and focus.
In short, you have to pay the price to be HiLevel.
And in the end, the price will be well worth all you have to do to get it!
I’m Brad Yates, founder of HiLevel Hawai’i. As a coach I work with individuals, teams and families to resolves issues and learn to give their best effort under pressure. I have developed a model for learning to live straight on, to embrace challenges and to turn them into a source of energy and growth.
Who you are as a person or as player at any moment in time has not been determined yet. From my clients, who range in age from ten and up, I have learned first-hand that we all have an infinite capacity to learn how to operate with a sense of acceptance. To find joy and/or value in challenges. To battle with distractions, discomfort and even illness.
The keys to this success are the principles of GED: The ability to train yourself to be Grateful for your challenges. To want to learn how to use your breath to manage your Excitement to perform with power and accuracy. To establish a strong work ethic to maintain the Devotion that allows you to complete the work and experience the joy and satisfaction of getting the job done.
I hope that you will find it easy to be engaged in the material that follows, to be inspired by the process and to able to balance the work with equal parts fun and value.
All of that is what we refer to as HiLevel!
Learn to Operate Above the Line
The HiLevel Process involves learning how to operate “Above the Line” and to separate acceptance and positive behavior from resistance and negative behavior. When you are operating Above the Line you feel good about yourself, good about what you are doing, and good about the team. When you're Below the Line you experience a wide range of negative emotions about yourself, what you are doing, and, of course, about the team.
To operate Above the Line is to choose to be inner-directed and be responsible for your attention, attitude and actions:
Attention
Maintain present moment awareness, to focus on what is happening right now and resist the temptation to focus on thoughts and feelings that belong to the past or future.
Attitude
Sustain a positive mindset and apply all of your positive energy to the people, places and things that are important to you. To achieve harmony of effort as an individual, team and family.
Action
Be present, mindful and focus on the emotions and sensations related to performing the required skills and techniques with just the right amount of intensity and follow–through.
The HiLevel Program
As a HiLevel Performance Coach, I work with individuals and their families in my private practice and with teams (both athletic and corporate) on-site as a consultant. In both cases, I work as a coach, teacher and facilitator.
Mission
My mission is to help individuals and teams perform better.
I do this by providing awareness of individual performance profiles. Teaching the HiLevel Tools and Techniques: the inner skills that include performance breathing, mindfulness, broad and narrow focusing and guided imaginary deep relaxation up to and including hypnosis. Presenting a curriculum aimed at guiding the participants to get better, resolve issues and experience the Power of Flow.
Individual Sessions
Reaching peak individual performance is an amazing experience!
The individual sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes and often include the use of self–evaluations, exercises, psychological reminders and cues to reinforce important feelings, movements, actions and skills. In general, the focus is to complete the required work, to buy-in to the inherent challenges and to achieve worthwhile goals and feel good about the results. It's hard work but the rewards will be massive!
Group Sessions
Group work to match the particular goals of the group.
The group sessions involve building the spirit of core: the feelings of cooperation, the ability to communicate and the desire to work together in the process of becoming very efficient, effective and competitive in the market place. To operate at this level of leadership, the members of the core group must be able work with other team members and management/coaching staff to resolve issues and improve overall performance.
