Strength
S.I.K. = Strength Is Key. The name speaks for itself.
Strength is the foundation upon which my coaching is built. The term itself encompasses a range of ideas and concepts:
- Physical Strength
- Mental Strength
- Rigidity
- Resilience
In many cases, strength is perceived as a purely physical trait, often associated with power and resilience.
However, it is much more than that—it represents a proactive mindset, one that actively seeks out challenges and obstacles in order to grow and develop further.
A system that thrives on stress rather than being permanently damaged by it.
From a biological perspective, stressors can be defined as physical inputs that push a biological system—whether a single cell or a complex ecosystem—out of its current state of equilibrium, its homeostasis.
Over the course of evolution, both simple unicellular and complex multicellular organisms have developed countless mechanisms to cope with the diverse stressors present in their environment. This adaptation allows them to establish a new state of homeostasis, a new norm.
When it comes to humans, however, an additional factor must be considered: the psychological component. This introduces an entirely new class of stressors, which not only influence our mental equilibrium but also have a direct impact on our physical homeostasis—and vice versa. This expands the ways in which our dynamic state of balance can be disrupted.
In other words, humans are confronted with a greater number of stressors, all of which require adaptation.
Strength, as a concept, can be further expanded: it can be defined as the will to go beyond mere adaptation to new stressors—beyond mere survival.
