We sat down with Adam to hear a little more about his perspective on the Tactical Athlete. Here is what he had to say:
(TA-LB): The themes of the Tactical Athlete Leadership Board are Readiness, Resilience, and Recovery. From your perspective, why are these themes essential, and what about them resonates with your experience in the human performance industry?
(Adam): These 3 R's encompass so many connected domains and solutions--to include health/medical/performance and related technologies. The future success of human optimization will continue to be more quantifiable---which is in the center of what I have been focused on for over two decades. Very interested and engaged in the collision of historically siloed efforts--for new and compelling insights!
(TA-LB): Looking to the future, what technological innovation do you think will have the most significant impact on tactical athletes?
(Adam): Predictive and prescriptive optimization.
(TA-LB): The spirit of the TALB is to bring a diverse set of perspectives to the table aligned toward a singular purpose: to sustain the tactical athlete of today and preparing for the tactical athlete of tomorrow. Why is it essential for the broader human performance industry to work together towards this end?
(Adam): A common data architecture for health and human performance.
(TA-LB): What is the greatest challenge to innovation in the human performance sector?
(Adam): This problem space is much too broad and complicated to be tackled in isolation. We will run out of time trying to go at it alone----we must leverage and partner to leap ahead.
