PHILOSOPHY
SCIENCE AND ART ELITE TRAINING
OUR PHILOSOPHY
GJUUM applies achievements from the field of sports science, sports medicine and other relevant fields of science to get the best out of your Performance.
Most important to us is to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.
With the experiences and data from our work in the last 10 years, we are able to achieve this symbiosis like no other in the world of dance and performance.
With the experience of working with clients and companies worldwide we can rely on comprehensive knowledge, that’s unique in the world of dance and performance.
About PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE can be any kind of outcome or result you are after.
The best dance performance of your life, having great relationships in private and business environment, breaking a world record in 100m sprinting, losing that little extra weight you are carrying around your belly….
Now in scientific terms we KNOW, whatever we can MEASURE, we can IMPROVE.
PERFORMANCE and PHYSIOLOGY
Whether it’s performing arts, sports or „normal“ life, everywhere we find a variety of individuals with unique skills and abilities – yet what unites all of them is their PHYSIOLOGY.
For dancers and athletes, it may be relatively clear, that a lot of their PERFORMANCE ability is depending on their PHYSIOLOGY.
It might be less obvious, yet this is still equally true for your FEELINGS, THINKING, BEHAVIOR and EMOTIONS.
This interplay is also relevant in non-dancers like managers, brokers and other individuals.
Which FACTORS are driving your PERFORMANCE?
Which factors are driving your performance and how is performance measured?
The knowledge about this is already existing, but mostly stays within the scientists and does not reach a broader audience to benefit from it.
But with this knowledge and its application, it will allow us to deliver high performance consistently and to have a major positive impact on our environments and lives.
Therefore, understanding the FACTORS that drive our PERFORMANCE is crucial.
How your BEHAVIOUR determines your Performance
To achieve a specific result, like a double backflip, triple tour en
Now if you are a choreographer, a ballet director or trainer you want your dancers and athletes to deliver the results you are looking for.
What would be the right buttons to push so they deliver the performance you are after? You would need to figure out what is driving their BEHAVIOUR – and that is the dancers THINKING.
How your THINKING determines your Performance
What we THINK and the way we are thinking will regulate what we are DOING. So if you are giving your dancer an image of what you want to achieve and the dancers think you are just mental, she might not be doing what you are suggesting.
The way training in dance works has been relatively similar for a long period of time and has created similar outcomes also with similar downfalls like high amounts of career-threatening injuries.
So staying with that same old approach will not change the results but consistently create the same ones.
Our thought-processing again is greatly influenced by yet another factor and that is how we FEEL.
How your FEELING determines your Performance
Let’s say you think about starting a diet to finally get rid of that 5 extra little kilos around your waist. But it is also Christmas holiday and you really might feel like going for all those great dinners…
Which part of you will win? Your FEELING or your THINKING?
The way we feel has a way bigger influence on our performance than thinking has. You cannot camouflage a feeling with a thought very easily – a feeling of sadness or stress can be the master of your thinking all day long.
At this point, the master of your feelings sits even deeper inside of you: your pure EMOTIONS.
How your EMOTIONS determine your Performance
EMOTIONS are physiological signals like hormonal output, electric signals, any kind of motion and energetic shift in your body.
Those signals are created by your body, your PHYSIOLOGY.
Being in charge of your physiology then ultimately will give you the ability to control your PERFORMANCE.
PHYSIOLOGY – The unifying key factor
Whether it’s performing arts, sports or „normal“ life, everywhere we find a variety of individuals with unique skills and abilities – yet what unites all of them is their PHYSIOLOGY.
For dancers and athletes, it may be relatively clear, that a lot of their performance ability is depending on their physiology.
It might be less obvious, yet this is still equally true for a manager, an architect or broker.
The better this PHYSIOLOGY is working the higher our chances to deliver high PERFORMANCE.
