Arete is of Greek origin and is defined as "excellence of any kind." Excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential. The Greeks believed in the concept of the "citizen-athlete" and that athletics played an integral part in developing the whole person through mind, body and soul. My philosophy is centered around this concept and drives my pursuit of excellence. I would love to share my passion and help you on your pursuit of excellence.
