Lesson 2:
Evolution of RPR
In this portion of the transcript, Coach Tony Holler delves into the origins and evolution of Reflexive Performance Reset (RPR), tracing its roots back to Douglas Hill in South Africa. Initially developed as manual therapy, RPR caught the attention of sports performance experts like Dan Victor, who recognized its potential for enhancing athletic performance. Chris Korfist and others facilitated Douglas Hill's seminars in the United States, which sparked legal challenges due to naming conflicts. This led to the formation of Reflexive Performance Reset, a rebranded American version aimed at optimizing athlete readiness through techniques like self-activation and mindful breathing. Coach Holler highlights the crucial shift from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic states as pivotal for achieving peak athletic performance, emphasizing how RPR helps athletes manage anxiety, prevent injuries, and improve mental clarity, crucial for success in high-pressure competitive environments like track and field.
