The Fit To Fight Fire team recently sat down with O2X co-founder Adam La Reau to talk about the importance of comprehensive training programs for tactical athletes. In their conversation, Adam highlights the significance of taking responsibility to train for performance so that tactical athletes can keep themselves, their teams, their families, and their communities safe.
Adam shares his background as an accomplished young athlete and going on to become a Navy SEAL, and then on to attend the Harvard Kennedy School. He talks about the preparation it takes to maximize performance for high-stakes situations, and how O2X Human Performance is creating a team focused on teaching firefighters how they can become fit to fight fire.
La Reau talks about the unique team of O2X specialists who have expertise and experience working with tactical athletes that is second to none. The team of O2X specialists has experience training military personnel for the physical demands they face and teaching mental performance skills and leadership principles to endure job-related pressure.
