Why the Badger?
The badger is known for its fierce determination, persistence, and courage, often tackling challenges much larger than itself. Just like the badger, this archetype is a symbol of resilience and grit, always ready to tackle adversity head-on. The badger's fearlessness and relentless pursuit of its goals reflect the Resilient Optimiser’s tenacity in both fitness and mental endurance.
Fearless Persistence
Badgers are notorious for their tenacity, never backing down from a fight or challenge. Similarly, the Resilient Optimiser never quits, even when faced with obstacles like injury or setbacks.
Self-Reliant
Badgers are solitary creatures, relying on their own strength and resourcefulness to survive. The Resilient Optimiser often takes an independent approach to training and self-improvement, relying on inner drive and motivation.
Adaptable to Tough Conditions
Badgers are known to survive in harsh environments, adapting to the challenges around them. This mirrors the Resilient Optimiser’s ability to maintain focus and push through stressful, challenging conditions, using mental toughness as their anchor.
Exercise and Flexibility
Athlete
The Resilient Optimiser scores high in the Exercise category, reflecting a strong focus on physical and athletic performance. This individual thrives on pushing their physical limits, finding satisfaction in high-intensity workouts, and taking on challenges that require both strength and stamina.
Their strong mental approach to exercise can mean that, often, The Resilient Optimiser might push through pain or injuries in pursuit of athletic excellence. This approach, combined with an unbalanced approach to nutrition, can lead to overtraining or plateaus.
Injury and Recovery
Restricted
While highly driven, the Resilient Optimiser scores low in Injury and Recovery. This may indicate a tendency to push through injuries or neglect the need for proper recovery, sleep, and mobility work. They are likely to downplay aches, fatigue, or soreness in favour of maintaining their rigorous workout routine, sometimes at the cost of long-term health.
Addressing recovery habits could greatly enhance their overall performance as an increased risk, and occurence, of injuries is likely to hinder athletic progress. Sometimes, listening to your body and not your inner-voice is recommended.
Nutrition and Hydration
Unbalanced
In the Nutrition category, the Resilient Optimiser also scores low, suggesting a less structured or inconsistent approach to hydration, diet, and food choices. While they focus intently on their training, their nutrition may take a backseat, whether due to lack of time, planning, or motivation.
With challenges in both recovery and rest, improved nutrition and hydration are even more essential. Eating and sleeping are key for the body’s recovery and adaptation to exercise stress, and if both are suboptimal, risks of injury, overtraining, and burnout increase.
Headspace
Zen
Scoring high in Headspace, the Resilient Optimiser excels in mental resilience, motivation, and self-control. They handle stress well, often using physical activity as an outlet to manage it, and show a strong ability to remain self-aware of their mental state. Their positive mindset and ability to push through challenges often carries them through tough times in training and life.
Shifting focus to other areas of health can further boost their progress, as overall wellness is a balanced matrix of effort and recovery - performance is sometimes about recovery as well.

Every now and then, you simply get really really really lucky. I met John over 9 months ago and have since been training with him 3 times a week. And if you have ever attempted training before, you will know that the only way you can train 3 times a week, is because you are actually enjoying it and getting results. John is an outstanding coach and a consummate professional, and is also just a really nice and friendly person to spend time with. He works/drives me hard and makes sure every workout is worth our time and effort. My whole body feels the effects of every workout, and as a result, the effects didn't take long to show. Weight loss, muscle growth, overall fitness and wellbeing are all vastly improved, thanks to John's excellent coaching and partnership. I can recommend him very highly.
