Athletes Performance & Wellness- The Antifragile Academy

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nick Holton, Co-Founder of The Antifragile Academy, located in Philadephia, PA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are an evidence-based education, training, and coaching system that promotes well-being and optimal performance among elite adolescent athletes and C-suite executives.

Tell us about yourself

I first got a taste of coaching when I was in 6th grade. I helped one of my sisters with some soccer skills and watched her go out and have a great game. Her happiness and the notion that I might have had something to do with it were incredibly satisfying. Eventually, that led me to a career of coaching, teaching, and mentoring anyone looking to level up their lives and experience greater growth, well-being, and satisfaction.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Creating a truly evidence-based program. Athletes who move through our training and coaching experience improvements in their ability to cope with adversity (7%), mentally prepare (10%), and peak under pressure (4%). They also have far greater freedom from worry (13%) and significant decreases in negative emotion (-8%).

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Finding the balance between the efficacy of the program or product and the ability to make it scaleable so that we can positively impact millions more. There is always a desire to do more and help more.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Start with the purpose and how the "me" (your skills and strengths) can positively impact the "we" (someone or something that brings meaning to your life).
2. Be a giver, but not so much that you burn yourself out.
3. Learn and practice over and over again. There is no such thing as a coach or business owner who has it all figured out.
