The Story Behind I Am
With a foundation in faith I AM focuses on lifting others up and elevating lives and performance.
Life long performance and health is inspired by Kate Decker's dad, a retired Army veteran, who at age 80 worked out 5+ days a week, still could pump out 50 push-ups, and went scuba diving around the world.
​
Her different way of thinking started as a young track athlete, when many on her team had shin issues. Kate realized they were all on the inside leg. Sharing this information, the team implemented a change and during practice ran in the opposite direction. The shin issues were then considerably reduced.
Now after a significant amount of continuing education and working with other experts in the field for 20 years, she understands more in depth the changes which occur to myofascia, stride length, muscle balance/imbalance and significance of repetitive motions on the body and potential increase in risk of injury.
​
An athletics for life approach starts with creating a strong foundation while enhancing performance and reducing risk of potential injury.
Helping to reduce potential risk of injury is always on the forefront and Kate has been part of several teams that reduced injury rate by 40% or more.
