By cmpleting the 5 levels f axis, an individual will gain invaluable insight int safe ways t build true strength and athleticism, flexibility, and disseminate that knwledge t athletes in an effective and efficient manner. The skills and knwledge learned thrugh axis can be categrized as basic physilgical cncepts, bservatin and cmmunicatin skills, and business integratin cncepts. A certified axis instructr will be equipped t build better physical tls fr swimmers t use while adding value t pre-existing and new business mdels.
