FAQs of 5 Pillars Program

A: No. While we recognize that sports psychology, creative visualization, and mind-body techniques may be valuable for an individual’s athletic performance, it is NOT what our program focuses on. Our program is based in neuroscience and biochemistry.

Our sole objective is optimizing communication between the brain and the body with the support of nutritional products. This program is designed so that brain, body, and biochemistry work together to make your body perform at levels you never thought possible. Our mission is to make you bigger, stronger, faster, and better.

A: Let’s pose a question: Do you believe in sleep? Let’s say you didn’t. While it has been shown that beliefs can generally have a positive or negative impact on your overall performance, fortunately neurology and biochemistry largely don’t care what you believe. If you stay awake long enough, you will eventually fall asleep, belief or no belief. Likewise, our program works on aspects of your performance that are for the most part, not subject to anyone’s beliefs.

A:

-Young athletes ages 11 and up
-High School Athletes, and Dedicated Amateurs
-Collegiate, Professional, and Elite Athletes
-Weekend Warriors, Executives, and Fitness Optimizers

While different versions of our Five Pillars of Performance program has been been around for about 15 years, and is ideal for athletes of any level and sport looking to transform their performance, our current program has been speci fically tailored for baseball players. Together with our partners at FiveToolReport.com we have created a joint program called “Five by Five” so that players have access to the most advanced performance tools and the most well rounded baseball training possible.

A: A thorough assessment at the start of the program allows us to evaluate what areas of your performance need our assistance most so that we can deliver you the biggest benefits. From balance, coordination, reaction times, stability, endurance, and strength, we’ve got you covered. With our computerized muscle strength testing device, we can also measure the minimum expected benefit in terms of stability and strength from participants.

Frequently, the results are astounding, and even far better than what our minimum expectations are. Additionally, on a limited basis for our high level athletes, we can also provide nutritional and metabolic lab testing, interpretation, and highly individualized nutritional recommendations to make your body as strong and as healthy as possible while also giving you the edge over your competition.

A: Fundamentally, the Five Pillars uses a truly revolutionary neurological “recalibration” procedure which helps to create a stable physical platform on which to build an incredible performance machine. This allows the athlete to unleash their fullest potential.

The Five Pillars of Performance is based on Dr. Daccardi’s key discoveries that the brain-body communications essential to high performance have far more potential than is currently being accessed. Once these capabilities are unlocked, physical performance and control becomes amplified to levels never experienced before. Along with specifically developed nutritional supplement programs, we use a one of a kind series of interactive
brain-body activities coupled with proprietary audio/visual technologies to optimize neurological signaling and control.

A: No. Actually, unless you have heard about Dr. Daccardi’s remarkable results elsewhere, you haven’t. There is nothing else like the Five Pillars of Performance available. It’s based on a series of unique discoveries made by Dr. Daccardi and applied into the world of athletic performance. Not only are we 15 years ahead of everyone else, we’re always developing new performance enhancements all the time. We stay ahead so you can stay ahead of the competition.

A: Dramatic improvements can be measured in core stability, muscle endurance, and peak muscle strength IN REAL TIME. Also, improvements in many sport-specific activities can appear in real time as well, For example: bat head and throwing speeds, agility, etc. These kinds of performance also can greatly improve over time! By going through the Five Pillars, you now have a stable physical platform to build all of your other training on top of, whether it’s physical strength or even learning new skills. That’s right, often you can learn faster too. Other improvements such as increased accuracy and finesse required for power and accuracy in hitting, throwing, catching, as well as improved reaction times, decision-making and agility, can be experienced somewhat immediately. But along with overall strength and core stability, far greater gains can develop over days, weeks, or months for any or all measures.

A: Technically, indefinitely. However, if our client experiences new injuries, surgery, tattoos/piercings, or even normal high-impact sport game play, it can re-introduce significant “noise” in the brain-body communication networks which will then need to be recalibrated. Thus periodic “touch ups” are key for a client to continuing to perform at the highest level.

A: There are no major side-effects. However, some individuals, may feel very relaxed or like they need to rest after the first session. This can also be minimized if necessary for competition purposes. After this initial period, there are frequently only “side benefits” such as sharper concentration ability, quicker thinking, more energy, better digestion and sleep, and a whole host of other health benefits. Most times it just feels like everything you do suddenly got easier.

A: Neuroplasticity is a neurological process where the brain and nervous system “learns” something. We can think of it as “The more you do something, the more efficient and effective you become at it.” This is the process we go through when we learn and practice a new skill. You get better at it with more practice. You’re probably nowhere near as good on the first day of spring training as the last day of the season, for example. We incorporate principles of neuroplasticity into the Five Pillars of Performance in many different ways, speeding up the process of making you more efficient and effective at all the activities important to your game. By removing the conflicting information which slows down this process, not only can you develop your skills faster, but your execution can be vastly improved.

A: Yes of course, and vice-versa. But it’s like having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without either the peanut butter or the jelly. They are programs that reinforce each other for maximum results. Should you decide to do the Five Pillars program alone, it is our suggestion that you use it along with whatever other training programs are available to you for the greatest benefits.

A: No. It amplifies the result of whatever other training programs you are currently doing without interfering in it.
