Why the Clipper ship?
Clipper ships were renowned for their speed and adaptability. Every possible inch of a Clipper ship’s three masts was covered with square sails to maximize its speed potential allowing it to travel 100+ nautical miles further per day than all other ships of the time.
We adopted the symbolism of the Clipper ship because at HELM make you as sharp, swift and deliberate when you perform as you possibly can be. Clipper ships were able to dominate the merchant markets during the 19th century not only because of their physical construction but also because of the ambitious captains that fearlessly sailed them. Athletes follow this same construct; it takes more than a physical framework to achieve peak performance.
At HELM will help you “captain” your performance by providing you tools to maximize your genetic potential and training.
