PERFECT YOUR PRIME
The Tomahawk Science philosophy counters the prevailing culture of professional athletic training. We eschew the traditional strength and conditioning model in favor of an approach that combines data collection and proactive diagnostics to optimize performance long-term. With these tools, we identify performance barriers and treat them with preventive therapies to keep athletes playing at the highest level, well beyond what was thought to be their prime.
“IT WAS TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WAS DOING LAST SUMMER...THEN, IT WAS ALL ABOUT WEIGHTLIFTING AND TRYING TO GET STRONGER…[NOW] I’M PLAYING A LOT MORE, BUT I FEEL PRETTY FRESH EVERY NIGHT. I HONESTLY THINK I FEEL BETTER NOW THAN I DID IN MY 20’S. I REALLY DO.”
— PATRICK KANE, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

Ian Mack is a renowned sports scientist who has partnered with the world’s best athletes, from Olympic teams to top players in all four major U.S. sports leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL), including his recent work with Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane. Mack was born and raised in Onondaga County in Syracuse, NY — where rates of poverty and preventable diseases like obesity and diabetes are extremely high. This environment inspired him to become a trainer and to continuously challenge himself to seek better answers on how to improve human performance.

Sam Gibbs currently serves as Director of sport medicine and sports science with the Canadian National Basketball Program, and previously served with the Canadian Olympic Committee.
