ACHiEvEr A want-to-be-pro. Provides a sense of controlling accomplishments.
UrBAn ATHLETE Seeks outdoor sports to escape hectic urban lives, a stress reliever.
OUTDOOr nATivE Loves to be surrounded by nature. Motivated by enjoyment of experiences.
ASPirATiOnAL COrE Looking to learn and master new, challenging activities.
Sport does not only
have a positive impact
upon the physiology of
a participant, but upon
the psychology of that
person also. Transferring
the learning to the
outdoor environment and
detaching it from the real
world these concerns are
left behind.
