Apolo Ohno - The Making of a Team

Having seen the level of competition you get at the Winter Olympics one would imagine that a winner like Apolo Ohno is something of a solo player. The eight time medalist that was at one point the youngest to succeed in short track racing competitions has in fact shown inclinations to the opposite despite his background in highly competitive sports. His training during preparation for the Olympics taught him a valuable lesson that he prides more than the medals he has received for his efforts – that real success has to have support from around you. With this in mind Apolo Ohno has turned to the people that allowed him to succeed and created a new venture, Allysian Sciences.

It is important to remember that Apolo Ohno could not have made it without the help of several important figures and mentors in his life. The trainer who gave him the advice he needed to get the right body for skating is often on his list of thank yous, as is his father that encouraged him to enter sports and compete from an early age. Through his life he has had support to push him onwards to success and now Apolo Ohno is taking this message practically to form his own teams and support others in turn. This is where Allysian Sciences finally comes into focus.

Allysian Sciences is dedicated to creating the best and most efficient nutraceutical supplements out there, and to do so required more than just a single vision. Apolo Ohno stepped in to make sure that the company had a strong network of team players who are all professionals in their own fields. The scientists, analysts and researchers that he helped to hire are now part of a world class team that have created some of the best selling supplements in the industry. By doing this Apolo Ohno has made sure that Allysian covers all its bases through the simple message of cooperation and professionality. Looking at the facts it seems that building a team comes from building your own successes, and that the link between personal achievement and the rest of the world’s is closer than we might think.
