Explore what this could look like for your coachingBetter Recovery. Better Training. More Success.
Two years after winning two Olympic gold medals, I had a hard time getting back on the podium and lost my spot on the A national team. During that time, illness repeatedly interrupted my ability to train consistently and at the quality required for podium performance.
I realized recovery had to become part of my training plan.
This made me healthier, stronger, and able to train with greater consistency and quality – creating the conditions that allowed performance to improve again.

Supporting the Systems Behind Training Adaptation
Training structure, volume, and consistency are one aspect of strong performance. How well athletes' systems work, recover, and adapt affects the quality of sessions.
We support the recovery and brain–body systems that influence how athletes:
- absorb training load
- recover between sessions
- regulate stress
- maintain training quality
- adapt consistently over time
Using practical recovery and performance-support strategies, we help athletes create conditions that better support adaptation and sustainable performance.

- Training quality becomes inconsistent
- Athletes struggle to tolerate expected load
- Small stressors create disproportionate setbacks
- Coordination, energy, or execution fluctuate unexpectedly
Why ThriveNinety
ThriveNinety is led by Andrea Henkel Burke – multi-Olympic medalist and eight-time World Champion – and Katie Brennan, a leader in evidence-based healthcare innovation and population health.
Their combined experience spans elite sport, complex health systems, and behavior change – translating science into practical methods that improve readiness, recovery, and execution.
Training is one part of performance.
The ability to consistently recover and train well depends on healthy, coordinated brain-body systems that support readiness, resilience, and adaptation. Results are shaped not only by training itself, but by how effectively athletes recover, coordinate, and adapt between sessions.
Supporting the nervous system and brain-body function helps your athletes show up more consistently, train at a higher level, and translate effort into results.
We are here to explore what this could look like for you or your team.

The same principle applies to training.
Talent and training matter – but they only translate into results when the body’s systems are working well.
Through the way athletes move, recover, breathe, eat, and pace effort, they can actively shape how their nervous system, immune system, and brain-body connections function – strengthening this foundation allows athletes to move efficiently and discover their full potential.
