Athlete (as defined by ALTIS Performance Evolution): ath●lete, ath●leet
Noun – from Latin via Greek athlētēs, from athlein to compete for a prize and athlos a contest
ALTIS PERFORMANCE EVOLUTION LIMITED was conceptualized in 2014 and officially founded by company directors Shayne Cooper (MSc) and Nneka Joseph (PhD), in March 2015. Fuelled by a passion for sports and athlete development Altis was designed to revolutionize the sports environment in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean region.
The name ALTIS Performance Evolution was chosen as it encompasses our company’s philosophy of guiding athletes to evolve; MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY.
ALTIS was the Greek Sanctuary of the Gods where athletes would pay homage prior to competing in Olympic events on Olympus. It also served as the administrative centre during the traditional games. This dual purpose of ALTIS is what our company seeks to represent - an organised system for athletes to grow and develop holistically resulting in competition at the highest level.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Altis team for many years. I’ve know Shayne for over two decades and he has had a significant input in my athletic career as an Olympic medalist. Given his background as an athlete, I’ve always valued his opinion and sort advice on and off the track.
