From a young age Gavin played many sports and developed a great enthusiasm for health and fitness. He was particularly interested in tennis, a sport which saw him rise to a junior national ranking and a number one seed at his high school.

At a very young age Gavin recognized that there must be a way to prevent injuries happening in the first place. He watched professional athletes who had the best trainers and facilities continually getting injuries.

In grade school he learned that the brain and nervous system controlled everything in the body including all the muscles, joints and even the organs. He realized there must be some way to improve the nervous system and thought that this process was through better training methods.
