Being in the “zone” is often described as a mystical experience. It arrives with a tremendous sense of freedom that usually happens by chance that allows someone to perform at a very high level. It is what Buddy Biancalana experienced in the 1985 World Series for the Kansas City Royals.

He now teaches athletes, musicians, and salespeople how to get in the “zone” by working at the intersection of intention and execution or, thought and action.

An audience of Buddy’s will not only become more inspired, however more importantly gain insight and tools backed by science to enhance all areas of life.

Buddy Biancalana was a first round draft pick and became somewhat of a household name thanks to his stellar play in the 1985 World Series, for the World Champion Kansas City Royals. In that Series, he played the best baseball of his career as he outplayed his counterpart, Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith. His recognition heightened from appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and the Today Show. Buddy enjoyed the glory of a great athletic performance, however, was never able to repeat his stellar play and was out of the Major Leagues just a year and a half later and completely out of professional baseball following the 1989 season, due to a reoccurring back injury. The challenges of a post athletic career were quickly mounting. Through this time and many years to follow, he couldn’t help but reflect on his “zone experience” in the Series and the tremendous freedom and subsequent success he had on the field during the most important seven games of his career.

He has consulted with the Chicago Bulls, Portland Trailblazers, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, University of Arizona, Kansas University, University of Michigan, Princeton University, Virginia Commonwealth University and Trinity College. He has trained athletes in 13 professional and over 20 amateur sports. He has been a guest speaker at The Sports, Energy & Consciousness Festival, the Mindfulness Leadership Summit, the Society for Information Management, The Taft School and the Kansas Sports Officials Association.

Six research projects and studies have combined to demonstrate that his Zone Motion training expedites development, increases performance and minimizes soft tissue injuries. His work is endorsed by prominent doctors and professional athletes.

Buddy is the co-author of The 7 Secrets of World Class Athletes and author of the soon to be released, Art of the Zone. His training benefits athletes and salespeople in many areas of life and provides an overall sense of well-being.
