why a scissor kick to tareq's throat may not be advised
Mental resilience drives physical success. Regardless of our physical condition, our mentality and inner drive determines the meaning we derive from our labor and sacrifice. Tareq Azim has been described by many as an athlete whisperer. For years, his work across a variety of professional sports has sought to revitalize a consciousness of our shared humanity. What binds us all together? Death. Overcoming the fear of our mortality unlocks a newfound potential, urgency, and willingness to connect physical activity with values that give life meaning and purpose. Despite our different paths, the common struggle to find this internal certainty in light of personal circumstance binds us together. What lies at the end of this transformative process is freedom, growth and expansion.
Tareq’s method for human optimization has led to 7 MMA World Championship bouts in 12 years of coaching. This is a rare statistical achievement given the difficulty of reaching the elite levels of mixed martial arts, and replicating that success across different platforms for over a decade. As his fighters will confess, it wasn’t only the skill that catapulted them to success, but their ability to traverse the internal obstacles of mental and emotional deficiency. In the NFL, Tareq was one of the only optimization coaches to successfully treat substance abuse, alcoholism, suicidal tendencies, depression, and anxiety - all of which are pervasive in NFL locker rooms and require special attention and study. Within a year of implementing carefully designed psychological and physical training methods, Tareq revitalized and bolstered the careers and performance levels of numerous NFL athletes. Winning internal battles is integral to our victory on the field and in the ring. It's time we take notice.

SAuthor. Entrepreneur. Activist. Athlete. Trainer. Coach. Tareq Azim serves others in many different ways that no single term fully captures the breadth and depth of his work. His mission is best described by others as “serving individuals and communities by providing a pathway to self-optimization and personal fulfillment.” Tareq came to the United States with his family when he was a child, as a refugee fleeing Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. This experience hardened his determination to bring positive change to the world, and dedicate his life to breaking boundaries.
Tareq codified his approach to mental health and personal optimization in his ‘Empower Concept’ where he worked with numerous clients across a variety of sports, including American football, baseball, mixed martial arts, cycling, and rugby. His concept championed the power of embracing discomfort to create mental resilience, build character, and enable self-maximization. His clients have credited him with not only bolstering and reviving their professional careers, but changing their perspective on the meaning of purpose, self-growth, and accountability.
But Tareq’s approach to team building is not limited to prominent figures in the sports and business world – it’s even inspired an entire nation. He’s undertaken many projects to create a better life for those in his home country of Afghanistan. He created the Afghan Women’s Boxing Federation, taking a male-dominated sport and making it available to disenfranchised women and impoverished segments of society. In the end, Tareq Azim’s world-renowned results have been featured in outlets such as ESPN The Magazine, while his individual client achievements have been highlighted by the likes of USA Today and Sports Illustrated, where he was the subject of a documentary on Amazon. Tareq’s book, EMPOWER- Conquering the Disease of Fear, documents the many personal tribulations he's battled over the years, and brings proof of concept to readers across the globe on how to face your truth despite what hardships life may throw at you.
