We had the good fortune of connecting with Dominique Soucy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dominique, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
After finishing my own professional pro basketball career, I was looking for a better way to teach decision making in sport and to create a new way to play without getting contusion and get fun back into sports in our communities.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a former pro basketball player and physical therapist. After my career, I’ve decided to stop practicing physical therapy to focus on coaching basketball at my former high school. While working at my high school, I’ve dedicated my style to find a better way to teach basketball, reducing injuries, bringing more dynamic movement to every practice, developing a sense of collaboration in the game and creating at way to teach what I consider sport’s “it” factor: decision making. It’s with this mindset that I have invented PürInstinct.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I feel Miami starts with Wynwood. You have to get there, grab a coffee at Panther coffee and go eat at the Tacos Stands. Then go grab a piece of heaven with amazing ice cream at Morelia and finish by a cold beer at “The Oasis”.

Then and only then, you can up to Miami Beach and enjoy yourself!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My project is first a project of a father of 4 kids who loves sports and looks for a better way to moves and teach life lessons through sports.

As I was looking for a better way to do this, two books have really shape my mind and help me develop a new sport as well as a new sport’s philosophy: The inner game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey and the Talent Code by Daniel Coyle.
