Mike has over 35 years of experience identifying, recruiting, coaching and mentoring athletes in the sports of soccer, swimming, running and cross country, triathlon, road and track cycling.  During this time I have worked with athletes and their families including explaining the benefits of targeted personal training programs as it relates to long term development, identifying an athlete’s existing and future potential, ensuring that the athlete understands and embraces the level of commitment required to achieve projected goals, academic requirements in high school and college, and how to get noticed and identified by college coaches and scouts as a potential recruit. Included in these discussions has been the need to identify the educational needs of a student athlete in relation to the level of play (D1, D2, D3, NAIA) the athlete can realistically hope to compete at.
