About Mike

I am an athlete with a passion for running, Obstacle Course Racing (OCR), and martial arts. My journey in athletics is fueled by a love for pushing my limits and embracing new challenges. In running, I thrive on the thrill of the race and the pursuit of personal bests. OCR allows me to combine endurance, strength, and agility, tackling tough terrains and obstacles with determination. My practice in martial arts instills discipline, mental fortitude, and a strategic mindset, enhancing my overall performance. Through these diverse pursuits, I aim to continuously learn and improve as a coach.

Coaching Philosophy

Consistency is the foundation of success. By encouraging daily discipline, a resilient mindset, and ongoing growth we create a pathway to excellence. My mission is to develop athletes who embrace these values, achieving lasting success both in and out of sport.
