Powerful Combination
Mike has the rare combination of understanding the
needs of athletes, the subtitles of complex injury and
the multitude of domains, that must be transformed in
order for peak performance to emerge. He is the
powerful combination of a trainer, a healer and a guide
all in one. - Bob Caron Aikido Instructor &
Leadership Consultant
More Than Just Training
My name is Arantxa King. I was 16 years old and a
junior in High School when I started with Mike. I am
the 2005 National Champion and World Youth Champion in the long jump (personal best 20’11.75). I competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics as a member of the Bermuda Track and Field Olympic team.
I met with Mike two days a week and depending on my
physical wellness, training, and competitive goals, we
went through several different strength-training cycles
over the course of the year. Working with Mike is not
just about reaching your physical potential, but also
about understanding the body and how every aspect of
training, between plyometrics, stretching, lifting, and
running are all equally dependent on one another.
Since I have been working with Mike, I have noticed how my physical strength has developed, especially in the areas which are key for horizontal jumping, thus making everything from my long jump approach to the take off more consistent and dynamic. Mike encourages me to work to my potential, while maintaining a personal and friendly atmosphere. Working with Mike, I always leave feeling that I trained hard, challenged myself, and am one-step closer to my physical and competitive aspirations.
