Opening Thoughts

The purpose of this e-letter is two-fold. First I would like to share information on training/racing techniques that I have developed in my fifteen years of racing/coaching. If you think there is something valuable in here that others could use, please pass it on. If there is something that you would like to see in here,send me an email. I have developed a large network of great resources and I if I don’t have the answer, I will know someone who does.  Secondly, this e-letter will be my personal space to brag about the athletes I coach and give them the praise they deserve—after all—it’s the athlete that does the hard work.  

Train Smart, Coach Mike

out how far one can go.” - T.S. Eliot
