Why MeDirected?
      About Me
      I'm Mike, the owner of an athletic development company called HPC. I recently quit my financially secure day job to 1) finish my PhD and 2) take my business full time. It's a risky venture and a major redirection (hence the blog name) in my life. I love food, hate sleep, and want to be my own boss. I have mild OCD and ADD but I will always post, so please come back if you are interested in following this venture and maybe picking up some random bits along the way.

    It took forever to come up with an appropriate domain name for my blog. I kept thinking of things that would be kinda creative, relative to the content, and available. I actually knew I wanted to start the blog but didn’t even bother until I had a good domain name and made a template that I liked. Well, I’ve finally done both an although the template and layout still needs some tweaking I’m 95% done with it.

    I ended up choosing the domain name because I thought it kinda represented what I was going to do and where I was going to focus the blog. A redirection is a change in course. Well, that’s kinda what I’ve done. I’ve made the decision to not only leave a steady, well-paying job but to move, and follow a different career path. Medirected was an appropriate title because now I felt I was the one in charge of the direction of my life (rather than working for an AD, a head coach, a superintendent, etc). My decision was a long time coming but I think it’s for the best. In future blogs I’ll go over some of the many factors that went in to my decision to medirect.
