…than to be in Carolina. I just returned from teaching at another USATF coaching education school. This one was in Brooklyn, NY. NY is the state where I was born and I’ve spent about 2/3rds of my life there in several cities around the state. Having recently moved to the Triangle region of NC (via(…)

Old Acquaintances
2 weeks ago I was able to meet up with 2 of my former athletes from West Point as they drove from Georgia to DC. Not too long before that a different set of athletes from West Point came up to visit us and get in a workout at Athletic Lab. Before that I met(…)

Since I don’t have a ‘formal job’ to go to on a daily basis and I spend my days managing products orders, writing articles & blogs, consulting, and providing training services….I’m getting impatient to move in to the next phase(…)
Update on my move
