      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.

I was busy taking on new things (like another job at West Point), managing my growing company,... 

    Since I’ve left West Point, 90% of the people I train are trained by correspondence. In other words, we live in 2 separate places and they receive their workouts and other necessary information via email, phone, IM, or text. In fact, every one on the HPC Elite team was trained this way for most of last year. This isn’t new to me though. I’ve been training people like this for almost 7 years now. And while it isn’t... 

    One of the most frequently asked questions when I go and do consulting work or talk at clinics is “where are you located?” The answer isn’t real quick and easy. When people ask who don’t know us, they’re expecting us to have a shiny, new facility complete with tons of weight, rows of weight lifting platforms as far as the eye can see, and motion analysis equipment to track everything under the sun.
