Plan A

I'm Mike, the owner of an athletic development company called HPC and its sport performance training and research center - Athletic Lab. 6 years ago I quit my financially secure day job to 1) finish my PhD and 2) take my business full time. Both worked out great and they were a major redirection (hence the blog name) in my life. I later went 'on loan' from my business to take a position as the Fitness Coach with the Vancouver Whitecaps of the MLS while still managing my business from afar. I love food and fitness, don't sleep much, and like to win at everything I do. 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 tend to blog about business, travel and goal setting here. If you're looking for more training related info, check out one of my other sites (see blog roll).
