Listen Later

Today I had the privilege to sit down with Mike and talk about many things. I was curious what it was like back in 1999 when ESPN followed him and his teammates around at practice and in school for an entire season. If you are an old school, die hard high school football fan like myself, you may remember when two of the top 2 teams in the state and country squared off in the final game of the season. One was coached by legendary Mike Pettine (CB West) and the other was coached by Mike Pettine Jr. (North Penn). A great piece of PA HS football history that Mike was a very big part of and also aired on National TV.


Mike left teaching and coaching a few years back and has an entirely new outlook on life. He is proud of the past and excited for the new days ahead of living a quasi-Amish style life in Bucks County. Not exactly Amish, but he does spend a lot of time in bare feet gardening and being an amazing father to his children.


During this 2 hour chat Mike shares some life lessons learned from the late, great, Mike Pettine and of course his son, "JR." We also jump into a new style of preparing/strengthening our bodies for the long life ahead. We both have Tommy John iii to thank for that. Listen in and share if you like it!!!!
