  • I ask Mike why did he go into the private coaching sector vs the professional or collegiate coaching route?
  • I ask Mike about his training philosophy
  • I ask Mike for his thoughts on aerobic development
  • I ask Mike - what are the good and not so good things that he currently see's with the physical preparation and sport science professions, and what solutions would he offer for the not so good things he is seeing
  • I ask Mike - what have been the biggest lessons he has learned so far in his life
  • I ask Mike if he only had 1 year left on Planet Earth - how would he spend that year and why?
