Meet Coach Mike Golden

When I had the idea to bring a unified approach to sports aptitude and sport domination, my first thought was that I needed a coach. It couldn't be just any coach. It had to be someone that had experienced first hand youth and high school sports. They had to have the talent to win championships and develop players... and the compassion and empathy to understand it isn't just about winning. It's about helping athletes be the best they can be in the sport that they had the best chance to dominate and enjoy. Mike was my first choice to partner with and I was both honored and humbled that Mike said yes!
