In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to Performance Consultant and Owner of Athletic Lab, Mike Young. Mike first came on the podcast in episode 3 so this part 2 has been a long time coming. Mike is a world renowned strength and conditioning coach with a background in track and field. As we discuss, Mike has many strings to his bow with international speaking engagements, Director of Proformance, coaching consultancy and of course, being the owner of an amazing facility in North Carolina, Athletic Lab.
