Favorite WOD: Grace
Least favorite exercise/WOD: anything with overhead squats and/or burpees (Mike hates burpees!)
Olde Mike (‘cause he is!) has been a classroom teacher, high school boys’ and girls’ soccer coach and boys’ and girls’ club soccer coach, as well as a senior soccer referee for the state of Kansas since his retirement after a career in the military.
Mike got interested in fitness training as a high school coach; he was charged with designing the fitness training for the boys and girls during preseason conditioning as well as strength and conditioning during the season.
A long time soccer referee at the high school through college level, Mike got interested in CrossFit while looking for a program to better maintain his fitness between and during soccer seasons. CrossFit quickly became his fitness “sport” when he stepped back from refereeing: he now devotes his time to being a better crossfitter.
Mike trains the 0900 “moms’” class at Harney Gym on Wednesdays, and the evening sessions at the Leavenworth Community Center at 5:30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. You can also find him working out on most Saturdays after CrossFit Kids at the Leavenworth Community Center.
