Lucky number 13.........or is it unlucky? Well, we make our own luck here at MHPC! For my first episode back after about a month hiatus, I have good friend and all-around intelligent guy, Pat Cormier. Pat is a friend of mine from back in our undergrad days, where we spent a lot of time helping each other through our degree while also balancing course work and our busy athletic schedules. Pat went on to complete a Masters abroad, working in Spain and Finland. Pat is now back on the east coast coaching soccer, training athletes, and raising the bar for quality sport science based coaching.
