Mike Gillette is a Speaker, Best-Selling Author, and Peak-Performance Coach with a life story that reads like an action-adventure novel. A life which includes time spent as an Army Paratrooper, SWAT Commander, Government Counter-Terrorism Expert, Bodyguard to Fortune 100 Executives and a Record-Breaking Strongman whose feats have been documented by Guinness World Records and Ripley’s Believe it or Not.

As both a practitioner and purveyor, he is a pioneer in the field of mind and body development. Through workshops and one-on-one coaching, Mike Gillette teaches proprietary methods for break-through improvements in mental performance. And thanks to his books and DVDs, Mike’s methods are used in nearly 50 countries worldwide.

Coach Moreau specifically sought Mike’s services in the development of Strength U because, as he says:

 

“As a Head Coach at the Division I level I was exposed to, contacted by and routinely fielded requests from sports psychologists to work with our athletes. After carefully evaluating their material I was always left with the same question, how do I, or my athletes, apply this theory in a practical manner? The first time I heard Mike speak and present his proven strategies to PRACTICALLY APPLY the theory I had heard before I was floored!

 

Perhaps more importantly, he is not merely an academic who has never “walked the walk”. Mike’s background, training, and record-setting accomplishments provide credibility and command instant respect. Quite simply I would have loved to have had Mike work with each and every athlete I have ever trained, period.

 

The addition of Mike Gillette’s Mental Performance Training provides an invaluable tool to ANY athlete and I am thrilled to have him as part of the Performance Team at Strength U!”
