Hello, my name is Mickey Brueckner (MTB) and welcome to my podcast: "The MTB Performance Project." I am the founder and CEO of the ANNEX Sports Performance Center. I have almost 20 years of experience training athletes of all levels, running a business and building a brand. I am a husband, a father to three children, and I still train hard on a regular basis. The main goal of this endeavor is to uncover different aspects of human performance. I believe there are many layers to this pursuit: health, fitness, nutrition, mental, social - the list goes on. However, no matter what you are chasing, the principles across many of these disciplines are universal. Through interviewing people who I consider experts in there field, along with past and current ANNEX athletes, we can dive deeper into these disciplines and unpack different levels of performance. I named it the Performance "Project" because for me, this is a lifelong initiative to be in constant pursuit of ways to improve my overall health and performance. Thank you for listening.
