It is with great regret yet much excitement that I announce my resignation from Harvard-Westlake School effective at the end of the month. I spent 8 incredible years as the strength & conditioning coach for this amazing school. Within those 8 years I was a part of 9 different league, CIF, and National Championship teams. I published a book on adolescent strength & conditioning, spoke at the NSCA National Conference, and created one of the best middle school strength & conditioning programs in the nation. However, what I’m most proud of are the relationship I forged with the HW coaches, staff, and athletes. Some of these relationships will last a lifetime and I’m forever thankful for this. Although my decision is bitter-sweet it was time to make a choice. With the success of Precision, my website Tromello Programming, and new company Plaid Cow Society something had to give. Time is my most precious commodity. I did not feel it was fare to HW, my family, or my other endeavors to split myself among them anymore and knew for my own happiness I needed to drop something. I grew up in a household where both my parents had their own businesses. My parents were always around; taking my brother and I to practices, going to all our school functions, and never missing a game even when we played overseas. So naturally I wanted to be able to do the same thing as a parent and with my kids getting older the time began to creep near.
I am so very excited to jump full time into the running of my businesses and make myself more available to all my athletes, and most importantly… to my family. I will now have time to program for more people including gyms that are interested and take on private clients again. This is something I missed doing but did not have the time to do. In addition, I can’t wait to head into Precision more in the mornings to work with a morning crew that I rarely get to see. There are so many things that I have planned for the gym and I can’t wait to share them with you all!
If your interested in programming or setting up private sessions with me please don’t hesitate to contact me at mike@precisioncrossfit.net or call me at (805) 660 – 4101.
