I educate clients by a science known as Biomimetics. As an already proven world record holding training philosophy to follow, the majority of my students are our military elite. When you claim ability to teach any athlete how to run 20% faster in an hour, few recreational athletes will take such result possibilities seriously. 

When you can teach a Soldier how to carry 135lbs of equipment and record a heart rate at 7% treadmill incline to be lower than walking naturally at 0% incline, one's military credibility is without question. With teaching athletes how to execute a 90-degree directional change cutting maneuver with no measurable torque load to the knee at all, if you can't do the same, then welcome to my world. 

I'm not the only one in my field of study, merely the first of them to create an athletic development program in a very radical field of sports medicine. Training biomimetically is founded in idea of seeking to improve both physical and cognitive abilities. How video games play a role in that process is why my education begins where most leave off.

I don't study athletes with fingers crossed injuries don't happen. I study sports injuries knowing if I can protect clients from incurring them, improved performance is a natural byproduct.

With a resume including research sponsorship by Nike and formal testing through the Office of Naval Research in Coronado, CA. my training domain isn't teaching anyone how to lift weights. I teach how to manage and carry it. If you seek to improve in athletic skill, biomimetics is based upon reducing musculoskeletal injury risk through improving one's balance skills to increase running speed, economy, acceleration, physical agility, or load bearing ability. 

Lifting weights isn't needed.

Founded upon the movement skills utilized by the best athletes determined by science, and not corporate marketing departments, is why my private clients include professional sports team head coaches as well as director of training for all US Navy SEALs.

The question I ask of any athletic trainer is "What can you teach me that I can't learn from anyone else?"

If you're tired of doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, then I'm confident training biomimetically will radically impact and improve your athletic abilities. Because everything I teach is different from anyone else....

It was February of 1974 when a completely unknown young gymnast, Kirk Mango, made a choice that would change the direction of his life and send him on an intense journey of self-discovery and accomplishment. His efforts would culminate in a State Championship, a high school All-American award and a full scholarship to compete in gymnastics at the NCAA Division I level for Northern Illinois University. What was most surprising and unbelievable about this was not only the achievement itself, but the fact that he did it in just one year-something nobody thought possible. For Kirk, it was the starting point of a career that has brought him numerous other awards and honors, first as an athlete, then as a coach and teacher.

In 2000, he was selected to the Northern Illinois Athletic Hall of Fame; there, his photograph hangs on the wall with some of the most prestigious athletes ever to attend and compete for Northern Illinois University. His most recent accolades include being chosen in 2009 as No. 8 of the Top 50 Athletes of All Time competing for NIU, induction into Willowbrook High School’s Inaugural Hall of Fame (with professional athlete greats, former Chicago Bears Tom Hicks, Cleveland Browns Matt Roth, former Philadelphia Phillies World Series pitcher Dan Schatzeder, and Milwaukee Brewers Jody Gerut), and induction into Northern Illinois Athletic Hall of Fame for a second time in October of 2010.

Kirk graduated NIU in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science in education and in 1992 received his Master of Administration from Roosevelt University in Chicago. Now retired, he taught high school students for 34 years and coached student-athletes for 17 of those years.
