Mickey Brueckner, When Life Throws You a Curveball
In Episode 15 Kevin interviews Mickey Brueckner who is the founder and CEO of Annex Sports Performance. Mickey was once a projected 5th round pick in the 2003 MLB draft until he suffered a season ending elbow injury, which required two Tommy-John surgeries. Mickey talks about the symptoms he had leading up to his elbow injury as well as his experiences through recovery.
Mickey always had a love for training so he naturally gravitated toward kinesiology as a college major. With his knowledge and experience as an elite level athlete, it was an easy transition for him to become a sports performance coach. Mickey and his team train some of the most elite athletes in New Jersey, including Boston Red Sox pitcher, Rick Porcello.
