The Quiet Professional Collection of Essays

 

MTI has always been about more than just fitness. While fitness is the focus and bulk of our work, it’s been our essays and thoughts about the concept of Quiet Professionalism and bigger life issues which have garnered the most feedback from our athlete and community. We’ve been asked several times to put together in one place the full collection. We’ve finally put those together below.

Your thoughts and feedback is appreciated.

Respectfully,

– Rob Shaul, MTI
