Mike Hedlesky's Writing Portfolio & Blog
Howdy! With almost 20 years of freelance and academic writing experience under my belt, this website will act as a conduit for some of my published work. My areas of expertise include fitness, physiology, strength and conditioning, breaking down complex peer reviewed studies into more digestible and practically applicable parts, and long term athlete development. Also, feel free to check out my blog for a hodgepodge of book reviews, scientific research interpretations, poems that I wrote after too many Manhattans, and whatever else I feel like putting into words.
