Dr. Brandon Marcello has nearly 20 years experience in the performance enhancement industry.
As a high-performance strategist, he takes forward-thinking organizations and elite athletes to the next level of their game – and careers. Having extensive involvement in both the applied and research worlds, he has implemented successful, high performance training programs for professional, Olympic and collegiate athletes.
Continuing his work with the U.S. Department of Defense and Draper Labs, Brandon has recently been tasked with defining the future of soldier performance.
In this show, Brandon and I talk about his long and winding journey in the world of physical prep, what he means when he calls himself technique certain and tactic agnostic, and what his day-to-day job looks like as a performance consultant.
This is a really entertaining show, and one I think you’ll love.
