Who We Are – Some Philosophy

At Enhance Sports, we are not ex-Olympians or former professional athletes (okay, some of us got real close). What we are is a community of top amateur athletes, who also happen to be working professionals. Through hard work and collaboration, we have achieved that fine balance between work, family, and athletics. We have an undying love for competition (some might call it an obsession) and realize that in order to effectively balance all three, training must become part of one's everyday lifestyle.

Which of the following quotes best describes your approach to training?

"Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win."
 - Tom Fleming's Boston Marathon training sign on his wall

"Workouts are like brushing my teeth; I don't think about them, I just do them. The decision has already been made."
 - Patti Sue Plumer, U.S. Olympian

"If you feel like eating, eat. Let your body tell you what it wants."
 - Joan Benoit Samuelson

We hope your own philosophy fits somewhere in between the second and third quote. I spent much of my own youth living by the adage that "somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not and when you race him, he will win". Perhaps with age comes wisdom, as I now understand the importance of rest in any training regimen.

Who is Enhance Sports?

Mikael Hanson - President and Founder


While growing up in Wisconsin, Mikael was a nationally ranked cyclist and top regional cross-country skier, but his move East has seen him graduate into other endurance sports. Mikael is a certified Level 1 USA Triathlon coach, a Level 2 USA Cycling coach, a Serrota certified bike fitter, a Suunto sports ambassador, a member of PowerBar Team Elite, and a Schwinn indoor cycling instructor.
The ultimate multi-sport junkie, Mikael competes in numerous cross-country ski races, bike races, running events, and duathlons/triathlons during the year. His longevity in endurance sports comes from the fact that he has instilled training into his daily routine along with work, coaching, and family. 

Mikael works with athletes of all ages and abilities - from first timers to several nationally ranked athletes to even a couple World Champions! Mikael represented Team USA at the 2007 and 2009 Duathlon World Championships! He was the 2002 and 2004 multi-sport athlete of the year for the New York Flyers (NYC's largest running club).
