Behind the Launch of LST
During Michael’s tenured time as a coach at FSP, a deeper desire to give back to the great city of Houston began to develop. A passion to take his knowledge and learned experience from his previous setting emerged and Michael developed a plan to give back to the surrounding communities who lack the resources to pay for quality coaches and training. Near the end of 2022 Legacy Sports Training was created in Houston, Texas with the mission to provide high-quality strength & conditioning to impact the next generation both physically and spiritually.
Michael has a passion for extracting the potential in each person he meets to see them become confident, capable, and ready to accomplish any challenge they may face on and off the field. Alongside his passion for sports and community, Michael loves recreational basketball, golf and pickleball, visiting coffee shops, reading thought-provoking books, and checking out new restaurants with his wife Brittany Donovan.
