INVENTOR OF CREATABOLIN C10

MIKE PRATT IS ONE OF GREAT BRITAIN'S TOP WEIGHTS AND STRENGTH COACHES. WITHIN ELITE ATHLETIC CIRCLES HE IS WIDELY REGARDED AS THE TRAINER AND ADVISOR TO THE STARS. MIKE HAS WORKED WITH AND ADVISED SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S TOP SPORTS STARS AND MEDIA PERSONALITIES INCLUDING SHARRON DAVIES M.B.E.(SWIMMING OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST, NOW ONE OF BRITIAN'S TOP TV PRESENTERS), COLIN JACKSON M.B.E. (WORLD CHAMPION AND WORLD RECORD HOLDER), DEREK REDMOND(WORLD CHAMPION AND PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER), JOHN REGIS M.B.E.(WORLD SILVER MEDALIST).

MIKE'S SPORTING CAREER BEGAN AS A SCHOOLBOY AND FROM A VERY EARLY AGE IT WAS APPARENT THAT MIKE WAS A GIFTED AND NATURAL ATHLETE. ENCOURAGED BY HIS PARENTS AND TEACHERS TO PURSUE HIS SPORTING CAREER MIKE WAS ACCEPTED BY WHAT WAS AT THE TIME ONE OF THE U.K.'S TOP HIGH SCHOOLS FOR SPORTS.

MIKE'S ABILITIES WERE IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED AND HE REPRESENTED HIS SCHOOL IN NO LESS THAN FIVE DIFFERENT SPORTS! IT WAS IN THE FIELDS OF SOCCER AND ATHLETICS(TRACK & FILED) THAT MIKE TRULY EXCELLED WITH A PROFESSIONAL CAREER IN EITHER DISCIPLINE BEING A REALISTIC OPTION. MIKE THEN DEDICATED HIMSELF TO SOCCER AND WAS INDEED RECOGNIZED AS A FUTURE PROFESSIONAL.

DISASTER STRUCK WITH MIKE SUSTAINING SERIOUS INJURIES TO BOTH LEGS. WITH HELP OF HIS FATHER, WHO HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN WEIGHT TRAINING FOR OVER TWENTY FIVE YEARS, MIKE THEN BEGAN A REHABILATION COURSE IN THE HOPE THAT HE MAY OVERCOME HIS INJURIES AND PURSUE HIS CAREER AS A SOCCER PLAYER. WITHIN A YEAR MIKE HAD REALIZED THERE WAS NO WAY BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL CAREER BUT THERE WAS A BONUS. AS A RESULT OF AL THE WEIGHT TRAINING HIS PHYSIQUE HAD BECOME SOMETHING OF A TALKING POINT. MIKE WAS THEN PERSUADED TO TRAIN AND ENTER THE WORLD OF COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDING. WITH ONLY A YEAR OF TRAINING MIKE ENTERED AND WON A NUMBER OF BODYBUILDING CONTESTS.

MIKE FOUND HIMSELF BLESSED WITH A NATURAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BODY'S ABILITY TO IMPROVE THROUGH VARIOUS TRAINING TECHNIQUES AND OF ITS REACTION TO NUTRITIONAL AND DIETARY STIMULI. HE CONTINUED TO TRAIN AND INCREASE HIS KNOWLEDGE CULMINATING IN A VICTORY AT NATIONAL LEVEL, A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT AFTER ONLY THREE YEARS TRAINING.

STILL ONLY TWENTY ONE YEARS OF AGE, MIKE DECIDED TO RETIRE FROM COMPETITION. HE THEN MOVED TO THE U.S.A. TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THE STRENGTH AND FITNESS INDUSTRY AND EXTEND HIS KNOWLEDGE OF NUTRITION. HIS REPUTATION SOON SPREAD AND HE WAS APPROACHED BY TOP ATHLETES IN THE U.S.A. AND U.K. FOR ADVICE ON TRAINING. MIKE WAS ALSO APPROACHED BY VARIOUS MODEL AGENTS IN THE U.S.A. AND WAS THEN MADE AWARE OF THE MARKETING POTENTIAL AFFORDED HIM BY HIS UNIQUE LOOKS.

ALTHOUGH SUCCESSFUL IN THE U.S.A. MIKE DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE U.K. IN ORDER TO PRODUCE HIS OWN NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT. WORKING ALONGSIDE DOCTORS AND BIOCHEMISTS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATABOLIN C10, A SUPPLEMENT WHICH HAS HAD A MASSIVE IMPACT ON THE WORLD OF SPORT. MIKE IS THE PROUD OWNER OF THE TRADEMARK AND PRODUCT CREATABOLIN C10, WHICH WAS INITIALLY DEVELOPED FOR USE BY THE BRITISH ATHLETES IN BARCELONA OLYMPICS.

MIKE HAS SUPPLIED HIS PRODUCT TO AND PERSONALLY ADVISED THE TOP BRITISH ATHLETES AND CLUBS IN ALL SPORTS FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS, INCLUDING LINFORD CHRISTIE(OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST), COLIN JACKSON (WORLD RECORD HOLDER), LEEDS UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB, WIGAN RUGBY LEAGUE, WORLD RUGBY CHAMPIONS. IT IS NOW ALSO USED BY SOME OF THE VERY BEST IN THE U.S.A. AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD INCLUDING CHINA.

THE COMBINATION OF HIS CONSIDERABLE KNOWLEDGE OF TRAINING AND NUTRITION, ALONG WITH HIS LIFELONG EXPERIENCE AS A GIFTED SPORTSPERSON HIMSELF, HAS LED TO MIKE BECOMING A RESPECTED FIGURE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF SPORT AND SOMETHING OF A PERSONALITY IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE INDUSTRY.

THE AWARENESS OF MIKE'S ABILITIES AT THE TOP LEVELS OF SPORT LED TO HIS APPOINTMENT AS STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH AT LEEDS UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB, ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND MOST FAMOUS SOCCER CLUBS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND EUROPE. THIS WAS A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY AS MR. MIKE HENNIGAN ( ASSISTANT HEAD COACH), AND MR. HOWARD WILKINSON ( HEAD COACH) WERE MEN OF VAST EXPERIENCE RENOWNED INTERNATIONALLY FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS IN SOCCER.

MIKE HENNIGAN WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH MIKE'S STRENGTH TRAINING TECHNIQUES AND UNDERSTANDING OF SOCCER THAT MIKE WAS GIVEN THE FREEDOM TO DEVISE THE WHOLE CLUB'S STRENGTH TRAINING STRUCTURE. THIS INVOLVED HIM PLANNING AND FITTING A BRAND NEW GYM FOR THE CLUB DESIGNED ENTIRELY AROUND MIKE'S OWN CONCEPTS AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. THE GYM WAS AND STILL IS USED BY EVERY PLAYER IN THE CLUB FROM THE FIRST TEAM DOWN TO YOUTH TEAMS.

MIKE TRAINED AND WORKED WITH MILLIONS OF POUNDS WORTH OF TALENT, INCLUDING SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN SOCCER( IAN RUSH, LEE SHARP, TONY YEBOHAH, GARY MCALISTER, GARY KELLY AND TONY DORIGO). MIKE WORKED AT THE CLUB TO TWO SEASONS (1995-1996) BEFORE LEAVING THE CLUB ALONG WITH MR. WILKINSON AND MR. HENNIGAN. HIS WORK WAS SO WELL RECEIVED THAT MIKE HAS BEEN NOMINATED TO THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION AS A LEADING BODY ON STRENGTH TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL(SOCCER TO AMERICANS). THIS ALONG WITH THE HIGHEST ENDORSEMENTS FROM MR. HENNIGAN (WHO STILL USES MIKE'S SERVICES TODAY) AND MR. WILKINSON (WHO IS NOW TECHNICAL DIRECTOR OF THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION) HAVE GIVEN EVEN GREATER CREDIBILITY TO MIKE'S SPORTING CREDENTIALS.

IN ADDITION TO HIS SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS MIKE HAS ALSO ENJOYED A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE WORLD OF MODELING. HIS LOOKS AND IMAGE HAVE BEEN NOTED BY MANY TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS AND AGENTS. MIKE, HOWEVER, PAID LITTLE ATTENTION TO THIS UNTIL HE WAS INTRODUCED TO TOP FASHION AND CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHER JOHN DIETRICH. THEY BEGAN WORKING TOGETHER AND JOHN NOW REGARDS MIKE AS HIS TOP MALE MODEL. JOHN BELIEVES THAT MIKE IS FAR MORE THAN JUST A MODEL AND THAT HIS LOOKS, IMAGE AND PERSONALITY COULD TAKE HIM TO THE TOP OF THE FILM INDUSTRY.

MIKE IS SPONSORED BY ADIDAS. HE IS A CONSULTANT TO ADIDAS TRAINING AND ACTS AS AN ADVISOR TO THE ADIDAS TRAINING PANEL THROUGH HIS MANAGEMENT COMPANY S.C.G.

COLIN JACKSON, WORLD CHAMPION AND WORLD RECORD HOLDER 110 HURDLES

"AS A WORLD CLASS ATHLETE, COMPETING AT SUCH A HIGH LEVEL, I HAVE TO BELEIVE AND TRUST IN THE PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH. MIKE'S ADVICE ON DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP TO ME AND I HOPE TO WORK AND BENEFIT FROM HIS KNOWLEDGE IN THE FUTURE."

MIKE HENNIGAN, ASSISTANT HEAD COACH

LEEDS UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB

"AS A TOP FOOTBALL COACH AT A CLUB AS BIG AS LEEDS UNITED I HAVE SEEN MANY COACHES AND TRAINING METHODS OVER THE YEARS REGARDING STRENGTH AND FITNESS. I HAVE NO HESITATION IN SAYING MIKE PRATT IS THE BEST STRENGTH TRAINER I HAVE COME ACROSS. HIS TRAINING TECHNIQUES COMBINED WITH HIS UNDERSTANDING OF FOOTBALL LEAD TO HIM ORGANIZING THE CLUBS STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAMME AND DESIGNING A BRAND NEW GYM, WHICH WAS A BIG INVESTMENT FOR THE CLUB.

MIKE IS A GREAT ASSET FOR ANY TOP CLUB SERIOUS ABOUT IMPROVING THEIR PHYSICAL ABILITY, WHICH IN TODAY'S GAME IS VITAL.

HIS TRAINING METHODS AND ADVICE IN MY OPINION ARE SECOND TO NONE FOR FOOTBALL, WHICH I HAVE SEEN PROVEN ON SOME OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE GAME.

I HAVE RECOMMENDED MIKE AS THE STRENGTH AND FITNESS ADVISOR TO THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. "

SHARRON DAVIES

OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST SWIMMING

TOP TV HOST IN BRITIAN

"MIKE PRATT INTRODUCED ME TO A DIFFERENT STYLE OF WEIGHT TRAINING THAT ENABLED ME TO INCREASE MY STRENGTH WITHOUT GAINING WEIGHT.

ONCE IN THE WATER, THIS SHOWED UP IN 2 AREAS. NOT ONLY WAS I PHYSICALLY STRONGER, BUT ALL OF MY SPRINT TIMES IMPROVED WITHOUT ANY APPARENT EXTRA EFFORT.

MIKE OPENED MY EYES TO LANDWORK IN SUCH A WAY THAT I FEEL THAT IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY ALL SWIMMERS TRAIN OUT OF WATER."

DEREK REDMOND

WORLD CHAMPION TRACK ATHLETE &

PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER

"AS AN ATHLETE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET THE MOST OUT OF MY GOD GIVEN TALENT, I WAS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR AREAS WHERE I COULD MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT AND 2 SUCH AREAS WERE STRENGTH AND NUTRITION.

MIKE PRATT TOTALLY CHANGED MY WAY OF THINKING WHEN IT CAME TO BOTH OF THESE AREAS. HIS EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE WERE SECOND TO NONE, NOT ONLY IN THE INFORMATION AND ADVICE GIVEN TO ME, BUT ALSO IN THE WAY IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME.

I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND WHY I WAS USING A PARTICULAR EXERCISE OR WHY I WAS EATING CERTAIN FOODS. UNDER MIKE'S GUIDANCE, MY PERFORMANCE INCREASED TO SUCH A LEVEL THAT EVEN I WAS SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS.

WHEN IT COMES TO STRENGTH TRAINING AND NUTRITION, YOU NEED NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER THAN MIKE PRATT BECAUSE THERE IS NO BETTER."
