Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Pinkey.

Michael, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was born in Johnson City, NY and my father got me into golf at a very young age. This sparked a love that has carried through to present day. I drove across country with a uHaul and went to ASU for the PGA Golf Course Management program. After leaving the program, I took an internship at IMG Academies in Bradenton, FL which lead to a job offer as a golf coach/instructor. I created an opportunity for myself and sought out a job with a technology company called Trackman. This job took me all over the country; spending 38+ weeks on the road on the PGA and LPGA Tours and meeting some of the very best the golf industry had to offer. I then decided to take on the biggest challenge of my life five years ago and started my own business called Combine Golf. During this time, I was contracted as the Director of Golf Performance at EXOS (formally Athletes Performance Institute).

When I decided to exit EXOS, I expanded my business and transformed into Combine Performance with partner Travis Weza; expanding beyond just golf and take on any sport and corporate wellness. Current day we offer golf instruction/coaching, club fitting and custom building, fitness, phycology, massage therapy, biomechanics, corporate wellness programs and just recently launched out very own nutrition line of products. We also host a podcast on site at the Combine Performance HQ and have over 100+ episodes. Our vision at Combine Performance is to provide a 360 degree approach to human performance whether you are an elite athlete or just the everyday person trying to be the best version of yourself. We focus on your long term health and performance not just the quick fixes.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Running your own business is anything but a smooth road. This is actually why I started the podcast for the company. I wanted to share with our community and followers all the peaks and valleys of owning your business. The hardest thing everyday is knowing that everything you do, the decisions you make, the choices, the investment, the hiring, the firing, all the good that comes, all the bad that comes is ultimately on my shoulders and the blame lies on me alone. Personally finding quality employees is proven to be the most challenging.

You have to have a short memory for struggles and embrace the mini successes. I will say that if you have the temperament for owning your own business, it’s the most rewarding thing in the world.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Combine Performance – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Combine Performance is a total 360 degree human performance company that provides a multitude of services to help our customers (CP Fam) achieve their fullest potentials in anything they do.

We offer golf coaching/instruction, golf club fitting and custom building, fitness, phycology (mindset), massage therapy, and data collection for biomechanics of any sport.

Combine Performance is one of the most technologically advanced performance centers around. We can 3D motion capture tech, radar tech, EEG brain wave tech, pressure/force tech and much more!

Combine Performance has a podcast we host right here in HQ. We have uploaded more than 100+ episodes on iTunes, SoundCloud, Spotify.

Combine Performance also just launched own very own nutrition line of products starting with two whey isolate protein powders.

There isn’t another business doing/offering all that we do.

I am most proud of us holding our ground and doing things people told us wasn’t a good idea or even stupid. We are growing with no end in sight.

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
The future is in our nutrition line of products. We intend on providing, science backed, morally created supplements for the public and re-educate the importance of supplementing and, most importantly, the correct amount (dosages) for each individual.

The nutrition line completes our 360 approach and closes the loop of total performance.
