My name is Marcos Papakostas, and I created Applying Functional Anatomy, a sports performance company, to bring my passion for fitness and athletic performance to individuals on a personal level.
My passion began for fitness when I was 13 years old. I saw a bodybuilding magazine in the lobby of a doctor's office and told myself I wanted to look just like those models. Since that day, I made an effort to go to the gym almost every day to accomplish my fitness goals. For over 13 years, I learned what worked, what didn't work, and quickly made the switch to powerlifting over bodybuilding. Over time, I have progressed into athletic workouts and Olympic lifts to further my athletic performance in soccer.
I went to college to study Mechanical Engineering and ended up switching majors to Exercise Science: Sports Performance. After a while, I began researching how to implement speed training and speed workouts for my athletes. I quickly realized my true purpose in life is to bring the resources and knowledge that I have gained over the years to others and impacting the lives of athletes through training.
