His post-graduate studies include a certificate from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, for cultural studies. Then, as a former baseball player and coach, Alan has been able to merge the "mechanics" of the Western Athlete with the "insight" of the Eastern mind - a combination of resources that has put him at the forefront of Sports Philosophy.
