➜ Renowned strength and conditioning coach Mike Gough, 36, who has trained five NFL first-round draft picks and such professional sports teams as the Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Indians, is bringing his Athletic Edge Sports to the state-of-the-art Premier Sports campus on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch. Gough says the move will bring his nine-year-old company “to the next level nationally and internationally,” offering year-round coaching that serves soccer, baseball, football, rugby, rowing and lacrosse. “It’s a perfect fit to allow local, national and international athletes the best [coaching],” he explains. “Athletic Edge Sports and Premier Sports Campus can grow together, making Lakewood Ranch the sports destination on the Gulf Coast.” –Forest Balderson

 

➜ Bill Sadlo, 42, has stepped into the role it seems he’s been preparing for most of his life: president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County. A Sarasota resident since age six, Sadlo joined the Boys & Girls Clubs as an elementary schoolboy in 1977. He became a counselor 10 years later; then, after receiving an education degree from USF, moved up professionally in the organization from program director to unit director, executive vice president, and finally to COO. Sadlo succeeds longtime president J. Mack Reid, a 44-year veteran of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. With four full-service clubs and six school sites from North Port to Newtown, Sadlo serves 5,000 youngsters ages six-18. “Our priority overall is to give the kids who need us the most a first-class club experience,” he says.
