Built by people who do the work.

David Simoneaux is the head football coach at Central High School in Baton Rouge and the athletic director for the Central Community School System, a role that covers every sport in the district. He has been a head coach since 2015: six seasons at Catholic of Pointe Coupee, then two at Catholic High School of Baton Rouge, where his teams went 24-3 and won the 2021 Division I Select state championship. He returned to Central, where he coached from 2010 to 2015, in December 2022.

He is the co-author of Hero Makers (American Real Publishing) and co-creator of the Heroes Mindset coaching curriculum. MHP began as the player development system he ran inside his own program. Central was its first pilot and is still the program it is measured against.

Douglas A. Tucker, M.D., is a double board-certified interventional pain physician and the lead regenerative physician and spine and pain specialist at the Global Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (GARM), with a focus on advanced, less invasive regenerative therapies for the lumbar spine and neck. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology in both Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine.

He earned a B.S. in Biological Engineering at Louisiana State University and his M.D. at the LSU Health Sciences Center, then completed his anesthesiology residency and pain medicine fellowship at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he went on to serve as an assistant professor. He also holds an MBA from the University of Mississippi School of Business. He trained for three years under GARM's founder, Glenn C. Terry, M.D., leads clinical research at GARM's clinic in Roatán and is helping lead the alliance's expansion to GARM Bahamas. He has published in the Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, and his clinical work includes cooled radiofrequency lesioning for chronic joint and spinal pain.

At GARM he is moving patients from one-time procedures into long-term health optimization, which needs real measurement over time. That is the clinical lane MHP was built to serve.

Tom DiStasio leads strength and conditioning for every sport in the Central Community School System. Before Central he spent more than a decade in Division I weight rooms: Associate Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Sacramento State from 2011 to 2018, then Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Morgan State, where he oversaw strength, conditioning and nutrition for 14 varsity sports. He then moved into the tactical setting: as a contracted strength and conditioning coach for the United States Navy he trained Navy SEALs, and as a strength and conditioning specialist with the United States Air Force he trained F-16 and F-35 pilots.

He played football at Cornell, where he earned a B.S. in Human Biology and Nutrition, and holds an M.S. in Kinesiology from Southern Illinois University. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA), a Starting Strength Coach and a USA Weightlifting coach, competed nationally in Olympic weightlifting as a junior, and has coached the lifts for more than 15 years.

At Central he enters strength and speed for football, baseball and basketball on MHP himself, so the KPIs the platform tracks come from the coach who tests them.
