“There’s no better system in this
country. I could go anywhere, but I
choose to train with Mackie
Shilstone. I knew that if anyone
could help me, it would be Mackie.
Mackie had put together a medical
team of neurologists, internists,
oncologists and orthopedists. I ate
in the hospital cafeteria under his
guidance. Mackie even arranged it
so I could work out with the New
Orleans Zephyrs.”

Hundreds of million-dollar, world-class athletes have entrusted their careers to Mackie, as
have team managers, trainers and agents. That trust has been well placed. LA Dodger
Brett Butler credits Mackie with helping him beat cancer and reach his
goal of returning to major league baseball. Brett was back on the diamond
just 14 weeks after his throat cancer diagnosis. Arizona Cardinals offensive
tackle Lomas Brown has played in the Pro Bowl every year he’s
worked with Mackie. Boxing legends Michael Spinks and
Riddick Bowe had Mackie in their corners when they
won world championships. Mackie helped turn
baseball great Will Clark into a power hitter. He
helped Ozzie Smith, already one of the best short
stops to ever play the game, achieve his goal of becoming a total player, winning Golden Gloves and the Silver
Bat along the way. At one point, half of the players in the
major league All-Star Game were Mackie’s clients. His athletes include Wimbledon champ Ken Flack, NBA stand outs P. J.
Brown, Manute Bol, John “Hot Rod” Williams and Rick Mahorn
and NFL top booters Morten Andersen, Eddie Murray, Al Del
Greco and Norm Johnson. Mackie Shilstone has made or saved
scores of professional sports careers. And yours can be one of
them.
