Chasing Perfection | Mike Becker | TEDxCoconutGrove

If there is a hard limit to physical achievement, what does that mean for us? Mike Becker has been a mathematics instructor and track and field coach at Ransom Everglades since 2004. From 1988-2004, Mike developed an appreciation of the seemingly incongruent fields of mathematics and athletics; while teaching math and coaching track and field at Florida International University. At FIU, Mike developed and mentored a number of All American and Olympic athletes, and directed the Student Athlete Support Unit of the University . Mike is a graduate of Princeton University with a degree in Biology and Certificate in Science in Human Affairs and earned a master's degree in mathematics education from FIU.
