Michael Center, former University of Texas tennis coach, shares his journey from being arrested as part of the nationwide college admissions scandal to writing his book "Breaking Serve" about his path to recovery.

• Center's coaching career began unexpectedly at 25 when offered the women's tennis coaching position at Kansas
• The University of Texas tennis program faced facility challenges when their courts were demolished to build a hospital
• Center was arrested by FBI agents at his home on March 12, 2019 as part of "Operation Varsity Blues"
• He explains how his involvement stemmed from attempting to raise funds for new tennis facilities
• Center maintains that university officials were aware of the student's admission through proper documentation
• His team won the national championship just months after his arrest, which he had to watch from afar
• Center served his prison sentence during COVID-19, spending 42 days confined indoors as the virus spread
• The book "Breaking Serve" focuses on resilience and recovery rather than blame
• Center now does public speaking and coaching while helping others overcome adversity

I share my four-year journey with elevated PSA levels and prostate health monitoring. After seeing my PSA jump from 0.9 to 2.7 in two years, I embarked on a thorough medical investigation including multiple biopsies, MRIs, and ultimately successful treatment with Dutasteride.

• PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) should ideally stay between 0-4 in men
• Rising PSA levels warrant investigation even when within normal range
• Underwent comprehensive testing including two 12-point biopsies, both negative for cancer
• Dutasteride treatment successfully lowered my PSA from 5.09 to 1.54
• Risk factors for prostate cancer include age, family history, and certain ethnicities
• Regular PSA testing is crucial for early detection and high survival rates
• Prostate cancer awareness shouldn't be limited to September

Get your PSA checked regularly. Don't allow September to be the only month that we are aware of prostate cancer. Do it annually. I do it twice a year. Reach out to me and I will provide the resources and information to help you take this important step for yourself and your family.
