Chris is a father of three, youth football coach, and leadership professional who is passionate about helping athletes, coaches, and parents better understand themselves and perform at their best under pressure.
As a former player, a coach and father of two athletes, Chris has spent years working with players, families, and teams. Along the way, he noticed a common challenge: many athletes struggle not because they lack talent, but because they don't understand their strengths, how they respond to pressure, or where they fit within a team. He's also seen talented kids lose confidence, and sometimes leave sports altogether, because they didn't believe they brought value.
Those experiences led Chris to co-found The Pressure Playbook with behavioral expert Jason Kiesau.
Together, they help athletes build confidence, coaches maximize the strengths of every player, and parents create stronger communication and deeper connections with their children both on and off the field.
Chris believes every athlete deserves to know they matter, every personality has value, and great teams are built when people understand the unique strengths they bring to those around them.
Jason is a father of two, executive facilitator, social intelligence consultant, and lifelong student of human behavior with more than 25 years of experience helping people communicate better, build stronger relationships, and perform at their best under pressure.
A former football player, youth football coach, and father of a football player pursuing Division I opportunities, Jason is passionate about helping young men develop character, emotional intelligence, leadership skills, and a sense of purpose. He is the creator of RESPECT-ABLE, a leadership and emotional intelligence program for elementary-aged boys, a contributor to The Good Men Project, and the author of FOCUSED, Your Future Starts Now!
Throughout his career, Jason has been fascinated by why some people succeed while others struggle, why some people have confidence while others are driven by insecurity, and how to help people become the best version of themselves. Those interests eventually led to a partnership with Coach Coop and the creation of The Pressure Playbook™.
Jason's purpose is to help people achieve more success with less stress. Through Pressure Playbook™, he and Coach Coop help athletes and coaches better understand themselves, understand each other, and perform more effectively when it matters most, on the field and in life.
