Past Performance
“The HEART and the HOW of a CHAMPION with Coach Chris Brown clearly explains what leaders and members of high-performing teams live out every day. As a Special Operations Forces (SOF) leader, I immediately recognized the transferability of Chris' coaching expertise to high-performing teams in any industry. Chris' champion mindset is very similar to the mindset that Special Operation Forces learn through high-risk training that prepares their small teams for no-fail missions when their nation's strategic objectives are on the line. Chris really explains what leaders need to know to coach, mentor, and train their own high-performing teams in any industry.” Joshua Kelley. US Army Special Operations Forces.
