Elevate Athletic Performance: From Locker Room to Boardroom
Sports organizations succeed when everyone performs at their best—athletes, coaches, executives, and administrators. Pressure is high, expectations are relentless, and results are public.

Hi, I’m Alan.
I fell in love with the game of basketball at 5 years old. I’m grateful that four-and-half decades later it’s still a major passion of my life.
Since then, I’ve trained NBA players, gotten married, gotten divorced, had three kids (who are teenagers now!), written three books, and spoken on hundreds of stages around the world!
Each of these experiences have shaped my perspective, my philosophy, and my approach to improving performance, productivity, and fulfillment and allowed me to impact tens of thousands of people “win” at the highest levels.
Alan has helped hundreds of businesses achieve more by teaching practical, actionable strategies to help teams focus on the fundamentals consistently.
More impactful leadership. More sales revenue. More team cohesion. More loyal customers.
Alan’s goal is to deliver a powerful message on stage and be incredibly easy and enjoyable to work with!
