This rapid ascent, while addressing his identity loss as a former student-athlete, led him to confront burnout and the pressures of high performance, prompting a reevaluation of his purpose. After stepping down as District Manager, Chris dedicated his late twenties to consulting, organizing networking events, serving on the board for the Black Life Arts & Culture Coalition (an initiative of the Alabama Contemporary Art Center), and inspiring communities with his story. The pandemic in 2020 provided him the space to gain clarity and build a new foundation as a business owner with a renewed mission. Over the past five years, he has immersed himself in studying neuroscience, peak performance, and burnout, aiming to provide science-backed strategies that can be implemented immediately. As the author of Triggered 2 Triumph, Chris offers a framework for beating burnout, building a high-flow lifestyle, and becoming a high performer. His work equips student-athletes, coaches, and leaders with the tools to manage pressure, prevent burnout, and unlock their full potential. A devoted husband and father of 5, his relentless drive and deep-rooted passion for optimal human performance reflect his love for family and vision for society. With a diverse background spanning athletics, leadership consulting, and personal development, Christopher bridges the gap between sports, education, and corporate leadership. Whether working with athletic departments, educators, or corporate teams, he delivers powerful insights on mental resilience, high-performance habits, and transformational leadership.
