• Culture Coach is a behavior-science-driven coaching practice focused on developing athletes, students, coaches, and teams through intentional culture, leadership, and habit formation. We help individuals and organizations translate behavior science into practical systems that support consistent performance and personal growth.

  • Culture Coach works with athletes across all sports. Our behavior-science-based coaching focuses on skills that apply universally — emotional regulation, accountability, leadership, focus, and consistency — regardless of sport.

    Because our work is centered on behavior and performance habits, we support athletes in individual and team sports, including (but not limited to):

    • Football

    • Basketball

    • Soccer

    • Baseball and softball

    • Volleyball

    • Track and field

    • Swimming

    • Tennis

    • Golf

    • Wrestling

    • Cheer and dance

    • Lacrosse

    • Hockey

    • Martial arts

    • Individual and emerging sports

    If an athlete operates in a performance-driven environment, Culture Coach’s approach translates.

  • Culture Coach works with:

    • High school, collegiate, and professional athletes

    • Coaches and coaching staffs

    • Sports teams and athletic programs

    • Students and families through Step Up for Students–supported services

    • Leaders operating in high-performance environments

    Our work supports those seeking structure, accountability, and sustainable development — not short-term motivation.

  • Behavior-science-based coaching applies research-backed principles from behavioral science to understand why behaviors occur and how to change them reliably. Instead of relying on motivation or inspiration alone, we use evidence-based strategies to design environments, routines, and feedback systems that make effective behaviors more likely under pressure. Our work focuses on building repeatable habits, emotional regulation skills, and leadership behaviors that are observable, measurable, and sustainable over time.

  • How is culture coach different etc? Traditional coaching often emphasizes mindset, motivation, or advice. Culture Coach focuses on behavior—and the systems that shape it.

    Our approach is grounded in behavioral research and applied behavior science, meaning we assess patterns, identify skill gaps, and implement evidence-based interventions rather than relying on willpower or intensity alone.

    We work on:

    • Observable habits and decision-making under pressure

    • Consistency over intensity

    • Leadership behaviors that shape culture

    • Systems, cues, and feedback loops that support accountability

    This results in more reliable performance, clearer expectations, and long-term behavior change, not short-term motivation.

    Culture Coach helps teams:

    • Reduce inconsistency and emotional reactivity

    Strong cultures are intentionally designed, not assumed.

  • Yes. Culture Coach provides individual coaching for athletes focused on:

    • Emotional regulation and focus
