High Performance Strategist

Let's Talk

WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE LOCKER ROOM?

My name's Ruben Perczek, but you can call me Doc. I help high-stakes leaders and their inner circles create winning culture strategies for sustainable achievement, without abracadabra.

Let's Get Started

For leaders in sports organizations (C-suite executives, national team head coaches, professional team head coaches), and small to mid size companies (owners, presidents, CEOs, and their inner circles),

creating a culture of enduring excellence is not simple. 

 

Sound business strategy and game-day readiness are vital factors, but by themselves don’t guarantee success long-term. Off the pitch, establishing a winning culture strategy is essential to ensure enduring financial and performance excellence.

 

If you’re a high stakes leader in sports or business looking for a world-class strategic approach that sustainably brings out your team’s best, this is for you.

Pro Head Coaches

Achievement through transformative leadership requires a different skill set than performance for the individual or the team. I partner with national team and professional head coaches to ensure they function at the top of their game, and  their coaching staff and players are “on the same page” and work effectively for continued success in the constant pressure-cooker environments of the professional leagues and international competitions.

The incredible passion, hope, and energy that drives high-performing pro athletes to compete is the same force that will lead to their burnout, if left unchecked. I collaborate with world-class athletes to strengthen their leadership inside and outside the pitch.
