WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE CURTAIN?

My name's Ruben Perczek, but you can call me Doc. We help professional fútbol team owners & executives to bring out the best of their Type-A talent by holistically building a brand-specific agile youth development system, without abracadabra.

Let's Get Started

First and foremost, if you are looking for the typical high performance solution for becoming more successful and happy, this is not for you.


As a leader who thrives in the discovery of possibilities not yet realized, you are not looking to be defined or receive approval through your achievements.


In fact, the achievement is not your motivation. Instead, your motivation is the process itself, sustaining and developing momentum in bringing out the best in everyone you work with, including yourself.

 

Typical high performance approaches, sound business strategy, accountability systems, and game-day readiness are vital factors, but by themselves don’t guarantee sustained excellence.

 

As a one-of-kind organizational leader, intra or entrepreneur, head coach in professional sports, or pro athlete/artist, you can have the best talent and even the privilege of a world-class infrastructure and still not have what you want.

 

Being capable of bringing out the best of you and your team is essential to create and sustain extraordinary possibilities. 

 

If you’re already on the path of discovering new frontiers of the extraordinary, and you want to learn the art of bringing out the best of others and yourself, 

this is for you.

First-Ever Female Mayor in Miami's History

Daniella Levine Cava was elected Miami-Dade County’s first-ever woman Mayor in November 2020. The county operates a $9 billion budget and serves the public of Miami through 28,000+ public county staff. As her personal leadership strategic advisor since 2005, I support her to create the conditions for Miami Dade to live, work, and play in a resilient, sustainable, innovative, and inclusive environment.

Evolve the backbone of Your most prized asset

As someone who loves quality and thrives on the edges of unprecedented possibilities, you know that we are all different. To bring out the best of people, we can’t all be treated the same way.

 

You know that you must go beyond the basics (i.e., hire the right staff, manage budgets, strategic planning, positive thinking, high performance habits, energy management, political astuteness, etc).

 

You are looking beyond conventional problem-solving “how to adjust those loose screws” approaches, to be effective at the very top of your game; not just with another win in the column, or award on the shelf, but as a leader who works strategically to create what matters most to you and your people.

 

And you’re ready to discover the art of bringing out people’s best —You need an experienced “excellence whisperer” with a proven record of bringing out the extraordinary, without abracadabra.

Bringing out the best of you and the team requires a different skill set than traditional individual and team performance coaching.

Pro Athletes and Artists

The incredible passion, hope, and energy that drives high-performing pro athletes and artists to compete and perform is the same force that will lead to their burnout, if left unchecked. I work with world-class athletes and artists to consistently unlock and reveal their best.
