High Performance Strategist

Let's Talk

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FINISH LINE?

My name's Ruben Perczek, but you can call me Doc. I help professional sports institutions evolve high performing human systems, guiding the alignment of their leadership teams and development of their top talent, without killing the human beings along the way.

Let's Get Started

For professional fútbol team executives and head coaches,

finding the recipe for enduring success is not simple. 

 

 

Sound organizational strategy and game-day formations are vital factors, but by themselves don’t guarantee success long-term. Off the pitch, high potential human development is essential to ensure enduring financial and performance excellence.

 

 

I am here to guide the club form the backbone of their most prized assets,

grow their brand reputation, and positively influence the future of fútbol.

 

 

If you’re a professional sports team executive or pro head coach looking for a collaborative and transformative strategic approach that effectively brings out people’s best, this is for you.

Working with Doc Ruben

At the age of 30, Jaime de la Pava won the title with the Carlos Sarmiento Lora in Colombia's first C division. At 32, he won the Merconorte International title, at 33 the league, and at 43 Colombia's Cup. During the pandemic, Jaime and I began a journey focused on his leadership development as a head coach, emphasizing the evolution of the human being in high performance sport. Our partnership is fueled by a comprehensive integral strategy that unifies him, the team, and the institutional leadership in one single direction. More importantly, our work together is supporting him to grow himself beyond the obsession of results, to live for the greater good of his family, Colombia's futbol legacy, and the larger well-being of the communities he deeply cares for.
