Cletus Coffey | How to Use Failure as a Stepping Stone

Cletus is committed to helping executives, leaders, teams and former competing athletes go beyond settling for average to become an elite performer in work, sports, and life.

Being an athlete is all he desired to be as a kid, sports were his outlet. Playing sports was the one place Cletus felt most like himself, and could be distracted from many of life's challenges. 

His dream was to become a professional athlete. It did not matter which sport, he was just completely driven to reach his highest potential as an athlete. 

However, things don't always go according to plan. 

After his parents divorced, and the death of his baby sister, he internalized his grief and pain, by channeling all of his energy into finding happiness and success in sports. 

He was a three-sport athlete throughout high school and when it was over, his success in sports had him wanting more. 

After a successful four years in college as a two-sport student-athlete, he walked away with his degree and a burning desire to continue his athletic career to see how far he could take himself.
