What gets Curtis Pelletier fired up in his work as a performance coach?
鈥淪eeing others succeed,鈥� he answers.
Curtis was a professional baseball player, whose career ended early due to injury. He moved straight into coaching at the age of 24.
鈥淚 have been a coach, GM and scout for multiple teams over the past 17 years in professional, collegiate and international baseball,鈥� he says. 鈥淲orking with high-performance athletes and teams has allowed me to transition seamlessly to working with high-performance professionals and businesses. The similarities between sport and business are fascinating to me and ones that I like to share with my clients.鈥�
Since he is the father of three daughters, it鈥檚 no surprise that outside of work Curtis鈥檚 passion lies in his family: 鈥淢y wife and daughters are my world,鈥� he says.
But the best life lesson he has learned is self-care: 鈥淭o love myself and take care of myself first. If I鈥檓 not right, no one in my life gets the best version of me.鈥�
Good style to Curtis is whatever makes someone feel good, and asked to describe his personal style, he says quite simply, 鈥淐lean.鈥�
