I’m Coach Curtis, your host, your performance coach, and quite possibly the only guy who’s gonna tell you the hard shit you don’t wanna hear… and do it with a smile. Or at least a well-timed fuck off.
Now, before we dive in, let me tell you who I am—because, honestly, I’m not your average “influencer” peddling some half-assed eBook on how to live your best life. I’m the real deal. I’m a husband—second go around because, yeah, life’s messy, and sometimes we screw it up before we get it right. I’m a proud dad of three daughters who keep me grounded and occasionally question my sanity. I’m also a former slugger in baseball—played at the highest levels, swung a big bat, and yeah, I’ve still got the swagger.
I’m a guy who’s been through the fire. I battled addiction—booze was my poison. I used to call myself an alcoholic, but I don’t anymore. Because here’s the thing—the way we talk to ourselves shapes who we become. More on that later, but for now, just know this: I’ve been at rock bottom, and I climbed my ass out.
I love nice shit—cars, watches, a perfectly cooked steak—but I’m not out here flexing for the ’Gram. And I’m definitely not the clown shirtless on your feed yelling, “Buy my course to level up your life!” Fuck that noise. I actually coach. I actually care. And I actually get results.
So, if you’re looking for some cookie-cutter, overly positive life advice—you’re in the wrong place. But if you want real talk about performance, parenting, life, and all the messy, gritty parts in between—buckle the fuck up.
