ABOUT CENTER CIRCLE INFLUENCERS
Leadership is Influence - Transformational Leadership is Intentional Influence
"With a lifetime spent in sport - as a young player, a club player, a high school player, a college player, a professional player, a college coach for almost 30 years and now as a professional coach - my whole life has been an inside to out study of teams.
What makes teams work? Why are some teams successful while others are not? How can we intentionally create a culture that allows each individual to fully express herself or himself so that the team can fully become all that it might be?
Center Circle Influencers was created to help intentional sport leaders create an environment where team members can thrive. Through relationships and partnerships of mentoring, consulting, teaching, coaching and collaborative ideation, Center Circle Influencers will help you become the best version of you so that your team can then be the best version it can be.
We are turning the game inside out - with purpose, and on purpose - starting with YOU, and spreading to every ring of your ever expanding circle of influence."
- Coach Mike Avery, Founder / CEO

CENTER CIRCLE OF COACHES
Consulting & Mentoring Partnerships
The Center Circle of Coaches are a collection of sport leaders who understand that "it's lonely at the top" can be more than an often repeated cliche' - and that for many coaches, administrators, managers, and CEOs of all industries, isolation can be a real by-product of leadership that needs your attention. From the youth game through professional sport, coaching can be a lonely position. Your staff works for you and tells you what you want to hear; you work for your bosses and with them you need to communicate confidence; your friends are coaches like you - and ultimately your competitors - so with them you only go so deep. Your family support you, but really... who wants to bring work home all the time? Outsiders are quick to judge and have plenty of opinions, but they are on the outside.
So, who do you talk to? Where do you turn for guidance, advice, inspiration?
Our Center Circle of Coaches is a select group of clients with whom we seek intentionally to influence through confidential consulting and mentoring partnerships.
Are you being intentionally challenged to grow as a leader? Do you need a check of alignment on your actions and behaviors to your coaching mission? Are you making the impact you hope to be making on your players and staff?
What about life / work balance? Are your priorities in order?
Are you achieving your goals and still leaving everyone around you with their dignity?
Want to talk team culture, staff or player management? Recruiting strategies? Marketing, social media messaging, fundraising ideas? Training, tactics? Sport is constantly evolving, are you?
Handling a boss, managing a board of directors? Parent issues?
Maybe you need guidance about navigating your career path?
The Center Circle is 100% confidential, designed specifically for you to support you.
