MEET KEN LARSON, CEO

Every Leader Has a Coach Who Changed Everything

There is something to learn from every person you meet, and sometimes, you meet someone who has a monumental effect on your life. For Ken Larson, founder of Champion Performance Systems, it was his National Team basketball coach.

When we find someone we look up to, we are challenged, encouraged, and inspired. In admiring how someone could impact him so much, Ken realized his growing passion to ride shotgun with amazing high performers as they break through to new levels of achievement, just as his coach did for him.

The rest is history — Champion PSI is entering its 30th year in business, though the concept was inspired long before in those unforgettable, defining moments on the court.

Today, Champion PSI has grown from one to a collection of like-minded professionals with varied expertise and a wide range of personal and professional fields, all driven by one prevailing goal: to scale your life, leadership, and business through executive coaching, business expertise, specialized services, strategic thinking, and execution planning.

CERTIFICATIONS & ORGANIZATIONS

We Are Certified In And Utilize These Organizations To Support Us And Our Clients:

Our Differentiator

  • Person-first mindset: We don’t coach leadership players—we coach people. You come fully human, and that humanity is our starting point.
  • High-performance DNA: From Team Canada basketball to Fortune 500 boardrooms, we infuse elite practices with everyday pragmatism.
  • Systems thinking in action: We connect you—from your inner compass—to team dynamics, business performance, and social impact.
  • Depth over fluff: No platitudes. No fluff. Just honest, courageous conversations that push you forward.

Why It Matters

You aren’t just hiring coaches—you’re inviting a generative partnership: 

  • For you: Clarity, confidence, courage. 
  • For your team: Cohesion, rigor, results. 
  • For your business: Growth, alignment, adaptability.
  • For your impact: Legacy, influence, real-world change. 

Because at Champion PSI, winning isn’t just about metrics. It’s about cultivating the human potential that drives business—and transforms the world. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

“Leadership starts with the person, and ripples out to transform teams, businesses, and communities.”

At Champion PSI, we begin with you—the person. Because everything in leadership flows from authenticity, self-awareness, and personal purpose. We're here to light that spark, meet you on the inside, and help you own your story. Once you're anchored in your identity and strengths, you lead with clarity. We work with leaders to sharpen your mindset, align your values with action, and build the confidence to perform under pressure. This isn’t about theory—it’s about helping you show up fully in every boardroom, team call, and pivotal moment.

From there, your potential ripples outward. Your leadership team becomes a powerhouse, operating with trust, candor, and collective accountability. We bring elite-level practices—honed through corporate trenches and professional sports—to enable cohesive decision-making, breakthrough performance, and aligned collaboration.

With a high-performing team anchored behind you, the business elevates. We design strategy sessions, culture-shifts, and execution frameworks that ensure your organization delivers on its promise—sustainable growth, innovation, and market impact.

And ultimately, the true measure: the impact you leave—in your people, community, and beyond. We champion ripple effects that matter—stronger teams, more resilient organizations, and leaders who inspire change and legacy.
