Who We Are

About Champion PSI

The Story

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 in its 26th 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 business through executive coaching and strategic planning.

What People Are Saying

Ken Larson presented a key note at the Glencoe Golf & Country Club annual supervisors retreat in March 2013. His presentation was inspirational, thought provoking and engaging. He was very highly rated by all attendees, a great way to start our golf season! Ken has a unique ability to apply humour and stories to help bring the message home. I highly recommend Ken as a key note speaker.
Greg Lundmark
Professional Private Club Executive/Manager
I have been working with Ken for the past 5 years as my personal business coach. I have found his frank approach and discipline at keeping me on task and accountable to in valuable as we work to get the right people in the right places.
Jerry Gunn
CEO, Precision Giant Systems Inc.
I met Ken on our first day of TEC boot camp. We bonded immediately. Ken's passion for everything--but especially helping others is apparent in everything he does. Ken has also been a resource speaker for my TEC groups and was fantastic. Whether as a Coach, Keynote or motivational speaker or TEC Chair, Ken is the best.
John R. Howman
CEO Coach & Management Consultant
Take a former business professor, add a new venture start-up, then add a high performance executive coach like Ken Larson to help the professor become a national company president. I credit Ken Larson and my TEC membership with fast-forwarding GoForth Institute's success. I would have gotten "there" on my own - but I got "there" a lot faster with Ken's help.
Leslie McGeough
President & Founder, GoForth Institute
Ken Larson's skillful method of weaving concrete solutions with meaningful anecdotes gave me the fire to apply his techniques to find new methods both personally and professionally. Ken walks his talk and he brought life, energy and determination to what potentially could have been a difficult virtual presentation to CAPL during COVID. I highly recommend Ken if you need a push, new momentum or to discover which direction to lead your team or yourself.
Jeff Rideout
Vice President, Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen
Ken understands the business world. He learns the business from the bottom up and at the same time works with the CEO from the top down. He helps get employees and management on the same page, share the same values, mission and action plan to move the organization from Good to Great. With his help we were able to weather the 2009 financial storm without losing any employees or business. On the contrary we were able to grow and hire during the downturn in economy. He is my career and business coach.
