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

The members of the SHCA are very passionate about the work they do! Everyone knows that in Saskatchewan, "if the earth moved, it was us!" Ken's presentation on inspiring your employees instead of simply settling for momentary motivation really resonated with many in the room. Ken's ability to connect with his audience through his personal stories really takes the listener to the next level and forces you to take a look at areas you want to improve upon personally, and/or professionally. We'd definately use Ken again for another event and/or one on one coaching! He's a top quality presenter!!

Champion Performance Systems was a game changer for me. Connecting with Ken Larson shifted me from being unsure as to what was ahead as a new leader, to confidently creating a path for leadership and establishing a clear direction. I appreciated every moment.

I have been working with Ken for approximately for a year and have found him to be an excellent resource for addressing professional and personal issues and opportunities. Ken is an extremely focused individual and takes an action-oriented approach that delivers results. We have leveraged his abilities from a corporate perspective, specifically the FranklinCovey and Gazelle programs, with considerable success and intend to utilize his talents in the future to assist in the development of our business initiatives and corporate culture.
Peter Huff
I first saw Ken Larson at a conference where he was speaking. His energy, approach and insight left a lasting impression. So much so that I engaged him as a personal coach. Ken helped me create a personal value and mission statement that I use to this day. These statements continue to guide me in my goal setting and in priority setting activities. Through the coaching process Ken helped guide me through the tough self work needed to get clarity on what is truly most important to me. It wasn't easy but with his help I arrived at a great result. I would happily recommend Ken to anyone looking for a personal Coach to help them with career and life direction decisions.
