Featured WOC Clients
Way of Champions was founded and developed by Dr. Jerry Lynch, one of the world’s top leadership, performance and team culture specialists. WOC is a human potential consulting group helping others to master the deeper mental and heart game for sports, business and life.
Jerry first learned about extraordinary performance and excellence as a nationally ranked competitive athlete sponsored by Nike, running world class times from 5,000 meters to the marathon, setting an American masters record in the half-marathon and winning a National Championship. He took what he learned about himself and life from his competitive days and parlayed it into a dynamic successful career helping athletes and coaches in all sports to use his performance and leadership strategies to up their game and discover the best version of themselves.
Dr. Lynch has had extensive media interview coverage with CBS, NBC, and PBS national television, the New York Times, Oprah Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Baltimore Sun, Outside Magazine and over 600 national radio broadcasts, podcasts and webinars. He co-hosts the Way of Champions podcast, one of the top-rated podcasts in the world for coaches and performance. He is a prolific author, having written and published 18 books in over ten languages. Jerry has intimately guided over 125 teams to World,National,Conference,and State championships.
