This is Johan Martinez-Khalilian. Think of him as a coach to strengthen your brain. He’s worked with athletes in the NCAA, NHL, MLB, and NBA, helping them master what he calls “the inner game” — basically, showing up as your best self no matter the pressure.

He’s coached champions, advised top leaders in tech and entertainment, and still finds time to be a full-on sneakerhead and hip hop head. Johan grew up in Humboldt Park, Chicago, with Puerto Rican and Persian roots, so he knows a thing or two about grit, culture, and connecting with people.

Johan’s work has been recognized on The Today Show, TedX, and WLS Chicago. Today, he’s here to help you think bigger, aim higher, and maybe even win your own version of a championship — let’s get it!
