KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Own Your Next Play: Master The Separation Factor and Go From Good To Great
Greatness isn’t reserved for the chosen few—it’s forged in the fire of daily choices, relentless preparation, and the unshakeable belief that your next move is your greatest opportunity.
In “Own Your Next Play,” Chrissy Stragisher—former WNBA strength coach to All‑Stars and Olympians—pulls back the curtain on the mindset and habits that transform overlooked competitors into champions.
You’ll discover why the most successful leaders, innovators, and athletes aren’t always the most naturally gifted, but the most disciplined in their preparation and resilient in the face of adversity.
Through vivid stories of undrafted players who fought their way onto rosters, cut athletes who rewrote their narratives, and high‑pressure moments that demanded everything, you’ll see exactly how to apply these proven strategies to your own life and work.
Walk away not just inspired, but armed with a clear, action‑packed playbook designed to help you seize every opportunity, outlast every challenge, and elevate your performance—one empowered choice at a time.
What You’ll Discover
Own Your Choices
When you learn to lead yourself—to take full ownership of every decision—you unlock a new level of confidence. You stop waiting for external validation, blaming circumstances, or looking around for permission. Because when you own your choices, you own your confidence. And when you own your confidence? You own your life.Trust the Process
Look at the best athletes. We often assume they were destined for greatness—born with more talent, more opportunity, more of something. But many of the greatest players I’ve worked with weren’t the most naturally gifted. They were overlooked, went undrafted, or got cut in training camp. In that moment, they had a choice: give up, or prepare better. They chose self‑leadership. They focused not on their current performance, but on their next play—transforming each setback into a setup for success.
Supercharge Your Energy
Greatness demands stamina—physical, mental, and emotional. Break free from the fatigue trap by adopting simple, sustainable rhythms that fuel creativity, reduce irritability, and give you the stamina to chase your biggest goals. With energy on your side, you’ll try new things, push past limits, and lead with relentless momentum.
