What 130 Coaching Is All About
130 Coaching is about clearing what’s blocking your momentum — not with cookie-cutter programs, but with real conversations that meet you where you are. We don’t do hype or hacks here. We do clarity, ownership, and forward movement — one real step at a time.

The Story Behind 130
130 was my wrestling weight class my junior year of high school. For that one season, my mindset and work ethic were elevated in ways I had not experienced before. It led to results I couldn’t have imagined. I didn’t repeat that success the following year at 135.
To me, 130 represents doing things the right way. Believing in yourself. Putting in the work when no one is watching. It’s a mindset to return to when life gets tough and diligence is required. That’s why this is called 130 Coaching.

Testimonials
Chris helped me learn to utilize my time with intent, prioritize and organize my days getting it ALL done. He gave me the tools needed to set daily goals for myself deciphering what is most important and get it done successfully!
Chris was very easy to talk to, it felt like we were old friends. His questions made my wheels get to turning. The scheduled weekly calls were the motivation I needed. Every week I’m thinking okay I’m accountable for doing something we discussed.
