Listen Later

This week, we sit down with David Kitchen, aka “Coach Kitch”, to dive into his inspiring journey from a former Division 1 football coach to a motivational speaker walking in his purpose.

Coach Kitch opened up about his initial resistance to coaching, admitting that he struggled with the idea of transitioning from playing the game to teaching it. Instead, he pursued other jobs, made money, but never felt truly fulfilled. That’s when he decided to take a leap—handwriting letters to coaches across the country, searching for an opportunity. From that moment, he never looked back.


In this episode, we discuss the power of purpose, the importance of mental health, and how coaching ultimately led him to start his own business as a motivational speaker. His impact goes far beyond wins and championships—he’s building relationships, inspiring others, and shifting the narrative.


When asked about his IT Factor, he shared that it’s not about the rings or accolades—it’s about the ability to connect with people, make an impact, and build meaningful relationships.


Salute to Coach Kitch for the work he’s doing. His journey is proof that when you walk in your purpose, true success follows. 💯
