Brett Bartholomew is a performance coach, best-selling author, keynote speaker, adjunct professor, and founder of the leadership development company Art of Coaching™ (formerly The Bridge Human Performance®). He holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Kansas State University and a Master of Science in Education in exercise science, with an emphasis on motor behavior, cueing, and attentional focus in human performance, from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.
Brett has coached a diverse range of athletes across 23 sports, from youth to Olympians, in both team settings (NCAA and professional) and individually, and has supported Super Bowl and World Series champions along with professional fighters, including UFC competitors. He has also worked individually with members of the United States Special Forces community. Through Art of Coaching™, he now consults with corporations in the financial and tech sectors, medical professionals, and military and professional sporting organizations, helping leaders coach and communicate more effectively through a deeper understanding of human behavior, persuasion, and power dynamics. His coaching and speaking have taken him around the world, from China to Brazil and numerous stops in between.
Brett is the author of the best-selling book Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In, which argues that while enormous attention has been paid to the science of physical training, comparatively little has been paid to the science of communication — and that learning to move people, not just their bodies, is essential to getting the most out of them. The book is now used by several universities to help train future coaches and professionals, and Brett has built out an entire course continuing where the book left off, diving deeper into the application of coaching science. Across his content and consulting work, Brett consistently returns to themes of authentic buy-in over compelled authority, reading and adapting to different athlete and client archetypes, and the idea that experience — not mere exposure to ideas — is what actually makes someone a credible coach.
