About Coach ED

Ed Lewis

CEO & AthleteSpeaks Creator

After an impressive career as a corporate communicator, spokesman, speechwriter, journalist, and media trainer, Ed decided to channel his extensive experience into coaching young athletes to shine in the spotlight.

 

The spark for AthleteSpeak ignited when Ed witnessed his niece, Jesse-a standout soccer-player, freeze under the pressure of a post-game interview. The normally outgoing teen suddenly became shy as cameras flashed and reporters peppered her with questions.

 

To help her find her voice, they dove into mock interviews, helping Jesse craft compelling soundbites, that enabled her to articulate a unique story about soccer and its impact on her life.

 

In the fast-paced world of sports, facing a TV or print reporter can be just as intimidating as the game itself. But with expert coaching, athletes learn to embrace these moments as golden opportunities to showcase their personalities and perspectives beyond the field.

 

While he has received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, nothing compares to the thrill of witnessing student athletes transform and discover their voices. With AthleteSpeak, he's not just coaching athletes, he's empowering them to become confident communicators, ready to take on any challenge!
