Overview
What is The CHAMP Factor?
The CHAMP Factor is a nonprofit outreach built around a Mindset Training System created to help people close the gap between Potential and Performance.
We help people understand what’s happening in the Moment, analyze it, and make stronger adjustments so they can perform closer to their Potential more consistently.
The CHAMP Factor includes The CHAMP Factor System and The CHAMP Training Lab, where people learn the system, train it, and use it repeatedly.
What makes The CHAMP Factor different?
Most training systems help people improve what they CAN do through technical, tactical, physical, mental, and other forms of development.
Those things are needed because they build Potential.
The CHAMP Factor focuses on the gap between what someone CAN do and what they actually WILL do when the Moment arrives.
✔ CAN = what someone is capable of doing.
✔ WILL = what someone actually does or doesn't do in the Moment.
The CHAMP Factor helps people turn more of what they CAN do into what they WILL do.
Skill Builds Potential.
Mindset in the Moment Drives Performance.
Is The CHAMP Factor only for athletes?
No.
The CHAMP Factor can be used in sports and everyday life, including family, school, work, leadership, and relationships.
Does The CHAMP Factor replace mental performance coaching, counseling, therapy, or sports psychology?
No.
The CHAMP Factor is a complement, not a competitor.
It can work alongside:
✔ Coaches
✔ Mental performance coaches
✔ Sports psychologists
✔ Counselors
✔ Therapists
✔ Athletic trainers
✔ Academic support professionals
✔ Leadership and personal-development professionals
The CHAMP Factor provides a Mindset Training System that helps people:
✔ Understand their Moments,
✔ Better understand themselves,
✔ Make adjustments, and
✔ Get Stronger through experience.
Does The CHAMP Factor guarantee results?
No.
Outcomes are influenced by many factors, including circumstances outside a person's control.
✔ Someone can perform like a CHAMP and still experience an Outcome they didn't want.
✔ Someone can also receive the Outcome they wanted while producing Gameplay they wouldn't want to repeat.
The CHAMP Factor helps people understand their Moments, make stronger adjustments, learn from experience, and place themselves in a stronger position to perform closer to their Potential more consistently.
The System
What is The CHAMP Factor System?
The CHAMP Factor System is the Mindset Training System people learn and use across Moments.
The system includes:
✔ The CHAMP Standard
✔ The Development Pathway
✔ The Moments Model
✔ The CHAMP Cycle
✔ Root Heart Desires
✔ The Analytics Suite
✔ CHAMP Language
✔ CHAMP Tools & Techniques
✔ Repeated training and learning through experience
The system is organized around two major frameworks:
The Moments Model helps people understand and Analyze what's happening within a Moment.
The CHAMP Cycle helps people learn and Get Stronger through cycles of experience.
What is The Moments Model?
The Moments Model is a visual map of the human experience.
It helps people understand and analyze how Moments unfold:
Moment → Engagement → Beliefs → Emotions → Self-Talk → Gameplay → Outcome
It gives people a practical way to Analyze an experience and better understand what may be happening within the Moment.
What is The CHAMP Cycle?
The CHAMP Cycle is the repeatable process used to learn and Get Stronger through cycles of experience.

It helps people prepare for Moments, perform within them, learn from what happened, reinforce what should be repeated, and adjust what should become stronger.
Then they use it again in the next Moment.
What is The CHAMP Standard?
CHAMP is the standard for every Role you play and everything you do.
The Role Changes. The Standard Doesn’t.
The CHAMP Check uses five CHAMP Indicators to help people recognize what's Strong and what may be too High or too Low.
The purpose is to help them see how they measure up to The CHAMP Standard in the Moment.
✔ Know Your Role.
✔ Be a CHAMP.
✔ Do CHAMP Things.
What is The Analytics Suite?
The Analytics Suite is a connected system of checks used to help people understand and analyze what's happening within a Moment in a matter of seconds.
It includes:
✔ Impact Check
Looks at Beliefs and Self-Talk
✔ RHD Check
Looks at Emotions and Motivation
✔ CAM Check
Looks at Choices and Actions
✔ CHAMP Check
Looks at how you measure up to the CHAMP Standard
What does Know Yourself. Grow Yourself. Lead Yourself. Lead Others. mean?
This is The CHAMP Factor Development Pathway.
✔ Know Yourself
Understand yourself and recognize patterns in how you experience and respond to Moments.
✔ Grow Yourself
Use your experiences to strengthen how you think, respond, communicate, and act from Moment to Moment.
✔ Lead Yourself
Become increasingly capable of coaching yourself and choosing how you will respond and perform.
✔ Lead Others
Use what you understand and practice to help others understand, grow, and lead themselves.
The Development Pathway describes how people grow through The CHAMP Factor.
Can The CHAMP Factor be used in everyday Moments?
Yes. This is why it was created.
The system includes tools for use before, during, and after any moment.
Some components help with preparation and reflection.
Others help people quickly redirect attention, respond to emotional intensity, and choose what a CHAMP should do next while the Moment is still unfolding.
Why does mindset need to be trained repeatedly?
Mindset in the Moment can change from Moment to Moment, so training has to go beyond understanding the idea once.
People need repeated opportunities to use the system in different Moments, learn from what happened, recognize what worked, make adjustments, and build new evidence over time.
That’s why The CHAMP Factor is designed for ongoing training instead of one-time learning.
The Training Lab
What is The CHAMP Training Lab?
The CHAMP Training Lab is the online training environment where people learn The CHAMP Factor System, train it, and use it repeatedly.
The goal is to move beyond knowing the system and actually use it in everyday Moments.
Is The CHAMP Factor a course?
No. This is NOT a course you complete in 3 days, 6 weeks, or even a year.
The CHAMP Factor is a system you train and use repeatedly.
Think of it like playing a sport.
You get better with repetition and experience over time. The same is true with The CHAMP Factor.
The Training Lab reinforces the system through:
✔ CHAMP Language
✔ Repetition
✔ Practice
✔ Reflection
✔ Real-world application
✔ Learning through experience
How much time does the Training Lab require?
Most Training Lab experiences take just 5–15 minutes at a time.
Training is short and focused so people can learn and reinforce the system consistently without needing long blocks of time.
The goal isn't to consume more information.
The goal is to train the system well enough to recognize patterns and use it more naturally from Moment to Moment.
What happens inside the Training Lab?
The Training Lab uses connected training experiences including:
✔ CHAMP Talks
Short, focused video or audio messages that help people better understand The CHAMP Factor System and recognize how it applies to the Moments they experience.
✔ CHAMP Insights
Help people recognize the system through timeless wisdom, quotes, and everyday life.
✔ The CHAMP Factor Film Room
Applies the system to Moments from sports and everyday life. (See the last question for an in-depth overview)
✔ CHAMP Tracks
Short audio training sessions that use repeated CHAMP Language patterns to help strengthen productive Beliefs, Self-Talk, preparation, recovery, and Mindset in the Moment.
✔ CHAMP Conversations
Help people process what they are learning through discussion, reflection, questions, and coaching.
✔ CHAMP Challenges
Create opportunities to apply the system in everyday life.
✔ CHAMP Training Series
Short On-Demand training series that go deeper into a specific topic and help you put The CHAMP Factor System to work in everyday Moments.
New CHAMP Training Series are added when a topic deserves more focused training or when questions and feedback show us there’s a need.
Can I ask questions about anything in The Training Lab?
Yes.
Within the weekly rhythm, members can use a short feedback form to:
✔ Share what stood out or resonated
✔ Ask a question
✔ Submit a Moment or scenario
✔ Suggest a future CHAMP Talk or topic
✔ Share other feedback
We review submissions to help shape future Training Lab content, but we may not be able to respond to every question individually.
Members can also choose whether selected feedback may be shared using their first name and state, state only, or kept private.
Does The Training Lab have a community forum or social feed?
No. And that's on purpose.
The Training Lab is a training-first environment.
It is not built around likes, followers, public posting, or popularity.
The focus is on learning The CHAMP Factor System, using it in everyday Moments, and Getting Stronger through repeated training and experience.
Members can still learn from other people through The Film Room, where real scenarios are submitted, broken down, and used as training opportunities.
Log in. Lock in. Train.
What is The CHAMP Factor Film Room?
The CHAMP Factor Film Room turns everyday Moments into training opportunities.
Athletes, parents, coaches, and others can submit scenarios they have experienced or witnessed in sports and everyday life.
Selected scenarios are broken down using The CHAMP Factor System so members can better understand what happened, what may have affected it, and what could be adjusted or strengthened for the next Moment.
Because submissions come from people and organizations across the country, members get to learn from Moments and situations they may not have experienced themselves.
You don't have to experience every situation yourself to learn from it.
The Film Room also lets members see how RevKev Nathaniel, creator of The CHAMP Factor System, would understand and Analyze Moments using the system.
Over time, every new scenario becomes another opportunity to:
✔ Recognize patterns
✔ Better understand Moments
✔ Practice Analyzing what may be happening
✔ Prepare for similar Moments
That is what makes the Film Room more than a library of examples.
It's a growing training environment built around Moments from sports and everyday life.
