WIN AT YOUR OWN GAME
Charlie Ruiz, Founder, Facilitator, Motivational Speaker, and Former Professional Baseball Player turned Executive Coach, helps you master your life's game.
WINNING DOES HAVE A COST
I thought i was
winning UNTIL…
MY STORY
An injury crushed my major league dreams with the Colorado Rockies. It ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me. I discovered that real winning isn't black and white — it's about choosing Presence Over Preference. That career-ending injury shifted my life’s focus, providing me the opportunity to connect deeply with my loved ones and redefine what was next in my own game of life.
Feeling BORED. STAGNANT.
COMplacent.
I’VE BEEN THERE
Do you feel overwhelmed and unfulfilled, just going through the motions? Are your intentions not matching your results?
You’re not alone. Many top performers hit a peak and wonder, “Now what?” They find themselves in a hustle that no longer resonates.
Companies know a fulfilled workforce is a productive one, but sustaining high performance without losing the human factor is challenging. At CLR, we don’t just talk about work/life balance. Our personal and professional lives are interconnected. It’s about feeling connected, present, and fulfilled in every aspect of life. But how do we truly live this? How do we choose presence over preference?
I understand the pressures you face. I know that an athletic mindset can drive high performance but can also make you feel it’s never enough. You hear it all the time: “The job’s not finished.” But this doesn’t have to be your mindset.
That job may actually be finished and that game is over.
So how do you start winning at your own game?
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
winning at your own game
You understand the benefits of short term wins, with the proactive strategy to play the long game.
SUSTAINED PERFORMANCE
Your moves are purposeful and your choices, deliberate. Feet are light. No one has to assume your intentions. They are closely or directly reflected in your actions.
INTENTIONAL LIVING
YOU ARE SETTING THE PACE IN YOUR RACE
You are no longer reactive. You are proactive. Hamster wheels of repeated patterns do not exist for you. Quick wins and instant reaction of gratification are less important. High performance comes from strategic patience and presence over preference.

Transformative WORKSHOPS
WINNING TOGETHER
In a world where the pace of life can feel relentless, I'm your guide to a new definition of success. With a track record of over 700 transformative trainings, I've partnered with Fortune 100 to 500 companies, reshaping and redefining their approach to the concept of winning.
Consider baseball, a sport synonymous with life's journey — a long season filled with highs and lows, where every player is expected to perform at a high level, day in and day out. It's a sport of strategy, competition and resilience, with the end goal often being: win the game.
This is where winning becomes too narrow. If our focus is on winning the game (at all costs), confined to the success on the baseball diamond or the sales goals we have to hit or the percentage of company growth we have to achieve, our preference reigns supreme over our presence. The totality of our self worth is over-indexed, leading to us reaching the pinnacle of “winning,” and feeling unfulfilled or asking ourselves that looming question, “Now what?”
Presence over preference extends to every aspect of life. Work, home, relationships — they don’t operate in silos, they’re all interconnected.
Drawing from my experience of playing a professional sport that led to my very own “Now what” life shift due to injury, I bring a unique perspective to leadership development. I don't just teach strategies; I cultivate mindset, identity and accountability, empowering your company and leaders to thrive both on and off the field.

I WORK WITH
After reaching the proverbial top, what's next? I come across top performers all the time. People who have achieved remarkable success - and find themselves in a state of complex confusion. They aren’t fulfilled and they’ve lost their curiosity. They ask questions like, “Is this really it?” No. Not anymore. It’s time to level up and think about the game with a new lens. Your lens. Discover how I can help you unlock new levels of performance, fulfillment, and impact - in life, at work and at home.
