gary russell: Winning Profile

Dr Gary Russell has tirelessly worked and researched to achieve his lifelong goal of “Lifting people beyond their vision of capability.” Whether with adults, small companies or major corporations, he has proven himself the premier expert in the development of people. Gary has achieved this by focusing on individuals’ strengths and talents to maximize their own performance and productivity as well as those with whom they interact. Gary has spent the last four decades running North American Sports Camps, the world’s largest sports camp company, and played a key role in the expansion of soccer in America. He has worked with the First Lady Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” Foundation, Disney, the National Football League, Major League Soccer, the Premier Leagues of both England and Northern Ireland, and with several sports legends, including Pelé, golfer Jack Nicklaus, and football greats Steve Young and Bill Walsh.

Gary is also the founder of The Focus Group, which created many of the communication, behavioural, talent and strengths concepts and formulas administered by Winning Profile today. Gary works alongside Sir Clive Woodward at Winning Profile. Sir Clive has achieved great success in nearly every facet of the athletic world. After years of success on the rugby field, Sir Clive tried his hand at coaching, taking what had become a relatively defunct English Rugby program and turning the team into World Champions once again. He has been honoured numerous times for his achievements, most notably being knighted and recently named Director of Elite Performance for the British Olympic Association.
